Abstract
The removal of manure from dairy cattle confinement areas by improved hydraulic flushing techniques was attempted in conjunction with an attempt to treat the resulting manure slurry in an anaerobic lagoon and activated sludge process. Algae cells were allowed to propagate in the activated sludge process effluent in an attempt to then harvest the cells and accomplish nutrient removal as a final polishing step. While manure could be hydraulically moved by high velocity flushing jets, it resulted in a slurry that was too thick to flow by gravity to catch basins within the cattle confinement areas. The anaerobic lagoon-activated sludge process sequence did accomplish overall pollutional strength reductions as high as 90%.
