Trident - Manure Treatment - Water & Nutrient Recovery

Modern dairy farmers see an opportunity to change the way manure is managed and implement advanced technologies that utilize manure as a feedstock and convert its various valuable components into re-usable and easy to manage co-products.

A manure management process that improves several aspects of a dairy farm

The Trident Nutrient Recovery System is an award winning manure management process that recovers three main components from manure:

• It recycles large volumes of clarified water. The water is reused on the farm as flush water or for land application. Is the water sent to a lagoon it drastically improves the lagoon management due to a high reduction of suspended solids in the liquid.
• The concentrated nutrients are available in an easy to manage high-solids format. The large volume reduction results in reduced hauling cost. Four out of five truck loads can be eliminated. The nutrient solids can also be used as valuable feedstock for commercial fertilizer production.
• The recovered fiber are available for reuse as bedding material, soil health amendment or as feedstock for other applications.

The range of benefits for the dairy is broad: i.e. Significant volume reduction helps reduce transportation costs; only a fraction of the solids is sent to the lagoon requiring fewer lagoon clean-outs; clarified water can be land applied through efficient low-pressure irrigation systems; farmers can increase their herd size without having to expand their land base.
