How the Slurry Aeration Management System Works
This relatively simple and low-cost aeration system is designed to maintain stored slurries in a semi-liquid, and hence, pumpable condition, irrespective of the length of the storage period.

The introduction of air into the storage tank has two main effects on the slurry - that of effective mixing caused by the physical action of rising air bubbles, and that of odour reduction by the promotion of aerobic bacteria which digest toxin, fatty acids and amonia, and reduce the biological oxygen demand of the slurry.

This system is relatively simple because it employs only a low energy consumption electric motor and pump, proven electronic solenoid vavles and self-closing neoprene outlet valve. All the piping is 1½ inch class D upvc which neither corrodes nor degrades.

Working on a time switch, the system is fully automatic and would typically run for two one-hour periods each day without any need for human intervention. Furthermore, the running costs have been shown by independant evaluation to be as low as 28 pence per day.

In the event of a tank being neglected, the S.A.M.S installation is perfectly capable of micing heavily crusted slurry.

All woking and electrical pars are mounted in a galvanised frame under a weatherproof removable hood at ground level outside the store. Compressed air is piped up and over the side of the tank and down to the tank floor via a symmetrical pattern of outlet branches. These are 'blown' serveral times in rotation during the operational period.
