Anaerobic digesters for organic waste solutions for livestock producers sector - Agriculture - Livestock
Whether poultry, swine or cattle, our digesters handle manure and litter, while delivering additional benefits for your animals and crops. A constant supply of waste is a certainty on any livestock or poultry operation. The modern DVO digester out-performs older designs such as the European “round-tank”/CSTR digesters as well as covered-lagoons, while providing a host of economic and environmental benefits for dairies, feedlots, swine and poultry facilities. On dairy alone, DVO processes the manure from over 400,000 dairy cattle. It is the North American market leader for anaerobic digestion and environmental engineering, delivering proven solutions and services to agriculture for more than 30 years.
We live here
DVO’s roots are in rural America, and we’re surrounded by animal agriculture. We got our start on dairies and know how to best integrate with them. Today we also process manure from more North American cows than any other company.
Staying power
Over three decades, we’ve worked with more than 100 different operations involved in animal agriculture. As a result, we’ve built a wealth of knowledge that can be invaluable in creating a solution that delivers on your goals.
A green future
DVO helps you reach sustainability and environmental stewardship goals in a dependable and profitable way. You’ll be a better neighbor, and your animals and crops will prosper from the digester and its byproducts.
You`re in the driver`s seat
It’s a seller’s market for animal and bird waste. Investors are actively seeking new commercial operations for biogas projects. When you’re approached, demand a DVO solution to get the most value from the deal.
- Highest ROI – Increased biogas production per ton means more dollars for producers who share in biogas production.
- High-quality bedding – Doesn’t need to be composted like competing digesters.
- Irrigate to a growing crop – Liquid fertilizers can be irrigated without damaging crops.
- Easy to operate and maintain – Designed to be operated by the owner/farmer, are simple to maintain and, above all, are optimized for reliability.
- Carbon footprint – Improved digestion also means greatly reduced harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
- Digestion for poultry litter – DVO has resolved issues surrounding poultry litter digestion.
- Pathogen destruction – Harmful aerobic bacteria that cause farmers problems are destroyed in the DVO digester.
- Vector and weed seed control – Irrigated DVO digestate are free from these “fugitives.”
The digester consumes sticky starches and performs the natural process of mineralization within the digester vessel instead of in the soil. Unlike raw manure, this treated liquid from the anaerobic digester is made “plant-ready.” It can be irrigated to a growing crop, making nutrient management more flexible. An optional secondary “fine-solids separation” step allows for the majority of a farm’s phosphorus to be placed into a cake form. It can then be transported to fields that need it while also allowing the liquid volume to be pumped through a pivot irrigation system.
