Waste Management Systems

REAP ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

With more stringent environmental regulations, homes moving closer to agricultural operations and groundwater concerns rising, many livestock producers are realizing the economic and environmental benefits of an animal waste management system.

Designed for the proper handling, storage and utilization of livestock manure, a waste management system starts with a Slurrystore. Producers can collect, scrape and/or wash wastes into an above-ground Slurrystore, helping protect the environment and better utilizing wastes as a fertilizer.

Engineered Storage Products Company, collaborating with other companies in innovative research, takes pride in helping producers design, improve and implement better animal waste management systems.

Decanting manure helps producers achieve even land application for greater fertilizer efficiency, plus lagoons receiving decanted slurry will be less environmentally hazardous and odorous.

DECANTING MANURE BEFORE IT ENTERS LAGOON

Decanting – the process of separating nutrients in solids from liquids in slurry before it enters a lagoon – is gaining steam as a few innovative producers and universities are realizing its potential rewards.

Lagoons receiving decanted slurry will be less environmentally hazardous and odorous.

By decanting, producers can send the cleanest water possible to the lagoon, reduce odor and lessen environmental contamination in the event of a leak. To tip the scales further, decanting with a Slurrystore means capturing nutrient-rich solids, more consistent nutrient application to fields and a substantial savings in purchased fertilizer costs.
