Slurry Cooling

[Ang Drury]

What's your thoughts on slurry cooling ? Do any of you do it and would you recommend it ?

 

[ridger]

Least of my worries

 

[ridger]

Think @Wellytrack cools his

 

[Gerbert]

My thoughts: why?

 

[ridger]

no I got that mixed up. I'm positive it was @Cowabunga that cools his slurry

Whatever gave you that idea?

Your keen for these kind of ideas usually! I only tagged you in jest

Is 'slurry cooling' a metaphor for something else or am I missing something? Can someone explain please.

I'm interested to know people's opinions about it

It cools as soon as it leaves the cow. It’s really cold in frosty weather.

Just been reading an interesting bit in the pig buildings magazine that came with this months Pig world, never heard of it before but it appears that it could be a very good idea to reduce ammonia emissions and could possibly be fitted into existing slurry stores as was proposed, possibly by an industry source, to be a good idea to install in new stores or tanks under stock.

I don't have any slurry myself but it looked like a good idea to me if I was to do that sort of thing and would possibly help with planning applications for an intensive or large building.

I spread some last night, -4 this morning it’s very cool now , I think that will be the most efficient way of cooling it , mind it was fairy cool to start with burst hose on the pump showerd me and it wasn’t warm.

So no actual proof it works. And who is promoting this?.possibly manufactures of the buildings or equipment

Does not need any more proof than basic chemistry equilibrium position. If you move it from ammonia to ammonium it will stay in the slurry. Note the y axis is a log scale

I thought it would not be long before you posted on this tread ! . How is your slurry acidification project coming along.
Very interested in the idea after reading about it prompted by your posts.

That graph tells me that acidification is more effective.

Have been having problems getting pumps to deal with fibre, should be a new one coming today. I think the acid might alter the fibre consistency, otherwise almost ready to go into action

Indeed, which is why I am pursuing that route. Should increase the N getting into the soil by at least 25%
