| Slurry high level of automation , reducing the need for manpower to a minimum . Efficient use of the final products – half of which consist of drainage water , a quarter of useful solid matter and a quarter of valuable nutrient concentrate – increases the overall efficiency of the Kumac treatment system .
The resulting liquid fertiliser is rich in nitrogen and merely accounts for one quarter of the original volume
Kumac has already been successfully used at agricultural plants and large biogas plants in Belgium and the Netherlands for almost ten years . Apart from the high degree of treatment , operators are pleased with the reliable , low-maintenance technology and the low energy consumption . “ Another reason for the positive feedback is that meanwhile , we have further developed the procedure in accordance with operator requirements “, explains Jens Albartus , Director of WELTEC . The system ‘ s good reputation is backed by the investigation results of two renowned institutions : Both the Dutch Wageningen University and the German Chamber of Agriculture of Lower Saxony confirm the high functionality and excellent mass balance of the Kumac treatment system .
