Cow manure has been considered a major challenge on dairy farms for decades. A single dairy cow produces about 18 gal of manure every day. Depending on the manure collection, a 1,500 cow dairy operation can easily produce a liquid waste stream of more than 45,000 gal every day. Due to the sheer volume, manure is expensive to store and transport, lagoons fill up with solids and require expensive clean outs, and tighter environmental regulations only allow most farmers a very short window for putting the liquid manure back on their fields.
What if I told you, that the opportunities from manure are much bigger than the challenges? Manure consists of many valuable components, and the dairy industry is looking for technologies that convert them into valuable co-products. Not only does that create new economic opportunities for dairy farmers, it also improves their operation’s environmental performance.
Trident’s TNZ System is an award winning solution that addresses all these concerns. The system processes the manure into nutrient rich solids that contain a high percentage of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. The volume is now reduced by 80%, which generates huge operational savings. With its solids capture rate of over 98% the system recycles large volumes of nutrient-deplete water, which is used in the barns or on the fields for irrigation. The system also recovers the organic fiber, which is used as bedding material in the barns, as soil-amendment or as fuel source for energy production.
