146 Holstein cows in 350 ft main barn with 146 tie stalls

The
Challenge/Problem 

Manure from cows was creating high H2S levels in the manure collection room and the liquid storage tank building at the University of Alberta Dairy Research and Technology Centre.

  • Elevated H2S concentrations were causing staff and worker odor complaints
  • Liquid manure in storage tanks was creating excessive foaming when pumped into tanks
  • Increased pump-out frequency required to avoid foam overflowing from tanks was causing increased hauler costs

SciCorp Treatment Plan and Execution

DRTC was interested in conducting a trial using BIOLOGIC™ SR2 to determine if it could eliminate the H2S odors and excessive foaming in the storage tanks. SciCorp Engineers worked with DRTC operators to implement a treatment approach.

  • BIOLOGIC™ SR2 was added to the 300 gallon liquid manure collection tank at a dosage rate of 1L, twice per day, during the collection of the manure liquid from the barn floors.
  • Liquid from the 300 gallon collection tank was then pumped into the separate storage building and stored in the 4 x 9000 gallon storage tanks.

Success

The treatment program evaluated the data before and after the use of BIOLOGIC™ SR2 over a period of 124 days. Results showed a significant improvement in indoor air H2S concentrations and also in the number of pump-outs required for the 9000 gallon tanks.

Significantly reduced H2S levels in the manure collection room and liquid manure storage tanks from an average of 20 ppm to 0 ppm.

Achieved monthly cost savings due to reduced pump-outs ($1,178/Month)

Eliminated odor complaints from staff

Reduced storage tank pump-out frequency by 50%

Eliminated foaming in the storage tanks

Problems Avoided

As a result of their partnership with SciCorp DRTC was able to avoid:

  • Odor complaints /health issues with workers
  • Elevated operating costs
