SLURRYSTORE PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Odor Management Advantages

The community will value the odor control and environmental containment
of a Slurrystore System, especially compared to lagoons and pits.

No system can completely eliminate odor. The Slurrystore structure offers engineered solutions to help reduce manure odor problems when compared to other storage methods. In some cases, up to 90% less odor.

• Smaller surface area (than lagoons or earthen storage pits) exposes less manure to the air.
• Above-ground design creates a “chimney effect” for lifting odors above ground level.
• In cattle manure, a natural crust forms on top, sealing in odors.
• Bottom filling reduces the amount of surface disturbance.
• An application of straw to the surface area may provide an economical “bio cover”.
