NutraDrip recently had the opportunity to install a permanent manure separation system at a large research facility in Eastern Missouri. This project involved a full-service solution where NutraDrip provided everything needed to separate manure efficiently and run the processed material through subsurface drip irrigation systems, which NutraDrip also installed. This project demonstrates NutraDrip’s dedication to sustainable agriculture, showcasing how manure can be efficiently repurposed as a nutrient-rich irrigation source through advanced technology.
Horizontal Screw Press Taking Out Large Solids
Separator takes out large solids such as hair, fiber, straw, corn husks, etc.
Large Solids Being Conveyed Through an Auger and Stored
Large solids that will not continue to be separated are conveyed on an auger into a holding bin. These solids will be composted as a value-added fertilizer. The video shows an auger with 30 hours of solid separation accumulation in the pile.
Separated Liquid Segregated for Additional Separation
The separated liquid portion that will be broken down even finer will go into a separate holding tank.
Holding Tank Transfers Liquid to Microfilters
The holding tank will feed the separated liquid to the microfilter system where the microfilters remove particles as small as 25 microns. In this video, clean separated manure is being discharged on the bottom from the microfilter at 75-80 gallons per minute. Dirty discharge from the microfilter on the top is returning back to the pit.

Clean Liquid Stored
Clean separated manure liquid goes to a lagoon to be stored before going through the SDI system.
Remote Automation System Starts and Stops Itself Automatically
This automated system optimizes operations by starting and stopping on pre-set conditions. The system tracks pit levels, activating and shutting down at preset levels. It includes a holding tank with start and stop sensors, as well as microfilters that operate based on amperage and valve settings. One filter runs at full capacity, while the second filter only activates once the tank level reaches 60%. The setup is fully configurable and can be monitored and controlled remotely, allowing easy oversight of the manure separation process.
