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.
