Abstract:
A helically flighted rotating tube for concentrating dairy and
swine manure solids was developed and evaluated. The solids removal
and concentration factor values were measured with beet pulp,
dairy manure arid swine manure slurries at different influent flow
rates and suspended solids concentrations. A method of estimating
the performance of the device based on turbulence inside the separator
was developed and evaluated. Comments on the usefulness of the
device as a livestock manure solid-liquid separator and possible
alternate uses were made.
