Industrial Process

Dairy waste, or manure, is commonly managed through three systems in the US: solid, slurry, and lagoon. The solid system handles manure that is 75-80% moisture through scraping and loading into storage. The slurry system manages 90-96% moisture manure in tanks. The lagoon system uses flushing to collect and store highly diluted manure that can be pumped for irrigation. All aim to minimize waste and odors while providing sufficient storage.

INDUSTRIAL PROCESS

DAIRY WASTE MANAGEMENT


What is dairy?
• A facility for the extracting and processing
animal milk such as cow and goats.
• Important because the supply of milk is a
commercial industry
What do dairy produce?
• Dairy produce different kind of products for
our daily needs.
• The product produced from the dairy such
as yogurt, cheese, butter, milk powder and
skimmed milk.
• Dairy also produce beef meat when the
cow is no longer productive.
But… How do they manage the
waste from the dairy??
• The waste from the dairy is known as
manure. This manure is the cow’s
droppings. Usually this droppings is about
4 pounds of dry straw per cow per day.
• The dairy in United States of America
commonly use three types of system to
manage the dairy waste. There are:
1. Solid waste system
2. Slurry waste system
3. Lagoon waste system
Solid Waste System
• Manures 75 to 80 percent of moisture
content.
• The manure must be in solid form before it
can be handled.
• To be handled as solid, the manure must
have the liquid off or the bedding is added
to the manure.
• In this system, there are another three
system that are used. There are: scraping,
loaders and manure storage
• Scraping is use to scrape semisolid
manure into a holding area where the
liquids are allowed to drain off.
• Usually small tractors is used in scraping
the semisolid manure.
• At the loaders, the manure is remove by
using tractor. The tractor can remove
manure from large areas with high
clearances. This functions better and more
dependable plus, lessen time and labor
expended.
• Manure storage is used to store manure
because it has most handling systems that
is weather.
• A minimum of 60 day storage is
recommended and the area should have
all-weather access with surface runoff
water is diverted from the storage area.
• The draining liquid is then directed to a
soil-plant filter, lagoon or holding pond. A
roof, can eliminate the need for collecting
and storing runoff from the storage area.
Slurry Waste System
• Manure with 90 to 96 percent moisture
content can usually be handled as fluid but
may require special pump.
• This system is designed to minimize
dilution because it uses tank wagons for
transportation and applications.
• Slurry can be stored in earthen basins,
below-ground and above-ground concrete
tanks and unlined metal tanks. Designed
for a 120-minimum day of storage
capacity.
Lagoon Waste System
• Handle highly diluted manure that can be
pump through the irrigation systems.
• Flushing is the preferred method of
manure collecting and transportation.
• It is complement because of its storage
low cost and do not cause unacceptable
odor problems.
• It is designed for a 365-day storage
capacity with all the manure going into the
lagoon
Conclusions
• Apart from the waste management system
mentioned, there is also other system that
is used by the dairy, but the most
commonly used systems is the one that
have been mentioned.
