The LWR Manure Treatment System
[edit]The LWR Manure Treatment System uses mechanical and chemical processes to separate nutrients from manure in dairy or hog CAFO operations.[2] The system produces dry solids, a liquid nutrient concentrate and clean potable water. Manure is rich in phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium, and ammonia. These nutrients can be used as fertilizer to improve crop production.
LWR currently has systems operating in Indiana, New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
