[RWG Contracts]

Cheap or dear? Was about to tag you having just finished that one.

I think it’s cheap

where from think wed better get there arms up there backs around here! on around £80!!!

Much do u charge for shuttering a square metre

Got wrong man to build my lagoon!

 

[dannewhouse]

would it not work out cheaper doing something like this instead of a solid wall? also are the solid walls in this pre cast? they look it?

 

[dannewhouse]

 

[concrete agri]

Aye it would but we need it cary slats and rsj's coming down

 

[dannewhouse]

tube instead of rsj supports but same idea?
I assume they go to the floor with concrete just cast around them?

 

[MickMoor]

I notice the cellar with round posts has an Aeromixer fitted, akternately, if you want to stir by circulating with a pump, a slalom system with solid walls, like the first example is needed. You makes your choice, then pays the money.

Would an aero mixer in a million gallon tower replace a big stirrer or is the stirrer still needed?

the trouble with a aero mixing system it makes a lot of foam when the tank start to get down but if there is a side stirrer it helps do away with it.

I know of a few over here with aero mixers in above ground stores, seems to work fine, but if a thick hard crust had formed I think you would still need a stirrer.

I’m willing to put anything in that avoids the 20k over the top stirrer. It is for digestate as well so don’t know if that’s any different than slurry to mix up

Lot to be said for something you can take out & fix in the workshop. Gets complex if the fault is under 8foot of slurry

Can aero mixers go wrong though? Doesn’t seem to be anything to go wrong that’s in the slurry? Just compressor to maintain I guess?

Nothing to go wrong, it's plastic pipe with holes in, the compressor is safe and sound outside and runs on off-peak juice. Don't see why it would not work with digestate. Much less smell, far less dangerous gases and easy to repair once the store is emptied.

Nothing to go wrong,

Thats the kiss of death

The problem with seeking advice for something like this is that everybody relates their own experiences. For example, one farmer might have frothy slurry when mixed with an aeromixer, another might find it doesn't even work very well. Digestate actually responds well to an Aeromixer, in fact a million gallon tower of digestate will probably be best mixed in this way. No mechanical stirrer is going to reach the centre of a 104' diameter tank. An aeromixer will, however increase odour while mixing, as you are turning an anaerobic product into an aerobic product. It will smell less when spread than mechanically mixed, however.
