WASTEMASTER
MicroTreat "D"
PROBLEMS:
Crust build-up
A floating mat of fibrous material from undigested feeds and bedding materials.
* Decreases the ability to properly agitate the stored manure
* Narrows the window of opportunity to apply the waste on the field if unable to completely empty
Solids
Sludge build-up due to inefficient microbial decomposition of solids
* Increases pumping frequency
* Decreases lagoon or pit capacity
* Increases wear and tear on pumping equipment
Fertilizer Loss
Up to 30% of nitrogen can be lost during the storage of manure.
* Supplementing commercial fertilizer to fields due to loss of fertilizer value during storage
Odors
Volatile fatty acids, phenols, sulfides, and mercaptans produced by anaerobic decomposition
* Offensive odors increase risk of nuisance complaints during storage and land application.
SOLUTIONS
Use MicroTreat "D" to:
* Decrease crusting through the use of a special lignin degrading fungi
* Decrease solids through more efficient decomposition
* Retain the nutrient content of the manure
* Reduce odors by increasing facultative decomposition
BENEFITS
Field trials show MicroTreat "D"...
* Decreases agitation time due to the break-down of the fibrous material in the crust
* Reduces viscosity which leads to easier pumping
* Maintains the nutrient value of the manure
* Reduces volatile fatty acids and other offensive odors
