Technical Note 2.0

The treatment plant is designed to remove suspended colloidal material as well as the dissolved charged particles found in cow slurry. This is accomplished through electrostatic mechanisms for particle coagulation and flocculation. Two main mechanisms are employed for the removal of charged particles from the waste water streams. These are charge neutralisation and sweep flocculation.   What is Charge Neutralisation? …

Technical Note 1.0

Sample analysis gets under way. This multi-faceted project to de-water farm slurry, recover and precision apply the separated nutrients and organic matter, whilst providing treated water that can be discharged to local water courses without causing undue environmental impacts is under way. For the next few months treatment parameters will be slowly changed during the commissioning phase of the treatment …
