Project: MLMMI 99-01-34
Objective
1.) Determine the changes in chemistry of pit storage due to recycling of treated effluent.
2.) Estimate the cost and storage requirements for storing treated sludge.
3.) Determine the impact of optimization of the treatment process on the technology cost and sludge characteristics.
4.) Conduct a detailed cost analysis of the technology and determine the net cost to the producer.

Summary
This project is a sequel to an odour-control technology developed by System Ecotechnologies Inc. (SEI) funded by the Manitoba Intensive Livestock Manure Management Initiative (MLMMI). It consists of a two-stage chemical treatment process which results in a significant settling of solids and elimination of odours from the untreated hog manure. The primary objective of this project was to determine the economic feasibility of application of SEI technology under various operating conditions.
