Slurry covers play a vital role in slurry management systems, particularly in regions with regulations requiring manure storage to be covered to lessen agriculture’s environmental footprint. The choice of the right cover depends on various factors, including the type of storage system (e.g., slurry silo or reservoir), dimensions, shape, the nature of the contents stored, prevailing weather conditions, and whether there’s a need for mixing. Genap offers covering solutions for both newly constructed and existing silos and reservoirs.
A tension cover serves as a covering that reduces emissions for silos made of concrete or corrugated steel.
A floating cover completely seals the slurry reservoir and is highly resistant to aggressive substances.
A floating cover for slurry silos adjusts its height in accordance with the changing volume of slurry within the silo.
In many countries, the obligation to cover slurry storage is a significant component of manure legislation. This requirement mandates that agricultural enterprises properly cover their manure storage. The aim is to reduce emissions of harmful substances into the environment, thereby minimizing environmental impact. This obligation encourages farmers to adopt advanced manure covering systems, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
In Herzlake, Germany, Genap installed a perfectly fitting tension cover made of PVC membrane on a slurry storage silo. With its carefully pre-engineered design and reinforced connections, this solution ensures efficient and seamless protection.
In collaboration with an international dealer, Genap installed floating covers at Hilderstone Farm for slurry storage, constructed from Genatex® 900 PVC. The prefabrication process enhanced installation efficiency, covering a total area of 2,450 square meters. This system minimizes rainwater infiltration and emissions, promoting efficient slurry management and environmental protection.
