Benefits of Livestock Water Recycling
Reduce Operating Costs
The LWR Manure Treatment System will save you approximately 1 cent per gallon of your produced manure. Currently the cost of handling and transporting manure ranges from 0.9 to 1.5 cents per gallon. The LWR System eliminates this expense and has operational costs of approximately 0.25 - 0.40 cents per gallon* of manure. The following table shows the savings for a variety of manure situations:
| Manure Produced Per Year (Gallons) | Estimated Cost For Current Manure Handling | Estimated Costs Associated With a LWR System | Total Estimated Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4,000,000 | $50,000 | $12,000 | $38,000 |
| 6,000,000 | $72,000 | $14,400 | $57,600 |
| 10,000,000 | $100,000 | $24,000 | $76,000 |
| 20,000,000 | $180,000 | $48,000 | $132,000 |
Generate Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer
The ammonia fertilizer solution produced by the LWR system creates an economic benefit of 1.0 cent per gallon of your produced manure. This material can be used on your land base or sold to local users.
With a LWR system 10% to 15% of the manure is concentrated as a liquid. This liquid ammonium nitrate fertilizer is highly concentrated making it more efficient to apply to your own lands. Additionally, because it is concentrated, the fertilizer from the LWR system is economical for transport and sale. Our estimates have been calculated assuming a price of $0.50/lb of nitrogen and transportation provided by the buyer.
| Manure Produced Per Year (Gallons) | Nitrogen Fertilizer Produced Per Year (Pounds) | Estimated Market Value of Fertilizer |
|---|---|---|
| 4,000,000 | 100,000 | $50,000 |
| 6,000,000 | 150,000 | $75,000 |
| 10,000,000 | 250,000 | $125,000 |
| 20,000,000 | 500,000 | $250,000 |
