Agriculture — Slurry Separation, Targeted Nutrient Use
Slurry is a valuable resource and excellent organic fertilizer. Mechanical separation cuts costs, simplifies storage and application, and sustainably improves fertilizer effectiveness.
Separation splits slurry into a liquid and solid phase. This simplifies storage, transport and application, and enables targeted use of the contained nutrients.
In many countries, the application of the solid phase is permitted over a significantly longer period than the liquid phase.
A key benefit is reducing required storage by up to 30 %. Footprint and investment costs for slurry pits drop significantly. The separated solids work as natural fertilizer, compost or comfort-bedding material.
Separated slurry barely forms sinking or floating layers. Stirring and spreading become easier and more uniform.
Splitting slurry into a liquid and a solid phase allows nutrients to be applied in a targeted, demand-based way. The need for mineral fertilizer is reduced, while plants take up nutrients more efficiently.
The thin, separated phase infiltrates the soil very quickly and delivers the nutrients plants need without delay. Unseparated slurry, by contrast, tends to form so-called "slurry crusts" („Güllewürste"), which contaminate forage on grassland. The consequences are silage misfermentation and reduced roughage quality.
Not least, slurry separation contributes significantly to reducing odor emissions — a decisive advantage, especially for livestock operations and biogas plants located near residential areas.
