Abstract

The trend to more confinement feeding of livestock and poultry has created a need for information about liquid waste disposal systems. This is especially true with the advent of both federal and state animal waste disposal regulations. Systems utilizing deep pit storage and hauling with a tanker wagon work well up to a limit. This limit is defined by the number of trips necessary to remove the manure each year and the number of man-hours available to make those trips. Start planning your irrigation disposal system by determining the size and type of pump required for your liquid waste disposal problems. Many types of pumps are available for liquid waste handling including standard centrifugal pumps, open impeller centrifugal pumps, piston pumps, diaphragm pumps, helical screw pumps, and propeller pumps.
