Manure liquid-solid separation allows farmers to reclaim clarified wastewater and keep their livestock healthy.  Clean water is essential to any farming operation for irrigation, livestock drinking, barn alley flushing, and day-to-day processes.

Recycled Water

Save money and meet regulations by recycling clarified water from raw and liquid manure.  Clarified water can be reused as alley flush water and for land application.

Handleable Material

Separating manure solids from liquid creates a thickened manure slurry that is easier to handle and dewater.  Clearwater’s Polymer Dosing Systems plus, DAF clarifiers, and Thickeners use automation and sensors to create a thick sludge discharge and continuous clarified water.
