Pumping animal waste
Farmers need highly reliable equipment that can handle all challenges in the most cost effective manner, due to the fact that animal waste may be as a result of a variety of sources such as livestock, dairy production, and poultry, as well as the production of meat processing and fish farming.
This may result in waste in the form of raw untreated mixtures to macerated slurries all with varying characteristics, thus having a substantial effect on the specific product you require as pumping animal waste sludge can be a difficult proposition for many pumps due to its thick and corrosive natue.
Animal waste that is left remaining in a place for a long period of time will begin to decompose and decay, releasing gases like ammonia, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and methane. This can have adverse effects on the health of farmers who work closely to such environments.
