Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for treating animal manure. More specifically, the present invention is concerned with methods and apparatus for treating animal manure comprising a mechanical and/or hydraulic solid-liquid separation step or units, respectively.
- swine breeding is conducted in three stages, each taking place in a separate area. 1) piglets are first in the pig breeding shed where they stay with their mothers for about 14 days after their birth; 2) the piglets are then transferred to pig nursery pen; and 3) they are then transferred to the feeder bam for the last phase of breeding before slaughter. These three stages each require specific feed and produce specific manure. A pig produces an average of 7,6L of manure per day which amounts in Canada only to about 30 millions m 3 produced annually. Many problems are associated with manure production. A fraction of the manure produced may be used in land spreading for agricultural purposes but the soil's phosphorus saturation level is quickly reached and the surplus then trickles to surrounding surface waterways and underground water reserves.
- Manure Air pollution results from odors produced by anaerobic fermentation in manure pits.
- Manure have average contents of 19.8 g/L BOD 5 , 52.4 g/L COD, 6.1 g/L total nitrogen and 1.9 g/L total phosphorus (P t ) (MAPAQ, 1986).
- the manure may also contain heavy metals such as copper and zinc that are present in the pig feed which therefore also end-up in the environment.
- Various methods have been devised for manure disposal or transformation.
- Grise (2000) describes in USP 6,033,570 a method comprising using a screw press to separate the solids of the manure after an addition of cellulose (vegetal) based product, followed by a treatment of the yielded liquid on biological filters.
- SLS Technologies uses a method based on centrifugation (FPPQ, 2001).
- Miknevich and Hassick, 1998 describe in USP 5,776,350 a method comprising, after an addition of polyacrilamides, filtering the manure in a mechanical separator having screens.
- the Solution BiofertileTM process uses a screen and a screw press as a first step of a more complex process comprising further treating the liquid so produced (FPPQ, 2001).
- Marr (1968) describes a mesophilic aerobic treatment of the liquid fraction of the manure wherein temperatures of 7 to 37°C are easily maintained by the microbiological activity. A further sanitization with composting or limestone treatment may be required since operating temperatures may not always be sufficiently high to eliminate pathogens (Degremont, 1989; EPA, 1979).
- Vallee et al. (1989) describes a method performed in St-Elzear in the province of Quebec comprising a first step of screening the solid fraction, followed by an anaerobic treatment of the liquid fraction in bioreactors, and a final polishing of the liquid fraction in aeration lagoons. The resulting water is used for irrigation of plots cultivated in forage corn.
- the recovered solid fraction amounts to about 25% of the raw manure and reduced the COD by 61%, the total solids by 83% and the total phosphorus (P t ) by 87%.
- the mesophilic aerobic treatment of the liquid in bioreactors required a minimum hydraulic retention time (HRT) of ten days achieving thereby a decrease of 84% of the COD, of 64% of the NH 4) and of 56% of the P t as compared to that existing in the bioreactor feed.
- the final lagooning is particularly efficient for the reduction of COD 5 and the reduction of suspended solids (SS) which are of 97% and 88%, respectively, as compared to the concentration in the bioreactor effluent.
- Kolber (2001) describes in USP 6,190,566 a method comprising a nitrification-denitrification treatment followed by a solid-liquid separation and a drying step of solids on drying beds.
- Teran et al. (2000) describes in USP 6,039,874 an aerobic method operated in lagoons after a first solid separation.
- Envirograin's Solution BiofertileTM first screens the manure and then treats the liquid portion aerobically and cold dries the separated solids in a centralized plant. This method would cost about 5 to $10CAD/m 3 (FPPQ, 2001).
- CRIQ's Biosor LisierTM method comprises decanting of the manure with concomitant sludges drawing, sand filtrating the supernatant, aerobic biofiltrating the filtered supernatant on an organic substrate (peat, compost, chips and barks), polishing the first biofilter's effluent on mixed substrate and optionally, anaerobic digesting the decanted sludges.
- the Biosor LisierTM method would cost about $10CAD to $15CAD/m 3 (FPPQ, 2001).
- Marr (1968) describes a method comprising biological aerobic thermophilic treatment ensured by microorganisms requiring a temperature of 55°C. This method ensures an increased oxidation of organic matter, a reduction in oxygen need and an increased stability of the system against chocks (Matsch and Drnevich, 1977). Under optimal conditions, two to three days of residence in the reactor are sufficient to oxidize organic matter (IAF, 1985; Bisaillon ef al., 1984).
- Shooner and Samson describe a raw manure treatment performed in a reactor having thermophilic autothermal conditions. After strong aeration for a residence time varying between 5 to 15 days, a substantial reduction of COD, of BOD and of pathogenic microorganisms and an odors removal was achieved.
- Anaerobic treatment based methods seek to degrade organic matter in the absence of oxygen so as to promote gas (methane) formation which may then serve as an energy source for the farm.
- Bioscan's BiorekTM technology FPPQ, 2001
- the German corporation Schwarting Process Gmbh apply this method (Schwarting, 2002).
- McElvaney (2001) also described such a method in USP 6,254,775.
- This solid phase fermentation process involves microorganism growth in a solid phase acting as substrate or support in the absence of water flow.
- Composting produces a significant release of heat and the temperature evolution follows three phases: a mesophilic phase (30-40°C), a thermophilic phase with temperatures that may reach 70°C and a cooling and maturation phase wherein the compost decreases to surrounding temperature.
- Temperatures of 60-65°C are desirably maintained to achieve hygienization (i.e. microorganism destruction along with an active humidification without compost cooking (Mustin, 1987)).
- BNQ norms recommends a maximum of 25).
- Compost produces an odorless humus having a good fertilizing value: $1.11CAD/kg for nitrogen, $0.53CAD/kg for K 2 0, $0.95CAD/kg for P 2 0 5 .
- the volume reduction achieved by composting facilitates its exportation and spreading which would have been more difficult with raw manure (Texier, 1996; Menart, 1996).
- Texier (1996) describes composting methods performed in centralized units or on the farm.
- a starch based binding agent (ProlisTM) is mixed with manure so as to increase its adhesion to straw.
- Composting at the farm with this method costs about $17CAD/m 3 . About 41% of this cost appears to be attributable to the starch based agent's cost.
- Bilstad et al. (1992) describes a reverse osmosis process recovering
- Cloutier (1996) describes a method in which manure adsorbed on polymer pellets recovered from oil refineries is transformed in fertilizers and humus with equipment from Hydro-Quebec and BN Metal.
- Legros (1998) describes a method of treating manure comprising drying it in a centralized plant. The fertilizer so produced would be rich in nitrates and phosphates, easy to transport, to spread and odorless. The application of this method by the Atrium corporation necessitates a 18 millions expenditure for the construction of a centralized plant.
- This latter method is used for polishing effluents in more than 35 countries having tropical, semi-dry, hot-dry climates (Mandi et al., 1996), and Mediterranean, tempered and sub-polar climates (250 facilities in northern countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway). Such facilities have been used for 25 years in Germany and remain very efficient. This method works throughout the year including during the winter and MENVIQ described its effectiveness in treating wastewater (Bordeleau, 1993).
- Flotation has been used in a number of methods for treating wastewater.
- Jackson (1978) describes in USP 4,069,149 a wastewater treatment comprising separating solids from the bulk of the liquid by a gaseous flotation process, using the dissolved gas in the liquid as the source of gaseous bubbles for flotation purposes.
- Chudacek et al. (1997) describes in USP 5,660,718 a method for removing solid particles from liquids involving flotation with jet injecting air.
- Ramirez and Johnson (1980) describe in CA 1 ,091,830 and Coyne (1996) describe in US 5,540,836 flotation methods involving external source of air.
- Manure treatment by the method of the present invention is advantageously simple and inexpensive comparatively to methods of the prior art.
- Estimated costs for the present method are around $6CAD/m 3 for a farm of 2000-head swine producing 4000 m 3 of manure annually. Its operating costs may be greatly reduced and even eliminated by commercializing solids yielded during the treatment (natural fertilizer, etc.).
- the equipment used to work the present invention are simple to operate and their maintenance requirements are minimal, making the method of the present invention particularly advantageous for small and medium size piggeries. Once the equipment is installed, it may be operated by the farm staff itself. Technical support may be necessary in case of difficulties.

- gases CO 2 , H 2 S, NH , etc.
- a specific embodiment of the present invention comprises three principal steps that may easily be operated in batch, semi-continuous or continuous mode: 1) a first rapid decantation enabling a separation of easily settleable solids (hair, used mash bark, etc.); 2) a biological passive flotation of the manure with simultaneous decantation of the solids conducted with a prior addition of organic polymer (flocculating and/or coagulating agent); 3) a second passive biological flotation with simultaneous decantation in the same tank with a prior addition of organic polymer (flocculating agent).
- the manure is directed from the temporary manure storage (1) to the first decantation tank (2). They are then settled without polymers (although polymers may be added) and for a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 0.25 to 2 hours enabling a removal of easily settleable solids. These solids are then extracted from the bottom of the first decantation tank (2) and directed towards the solid reservoir (3).
- the initial content of total solids in the manure is preferably between 5 and 70g/L.
- An appropriate amount as determined by prior optimization tests of polymers (flocculents) (4) is added to the effluent liquid (5) of the first decantation tank (2) before it is introduced, by gravity or pumping for instance, in a main flotation unit (6) characterized by a HRT of between about 4 and about 24 hours.
- the manure produces gazes (CO 2 , H 2 S, NH 3 , etc.) in amounts sufficient to enable the floes to rise to the surface.
- Mechanical skimming means (7) then skim away the floating solids (8) and directs them to a recovery cone (9).
- the liquid (13) coming out of the main flotation unit (6), by pumping or gravity for instance, is directed to a secondary flotation unit (14) having a HRT preferably between about 0.5 and 4h.
- a polymer (flocculent) may then be added if desirable as may be determined by routine experimentation (not shown) in the intake port (not shown) of the secondary flotation unit also equipped with skimming means (17).
- the solids recovered by these skimming means are then preferably directed to the same solid reservoir (3) as the solids so recovered in the two first phases.
- Suspended solids (SS), COD and total phosphorus (P t ) removals of between 70% and 90% are generally obtained in methods according to an embodiment of the present invention comprising the three above-described phases.
- the system effluent (18) presents a ratio NH 4 /P t > 7, making possible its use as irrigation water in soils saturated in phosphorus.
- This effluent (18) can advantageously be stored in manure pit (19) so as to be usable as irrigation water.
- This effluent (18) is also much less odorant than raw manure (1) and can be land spread using conventional land spreading equipment.
- the mixture of solids yielded after each phase possesses a dry solid content of about 7 to 17%, with an average value of 10 to 12%.
- These solids may be stored in an appropriate tank (3) and be used for composting on the farm or transported to a composting unit in a vacuum truck. Finally, these solids may also be mixed with cellulosic matters (e.g. wood chips and sawdust) and be used for direct land spreading.
- cellulosic matters e.g. wood chips and sawdust
- the manure was screened to 3mm in a flotation unit of 23L.
- the manure flow rate was set at 50mlJmin while the Percol 7557TM polymer solution (1 g/L) flow rate was set at 10mL/min, namely 16.7% (v/v) of the total volume, to obtain a HRT of 6.4 hours.
- Removal yields are presented in Table 3 below.
- a reduction of SS of 95.4%, of P t of 77.3% and of COD of 68.5% were achieved and the ratio N- NH 4 /P t reached 10 thereby satisfying the targeted performance criteria.
- the manure was first settled (1hour) and then screened to 3mm to remove the coarse matters.
- the manure flow rate was of 397mL/min while the LPM 9511 TM polymer solution (1 g/L) flow rate was set at 80mL/min, namely 16.7% (v/v) of the total volume to obtain a HRT of 11 hours. Removal yields are presented in Table 4 below. A reduction of SS of 95.4%, of P t of 85.9% were achieved and the N- NH 4 /P t ratio reached more than 14 thereby satisfying the performance criteria targeted.
- the manure was first settled (1 hour) and then screened to 3mm to remove the coarse matters.
- the manure flow rate was of 397mL/min while the LPM 9511 TM polymer solution (1 g/L) flow rate was set at 80mL/min to obtain a HRT of 11 hours.
- Removal yields are presented in Table 5 below. A reduction of SS of 84.8%, and of P t of 31.5% were achieved. The gain on the N-NH /P t ratio was relatively small. This is explained by the nature of the manure yielded in the farrowing unit as compared to that yielded in the pig nursery. The latter has a high ammonia content as compared to its phosphorus content.
- the manure was first settled (1 hour) and then screened to 3mm to remove the coarse matters.
- the method was conducted with feeder pig manure for a continuous HRT of 11 hours.
- the manure flow rate was of 397mL/min while the LPM 9511 TM polymer solution (1 g/L) flow rate was set at 80mL/min to obtain a HRT of 11 hours.
- Removal yields are presented in Table 6 below.
- a reduction of SS of 96.5%, and of P t of 57% were achieved.
- the performance criteria for the N-NH /P ratio is not reached, the effluent yielded by this treatment is even better for irrigation purposes than those yielded in previous examples because of its lower SS. It is submitted that this result is due to the very low solid content of the manure and its low NH 4 + content (450mg/L), comparatively to the ranges (1800-3600mg/L) of the manure used in the other examples.
- the manure flow rate was set to 794mUmin, while the LPM 9511 TM polymer solution (1 g/L) flow rate was set at 160mlJmin to obtain a HRT of 5.5 hours.
- the flotation unit effluent was settled for 30 minutes with an additional quantity of polymer (1g/L) amounting to about 16.7% of the volume of the combined polymer and effluent. Removal yields are presented in Table 7 below.
- the N-NH P t ratio reached was of 20.7 and the SS removal reached 95.5%.
- the manure was first decanted (1hr) then screened to 3 mm, treated in a first flotation unit, and a second flotation unit.
- the manure flow rate was 550 mL/min while the LPM 9511TM polymer solution (1 g/L) flow rate was set at 110 mL/min to obtain a HRT of 8 hours.
- 200mL/min of solids is drawn from the bottom of main flotation unit resulting in an effluent flow rate of 466mUmin. This 466mUmin is mixed with an amount of 66 mUmin of the LPM 9511 TM polymer before it entered the secondary flotation unit. Removal yields are presented in Table 8 below.
- This variability may be function of the following parameters: the settled solids during the first decantation for the separation in the 315L flotation unit had a lower content in nitrogen and phosphorus because they are constituted in large part of cereal peels and of hair, in a lesser proportion; the dryness of the first decantation's solids is much higher; the proportion of the solid fraction yielded by the treatment as compared to the total treated manure volume is of 26.7%, 19.6%, 12.4%, 36.2% and of 42.9% for Examples 4 to 8, respectively. Although using HRTs of 5.5 and 8 produces satisfactory results, tests performed with an HRT of 11 hours produced optimal results. The dryness of the separated and recomposed solids produced in the Examples presented herein varied between 7 and 17%.
