Poch contributes to the operation sustainability of pig farms applying cutting edge technology in the agro-industrial residue treatment.
Description of the Project:
The bidding and evaluation for this project was executed in 2004 and applied cutting edge technology available at that time. The Project allows treating the manure generated by approximately 130.000 breeding pig, previously digested in an anaerobic bio-digester.
The functioning treatment plant includes thick solids physical separation system and a system of flotation by air dissolved for solids in suspension, to remove organic matter it has a system of muds activated through an anoxic and aerobic lagoon working with superficial ventilation.
The biological muds generated are separated through a dissolved air flotation system, the obtained effluent liquid fulfills with the environmental commitments of Agrícola Super Ltda and the generated solids are dehydrated and disposed in composting fields to be eventually used as fertilizer in fields.
Our importance:
The tasks done by Poch have consisted in the project administration, bidding, equipment buying negotiation and management, automation of the process, support during the start-up and operation. Poch has also been in contact with the technology supplier, advising and collaborating in the organization and coordination of monitoring, follow-up and analysis of results.
In relation to the control and optimization of the facilities operation, analysis of the treatment plant affluent, determination, characterization and follow-up of manure generation have been carried out, also the implementation of operation registries, evaluation of chemicals consumption and associated operational cost.
Essential benefit:
The development of this project has allowed Agrícola Super to continue growing and to go beyond the fulfillment of the actual environmental legislation, giving its processes security and consistency to its activity.
