Manure: a valuable and essential product Meet the nitrogen cracker and the separators

From organic manure to chemical fertiliser JOZ has been developing solutions for moving manure for over 75 years. With circular farming, we’re taking this a step further. We’re going deeper into the chain, using our solutions to convert manure into a valuable product. Manure contains valuable minerals that are essential for agricultural businesses. With circular farming, we’re helping transform organic manure into chemical fertiliser. Our efforts in this respect are making it feasible and workable for you to comply with the rules applicable to farmers. Manure is a valuable product. It...

Source: Agrio Separate manure using our Separator To make chemical fertiliser from How does the separator work? organic manures, the manure must In the circular farming concept, the separator is first be separated. A JOZ separator the first phase in transforming manure into a chemical fertiliser. Separating slurry results in quickly and easily separates the 2 types of manure: a thick fraction and a thin manure stored in the manure pit fraction. The thick fraction contains a high or another manure storage space. percentage of phosphates, and can be used as

2 types of separators JOZ separators are suitable for separating cattle, pig and poultry manure. 2 types are available: Bronto (suitable for biobedding) Dino (suitable for stackable manure) Both separators are available separately or in combination with the nitrogen cracker. JOZ separators feature modular cast-iron housings. The manure separator is easy to operate and maintain thanks to the remo vable double filter housing with quick-action connector and the inspection openings in the inlet and filter housing. A unique feature of these separators is the end bearing fitted on the screw...

The Bronto separator is especially suitable for farms that want to use the solid fraction as biobedding. The Bronto can achieve a dry matter percentage of 30 to 40%, which makes the thick fraction ideal for use as bedding. Note: it is important to prevent fermentation. pumped to the Gazoo, where the next stage Spreading the fresh thick fraction in layers of the transformation process takes place. prevents fermentation. If the manure cracker is not used, the thin fraction is returned to the manure pit, or sto- If the Bronto is combined with the JOZ red in another manure storage space before...

(suitable for stackable manure) The Dino separator separates slurry into a thin fraction and a thick fraction. The Dino doesn’t achieve such a high dry matter content as the Bronto, so the thick fraction can’t be used as biobedding. The stackable manure created is very rich in The thin fraction is returned to the manure pit s pho phates, so this product is ideal for spreading or spread on the land via another storage place. over the land as solid manure. Does your farm Since it’s a liquid, this thin fraction is easier to actually have a manure surplus? The Dino can spread. There’s less...

Reduce nitrogen with the Nitrogen cracker The Gazoo nitrogen cracker is a circular Thin fraction manure processing solution. As an added bonus, it doesn’t just reduce nitrogen, but methane too! Nitrogen cracker How does the nitrogen cracker work? The Gazoo nitrogen cracker reduces nitrogen in a 2-stage process. First, the ammonia is extracted from the thin fraction through evaporation and the application of a base or heat. Evaporation creates two products: ammonia and residual water. Residual water Ammonia (gaseous)

Ammonia In the second stage of the treatment, the ammonia gas released during evaporation is collected in the nitrogen cracker and processed. Ammonia is an important semi-finished product for the chemical fertiliser industry. Nitric acid is added to the ammonia to produce nitro-limestone, a liquid chemical fertiliser, Biogrow. Nitrogen cracker Residual water Residual water can be spread over the land or pumped back to the barn. If it is pumped back to the barn, it should be sprayed over the slats to clean the stained surfaces. Biogrow Spraying residual water over the slats reduces ammonia...

Methane reduction After CO2, methane is considered the main culprit among greenhouse gases. The effect of methane as a greenhouse gas is 23 times that of CO2. Methane emissions can be reduced by converting the gas to CO2 with the help of the Gazoo. Methane is created in the organic part of slurry and manure. Residual water is created by separating the manure and busting the nitrogen. The amount of organic manure in the pit is reduced by pumping the residual water back and spraying it over the floor surface. This reduces methane emissions in the barn. The capacity of the Gazoo nitrogen...

Nitrogen cracker Nitrogen cracker with methan reduction Advantages of the Gazoo nitrogen cracker Less ammonia Converts organic nitrogen into inorganic nitrogen Better and faster absorption of the nitrogen in liquid form Save expenditure on chemical fertiliser Approx. 20% more space in the manure pit M ore nitrogen space, no shrinkage It is cheaper to sell manure in the event of a manure surplus Calculation example A cow produces 120 kg of nitrogen per year: 60 kg of this is in organic manure (does not evaporate and does not wash out) 60 kg is in ammonium (liquid ammonia) The Gazoo nitrogen...
