Treatment of porcine livestock waste (pig manure)
 
     
 

Treatment of liquid manure

The effluent which comes from pig farming, commonly known as pig manure, represents a serious environmental problem in areas with a high incidence of this type of farming. Swine liquid manure surplus is a highly polluting waste that must be treated in order to avoid its negative effects on the environment.

Plant at Masies de Voltregà.
In operation since 1999.
Plant at Hornillos de Eresma.
In operation since 2001.
   
The problem with pig manure is its content of contaminants, in particular the nitrogen and pathogenic agents which affect the soil, surface waters and the atmosphere.
   

Plant at Sª María de Corcó.
In operation since 2003.

Guascor has combined the energetic efficiency of its gas engines with environmental impact mitigation, by developing its own technology for liquid manure treatment and valorization.

The production process makes full use of the energy, exceeding 90% of primary energy usage, which is used in treating 100,000 m3 of pig manure per year and the plant ( 46,000 pigs for plant).

Technology basics

 
The elimination of effluent reaching the exterior and the minimising of all types of emissions is achieved by means of this technology, and in doing so offering a solution to a serious environmental problem.

Process stages

 
Guascor technology for treating pig manure avoids:

· Soil contamination.
· Water contamination.
· Atmospheric contamination.
· Pathogenic agents.
