Effluent Storage

Effluent Storage with GCL Membrane

In this ever intensifying country, effluent and how we manage it is becoming a very contentious issue for most New Zealand dairy farmers.

There are multiple systems available for primary treatment ranging from the traditional two pond system, weeping walls and screw press separators. Each application has its own attributes and suitability for each system ranges from farm to farm.

Storing effluent, raw or treated provides flexibility during busy times such as calving and prevents the burden of applying effluent when the soil profile cannot absorb it resulting in nitrates being leached into underlying aquifers. Overall the effluent system and relative storage ponds need to be designed and installed correctly, Sustainable Water have a wealth of knowledge in this area.
