Prosiect Slyri Slurry Project in Wales, UK
looks to reduce farm waste and address the agricultural industry's impact on
the environment by developing a dewatering and purification system to manage
slurry on farms. With the intensification of the dairy industry, slurry
management is becoming an increasing issue for farmers. Driving the project are
Coleg Sir Gâr’s Gelli Aur agricultural campus and Power & Water, a Swansea
based company specialising in electrochemical-based water treatments. Project
received funding through the Welsh Government and applies innovative and proven
concept technology to reduce air and water pollution to reduce the overall
volume of slurry by up to 80%. A de-watering and purification system is used to
filter slurry, transforming the water to a suitable quality for recycling or
discharging to a clean watercourse while utilising nutrients to produce good
quality fertilizer. This process will reduce storage of slurry on farms as well
as handling costs. Efficiently extracting nutrients from manures could save on
the cost of commercial fertilisers and reduce serious environmental impact. The
project aims to design, develop and validate economically viable systems that
will be made available commercially and used on farms.
