UK
government has released guidance for farmers and landowners on rules they must
follow if their land is in a nitrate vulnerable zone (NVZ), areas at risk from
agricultural nitrate pollution. Farmers to comply with rules around storing,
spreading and separating slurry including being able to store everything
produced during a period of 5-6 months (depending on the animals they keep). So
storage or transporting off farm is costing farmers more then a piece of mind
they are protecting the environment. The solution is powered by GEA dewatering
separator which is currently in operation at Gelli Aur College Farm, Coleg Sir
Gâr, in Wales. In partnership with Power & Water, the Prosiectslyri Project
received funding through the Welsh Government and will apply proven concept
technology to reduce air and water pollution while also reducing the 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.
