EuroTier 2012: Innovative membrane filtration system for efficient treatment of manure and fermentation residues
MemFis: Manure is converted into water, fertiliser and substrate
The three-stage MemFis filtration process includes solid-liquid separation, ultra-filtration and as a last stage reverse osmosis. Of special importance is the second filter stage which features a special “oscillating” membrane. Thanks to this innovative solution there are no more problems with clogged membranes which have so far been a common problem in existing filtration systems. This results in significantly reduced cleaning requirements, a much improved permeability of the organic ingredients and therefore a stable, long-term operation of the entire system.
Input materials can be pig or cattle manure or fermentation residues. MemFis processes these residues so efficiently that in the end approx. 50% of the input material is converted into distilled-like water which can be discharged into a water reception pond or can be used as part of the drinking water resources for livestock or for cooling or cleaning purposes on the farm. The remaining material can be used or sold as input material replacement in biogas plants or, if the liquid concentration is high enough, also as liquid fertiliser.
