Effluent solids-liquid split ‘not needed’

Written by 

FARMERS NEED not separate solids from the liquid in farm effluent, says the distributor of German-made Nevada pond stirrers, Mid-West Machinery.

 

Usually dairy farmers will separate the solids from effluent to allow for low-application effluent irrigation, the company says. “But why should they, when we don’t need to? Why not deal with the one product and still achieve low application depths?”

Mid-West says it offers an alternative to the trouble and expense of solids separation: innovative electric- or PTO-powered horizontal mixers.

These can mix whole effluent, in lined ponds, concrete sumps or above-ground tanks of at least 5,000,000L capacity. Fast, effective agitation/mixing is achieved using the company’s Nevada Typhoon propeller, facilitating pumping and irrigating using a travelling rain gun or effluent pods that irrigate to council requirements.
