West Michigan Dairy Farm Will Be The First To Add The LWR System To Anaerobic Digesters
An innovative system that recycles clean, potable water from livestock manure will be installed at a West Michigan dairy farm. Scenic View Dairy already uses anaerobic digesters to recover power from the livestock manure and now by recapturing all of the water and concentrating all of the nutrients, this farm is setting a new standard in manure management.
- Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Holland, MI (1888PressRelease) October 16, 2014 - One of the first dairies in the state of Michigan to install anaerobic digesters will be the first dairy in the US to add the LWR manure treatment system to their digesters, optimizing their overall manure management plan.
"We are excited about the system at Scenic View Dairy" says LWR President, Ross Thurston. "We have systems operating throughout the US but this is the first that will combine with dairy digesters." He adds "Anaerobic digesters are effective at extracting value from manure in the form of power. By adding the LWR System, Scenic View is taking manure management to the next level by recapturing and reusing every part of this organic waste. It really is the ultimate solution in manure management".
Scenic View Dairy, located near Fennville, produces 40 million pounds of milk each year and operates a tightly run infrastructure of hard working farmers and nearly 2,000 actively milking animals. Scenic View is much more than a dairy farm. They are a progressive, proactive business actively employing best management practices and processes in herd management, waste recycling, land ecology, and technology. They believe that there is a new way of "doing dairy" and that by implementing technology, they are able to deliver high quality, fresh tasting, and wholesome milk quickly and economically.
The anaerobic digesters at Scenic View Dairy convert manure into fertilizer for crops, generate electricity for their dairy operation and excess electric for the local power grid, and reduce the odor of waste processing. By adding the LWR System, Scenic View will completely optimize their manure management plan by capturing all of the power, recovering all of the valuable fertilizer nutrients, and recycling clean, potable water from their manure.
