[QUOTE="The Son, post: 860844, member: 1857"] As on AD plant operator we are not PAS approved as we spread all digestate on our own holding and only use farm based feedstocks, no waste. We have a 400kw plant and have a 2000m3 above ground Storth tank, but everything goes through a seperator so the tank is fairly liquid, we store the solid in the silage pits as they empty and spread as needed, we are not in an NVZ so no restrictions there, but do have to be sensible. In an ideal world 2000m3 is not hardly big enough, and what I would like to do is put another tank on off lying land so we can transport or pump over to that as required, and then spread as needed. We spread on grass and stubbles, using umbilical and tankers, after our fist year it was obvious that we were loosing a serious amount of nutrient value through the splash plate, so all will go through a dribble bar or trailing shoe this year. Depending on your set up and finances I would but a 2000-3000m3 on site, and then look at off site storage at a later stage, the digestate is too good a product to waste.
