1 SEQ-CURE III EOG MEETING 25-26/05/2010

2 ANALYSIS PROCEDURE TO DEFINE A MANAGEMENT STRATEGY PREVIOUS ANALYSIS Definition of system border of the management area Study of the area Geography Livestock Agriculture Spatial Analysis Relation farms land Nutrient balance (kg nutrient /ha/year) Analysis of the problems found, social consensus Alternatives for the management scheme: Pros and cons of each alternative Selection of a management scheme. Individual solution according to specific characteristics of the studied area. Goal: To define a management strategy that is environmentally correct, sustainable and socially acepted.

3 ES-WAMAR ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY MANAGEMENT OF SWINE WASTE BASED ON INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY: A DEMOSTRATION PROJECT SET IN ARAGÓN (SPAIN) Participants: COORDINATOR: CO-FUNDER: PARTNERS:

4 OBJECTIVES Correct management of the slurry from the environment, economic, and social perspective Minimise its impact on the environment in compliance with the IPPC Directive. Increase of the sustainability of the pig farming sector fomenting the rural development. Transfer of the gathered experience to other areas with similar problems Carrying out environmental controls in order to evaluate the proposed objectives.

5 SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISE (SWME) SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISE (SWME): Public or private entity that works as an intermediary between livestock and agricultural farmers. It is in charge of the movement of the slurry from farms to be applied in crops, or to be treated. OBJECTIVE: INTEGRAL management of the slurry in a COLLECTIVE way It depends on the characteristics of the zone. METHODOLOGY: BEST AVAILABLE TECHNIQUES (BAT). environmental, social and economic viability.

6 MANAGEMENT MODEL SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISE TREATMENT

7 ADVANTAGE OF THE COLLECTIVE AND INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT Access to the best technologies (BAT). Cost sharing among farmers (cost reduction). Facilitates the environmental control. Improvement of energy efficiency. Reduction of administrative work load. Common schedule for slurry application. Foster the rural development and its sustainability. Creation of a collective conscience and of a responsible management of pig manure.

12 ZONA VULNERABLE 2008 (ORDEN de 11 de diciembre de 2008) Todas las parcelas de regadío del término municipal Tauste.

13 Pig Slurry Application

14 MAESTRAZGO Registration of approx m3 ( m3 expected) 2 slurry tankers adquired, and working Construction of infrastrcture: 8 slurry tanks (7x1500 m3, 1x1000 m3), 2 pipeline systems LIFE 06 ENV/E/000044

15 Pipeline in Cantavieja: 3 m PVC, 1127 m PEHD From a discharge store to an intermediate store and to apply from several points downhill L= 1215 m (PVC), Z= 108 m L= 1660 m (PVC), Z= 78 m L= 460 m (PVC), Z= 98 m L= 480 m (PEHD), Z= 62 m L= 647 m (PEHD), Z= 98 m

16 Infrastructure building in Maestrazgo

17 SITUATION IN PEÑARROYA DE TASTAVINS Among highest values of Aragón in terms of nitrogen load Kg N/ha Same Situation in surrounding villages PEÑARROYA DE TASTAVINS It is necessary a treatment: Biological Treatment

18 PEÑARROYA DE TASTAVINS Performance requirements of the treatment plant: Total N contents: Reduction of min. 80% Phosphorous: Reduction of min. 70% Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): max ppm Pathogens: E. coli: Reduction min. 1 unit log10 Further Technical Data: Process capacity: m3/a Capacity for storage of final liquid effluent: m3 (30 days of operation). Surface for solid storage: m2. TEDAGUA must manage the solid products. Carbofil technology.

19 PEÑARROYA DE TASTAVINS

20 Slurry Sewer: 4 Farms 3 Tracks 2650 m Pipeline HDPE

21 1st Pipelines Slurry Pipeline Transport: 12 Farms Pipeline Extension

22 ACTIVITIES TO BE CARRIED OUT IN THE INTEGRATED SLURRY MANAGEMENT CONTROL OF THE MANAGEMENT EDUCATION LAND AND LIVESTOCK FARMERS CONTROL ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Reduction of the pollution in its origin Olores Amoniaco >50% Metano NOx Water Soil Slurry Gas emissions 1 EMPRES A DE GESTIÓ N 2 3 TRATA MIENT O

23 Ammonia Volatilisation Measurement 2 different application techniques: Sliding shoe and splashplate 2 different measurement techniques: Wind tunnel and photoacoustic 2 different soils

24 THE NEXT STEPS The presented model can be transferred to other areas within Aragón, and other regions both at national and international level. 3 new plants: biogas + biological treatment combined + Implementation of biogas in Peñarroya

25 MUNICIPALITIES DECLARED VULNERABLE ZONE

26 LIVESTOCK FARMS WITHIN ARAGÓN

27 HIGH CONCENTRATION OF INTENSIVE LIVESTOCK

28 BIOGAS + BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT Capella m3/year Zaidín m3/year Valderrobles m3/year Peñarroya de Tastavins m3/year

29 Combination with biogas technology because of the following reasons: -Treatment plants have a high energy demand, and in consequence, high energy costs. -Electricity production in biogas engines: income through electricity sales. -Controlled production of methane. -Reduction of GHG emission (CO2 instead of CH4). -Further Reduction of GHG emission through co-generation of electricity and head (substitution of non-renewable resources). - Closed cycle concept: digestate valorisation as fertiliser on crop fields and/or as energy source on farms.

30 SCHEME OF A COMBINED PLANT: BIOGAS (CO-DIGESTION) AND TREATMENT CO-SUBSTRATE SLURRY SUPPLY BY PIPELINES FARMS DIGESTATE DIGESTION SEPARATION LIQUIDS/SOLIDS ENERGETIC VALUE COMPOST FERTIRRIGATION BIOGÁS ELECTRICITY SALE HEAT HEAT CO-GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY AND HEAT ELECTRICITY LIQUID PHASE: TREATAMENT PHYS.-CHEM. BIOLOGICAL SOLID PHASE BIOGÁS BIOGAS CLEANING FINAL LIQUID EFLUENT OPTIONS FOR THE THERMAL ENERGY : FREE SALE (not regulated) DIRECT USE IN CLOSE INSTALATIONS

31 OBJECTIVES General Objective: Correct management of the slurry from the environment, economic, and social perspective To valorise the slurry as Organic Fertiliser (Nutrient recycling). To Create a model based on integrated management. To increase the energy effiency. To avoid social rejection Dissemination of the achieved results of the project in seminars, demonstration events, scientific publication and through the website: Transfer of the gathered experience to other areas with similar problems Increase of the sustainability of the pig farming sector fomenting the rural development. Carrying out environmental controls in order to evaluate the proposed objectives.

32 Large scale demonstration project about pig slurry management 3 zones: Tauste, Maestrazgo, Peñarroya Integrated Management Establishing of 3 (non-profit) Swine Waste Management Enterprises (SWME) Creation of jobs Environmentally correct Management of t/year of pig slurry Organic Fertilisation of ha of crop land. PARTICIPATION of: Approx. 300 pig farmers Approx. 350 land farmers 5 pig farmers associations 3 land farmers associations Local Entities (Counties/Municipalities)

33 USE OF BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES Integrated Management plans adjusted to geographic conditions. New Technologies in the use of the by-products from livestock farming as organic fertiliser. Geographic Information communications System (GIS) and Sampling, analysis and control equipment. Pipeline transport ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC OPTIMISATION OF THE WHOLE MANAGEMENT PROCESS.

34 SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT ENTERPRISE (SWME) Homogenising, analysis and collection of the slurry from the farms. Planning: rates, schedules (how, when, where how much) Coordination of banks of slurries and land Application of the slurry on the fields of arable crop land using Best Available Technology. Transport to intermediate storages. Maintainance of infrastructure, equipment Register and control of the slurry movement. Reduction of the contents of nutrients: biologic treatment. Implementation of a biosecurity plan. Organisation of Information seminars for livestock and land farmers. Administrative and business work Responsible of the management scheme towards public institutions ALL TASKS RELATED WITH THE HANDLING OF MANURE
