Concentration of animal manure for cost optimization

Farms often generate more manure than the farm can spread on its own fields. That is why liquid manure is often transported for kilometers to other companies, where it is spread or destroyed. This incurs enormous costs and the environment is also polluted by the emissions from the vehicles.

Research is being conducted to reduce both factors by concentrating the liquid manure with a rotary evaporator. Part of the water is withdrawn - this reduces the volume to be transported - and at the same time the nutrient content in the concentrate increases.

For this purpose, a university  from South Korea* first tested the Distimatic Benchtop Integration Package 24/7 for the distillation of up to 1.4 liters of water per hour. In the meantime the customer has acquired a Hei-VAP Industrial Distimatic System in order to multiply its throughput.
