Carni Sarde Mamusa Plant in Loc. Perde Cuaddu, Isili municipality, province of Nuoro, Island of Sardinia (Italy):

This is an integral centre for purification and appreciation of pig manure at a farm with 3,000 mothering sows in a closed cycle and daily production of 400 m3 of manure.

Detail of tanks in biological module for reduction of nutrients.

Building housing main phase separation module with 3 ionic transfer reactors and a sludge concentration group for anaerobic digestion.

It takes up a total surface area of 2,000 m2 for the aerobic modules (optimised separation of solids, biological reduction of nutrients, dephosphating and hygienisation via ultrafiltration with BRM) with tertiary use made of water, dumping the surplus into public channels.

There is a treatment line via anaerobic digestion for generating biogas and thermo-electrical production with a capacity of 1.4 Mwe; the solids line occupies a total built-up surface area of 4,200 m2 for composting by means of agitation channels. The total investment comes to 3.7 million Euros and the execution time involved is 22 months, building having been started in February 2001 and planned to be completed in December 2002.

Goshen Ridge Farms Plant in the county of Duplin, North Carolina, United States of America:

This forms part of the Smithfield/Super Soils System Project, and is the first plant in a project of a further seven (7) which are in turn grouped for treating the solids line of a single composting unit located in Hickory Grove Farm, in Clinton, North Carolina. It is the first demonstration project within the agreement between SF, PSF and NC Attorney General (section III B 5, NC).

Detail of dephosphating module for obtaining bagged calcium phosphate.

The manure treatment plant processes a hog barn of 4,780 fattening heads in open cycle, with 125 m3 per day of manure, the liquid being treated by means of optimised separation of solids, biological reduction of nutrients by means of bacteria immobilised in pearls of gel (PINBT), dephosphating-production of calcium phosphate and hygienisation, elimination of pathogens, virus and parasites, using the influent as cleaning and irrigation water, occupying a surface area of 320 m2; the solids line acts as raw material for preparing compost and soils by means of composting in aired piles in a facility which takes up a surface area of 1,000 m2 in Hickory Grove. The total investment came to 1.2 million US dollars, and the execution time was 8 months (January-August 2002).

Earlier on, after an international competition between over 100 companies (November 2000-June 2001) the project was given the 1st award of the AWMC from the NCSU within the agreed framework of SF, PSF and NC Attorney General as "Environmental Superior Technology Demonstration Project".
