With Nitrogen around $1200-$1800 / Ton, and 60% N of your open pond system evaporating to greenhouse gasses ( 8% of total green houses gasses are from your open pond system) is it not time you put a lid on it?
Storage of effluent is an ongoing matter of frustration and high cost on many NZ dairy farms. It shouldnt be... Nutrients stored properly and effluent properly stored and managed will contribute to greater farm profits as less fertiliser is needing to be obtained. The National objective strives for water quality clean to swim or drink with farm effluent being one element in the mix to achieve this objectives it makes sense we aim to contain all nutrients and where possible reuse these at every step of the way ECOBAG™ , FLEXITANK R™ are proven award winning solutions meeting the highest international standards. TIS IN THE BAG™ we say ! DNZ Open day on farm Camebridge: Mark said lots of people were impressed by it. Hopefully you get more business with it. We love it. Its a no brainer over an open pond.
Lachlan Mc Kenzie Diary Farmer Rotorua listening to the rain falling with the knowledge that it will not be filling up the pond with fresh water that I have to pump out.
Maintenance of the 2000 Cube Ecobag in two years is almost none. some weed spraying around the edge to keep place looking smart.
The major benefit of the Ecobag in our high rainfall area ( over 3 m /year) is reduction of surface rainfall collected. I our case over 2 m l /year would fall on an equivalent pond which has to be pumped. We would fill an conventional pond over twice per year with rain water.
We spraying the stored effluent onto pasture during summer/ autumn period, ensuring the bag is empty by the end of the season. Having our 2 m l bag empty at the start of the spring season is great, we can just store effluent until ground is dryer and staff have more time to irrigate. By the way we have never even looked like fulling the bag, max it has been is around the 75-80% full.
Several of the staff have young children which like to play on the farm. Ride bikes on the concrete yard moving to motor bikes etc. We have confidence with the Ecobag there is no danger to the youngsters.
Being a forestry conversion farm we can see the benefits of the nutrients from the effluent. We have not done any work on if there is any more saving of nutrients I.E. nitrogen from less gas losses.
In summary. Over the last two years minimal maintenance, significant reduction in volume pumped due to no rainwater, Staff can empty when calving pressure is reduced and finally but most significant is the improved safety.
Sort it out in no time.... confirm now and safe, we roll out, you connect and pump that easy With FLEXTANK R ™ there is no longer an issue, this system designed specifically for ezy storage is more or less ready to use the day it arrives on farm.
Easy Install, Clean, Safe, Circular N and NO emissions
With a complete closed system you will capture no rain water, there is no smell, and no crusting, easy pump in and pump out and with an optional internal super efficient OLOID® stirring system you win all the way to the bank and back. The Round Flexitank R ™ is the latest structural design upgrade which mean the Bladder has superior strength ( no corners) and even distribution of forces ( all outward in same energy as its round) Older designs are square or rectangle and have larger stress points on corners . Therefore with FLEXITANK R ™ we can store higher (up to 1400 mm) as opposed to square or rectangle 1100 mm ( so FLEXITANK R (round) takes up less ground) Access points are easy as we have an inlet in middle with ability to go 360 degrees direction to where we need it and outlet determined by placing Bladder where we want it so we do not have to pre determine where this is placed as its round so we can turn it what ever way we want ( now or later) An access manhole is standard and allows for a mixer to be installed if required. FLEXTANK R™ is most suitable for unstable grounds, and in situations were there is emergency storage needed as a back up, or 30-100 day storage at certain times of the year, but where most effluent is pumped out direct to pasture most of the time. Where there is a feed pad and larger amounts of solids are present the ECOBAG™ system should be considered as a superior long term solution. ECOBAG and FLEXITANK R are 100% recyclable, thus providing new materials for future use

Stirring ponds through a conventional propellor mixer is energy hungry, its well proven old technology and for many a choice without thought. New science and technology has developed new systems of alternative and better ways to mix fluids, no different to car or mobile phone technology, the principal is still the same, the way we do it has changed. Oloid® mixers are highly energy efficient and are used in many applications, from mixing highly dangerous fluids in manufacturing process to sewage treatment facilities and now Dairy Effluent storage systems. OLOID starts are so efficient they can run on Solar, removing a whole layer of infrastructure and saving you cost.
Storage and management of effluent (Nutrients) is taking a whole new turn with an ECOBAG™ from Wieffering (EU) by TechniPharm . This great solution is not only very cost effective it also means you only need limited engineering and thus lower cost. ECOBAG™ is fully contained so you are fully covered for unwanted added rain water and objects which may get into the pond No issues with liner gas bubbles as this system is fully contained and gas can escape trough the sides. Less or no evaporation of valuable N, almost no smell and no crusting ever. System includes full internal mixing solutions, including an option for Solar based mixing. ( save on power install and cost) (mixing in open air increases N losses to air which is a greenhouse gas) Sick of the smell of a pond? no problem with ECOBAG™ , close to houses or the farm cottage no issue with ECOBAG™ Need to increase storage? why not rejuvenate the old pond with ECOBAG™ and increase storage by up to 100% at the same time. What are we currently not capturing in NZ: *6.2 Million dairy cows *100Kg N/ cow if all effluent captured *620.000.000 Kg N *At $2/ Kg on the ground that is $1.24 billion *11000 dairy farms *Per farm over $100.000 in lost nutrients *Per farm $100.000 plus spent on chemical fert. Why? *Organic matter improves top soil and carbon levels *Greenhouses gasses will need to be curtailed sooner or later Be smart about storing effluent! and ensure you use most nutrients you have captured effectively, beat any greenhouse gas legislation head on before its here. Balance Agresearch study in 2015 through Aaron Staffort stated Aaron says all effluent is a valuable resource for delivering nutrients cheaply, although older effluent may mean different response rates. In total, plants respond similarly to nitrogen regardless of whether it is applied in fertiliser or effluent, although response patterns may be different due to differences in immediate availability. Minimising the loss of nitrogen from effluent and manure enables the full nutrient value of these resources to be realised. But Aaron says as dairy farms shift to bigger effluent storage ponds and with the increased use of herd shelters and standoff pads to protect the environment, finding ways to minimise ammonia loss from effluent, both in storage and upon application, will bring more benefits to farmers by retaining more of the nutrient value of the effluent.
Open pond systems are like buying a house and only using 50% of it... open pond systems store up to 50% of nothing... rainwater, free board and sludge in the bottom are not storage of effluent... just holding. Avoid this and install an ECOBAG where you only store effluent, no rain, no freeboard no sludge. Effect storage from $40.- - $80.- per Cube . Bill Honeyfield Taranaki We have competed our first season in our new dairy, we installed a 2500 Cube ECOBAG and initial herbage testing confirms we are getting much better use of N P and K from the ECOBAG then from the previous open pond system. We have now substantial savings on fertiliser for this season and giving us the confidence to extend the effluent irrigated area to spread the benefits wider I thoroughly recommend ECOBAG for effluent storage 027 448 1046 Paul Martin Dairy NZ Rural Professional 2017 Can we afford to ignore our gas losses from effluent, both during storage and application? I cannot see how, long term, New Zealand dairy farms can continue to have uncovered effluent ponds. Can we still accept the gas losses from an effluent pond? Also rainfall capture is leading to a requirement for larger holding facilities than would otherwise be required.

BIOGAS is not for the faint hearted, if you have a very large feed pad used 365 days of the year, or a Cowhouse and at least 1000 cows, talk to us on how you can create sustainable energy to run your farm
I guess were harvesting sunlight in a roundabout way. The Ministry for the Environment says agriculture accounts for about 48 per cent of New Zealands carbon emissions. A single cow produces about as much greenhouse gasses as a car each day. New Zealand also has the highest annual per capita methane emissions in the world, with about 600kg produced. The global average is about 100kg. The Ministry for the Environment estimates methane emissions in New Zealand have increased by about 10 per cent since 1990, as more farms have converted from raising sheep to dairy. If you are exploring Biogas recovery and generation of power this paper is helpful TechniPharms Greenwash dung buster and ECOBAG storage system can be incorporated in these systems. There is a system working in Morrinsvile and also one in start up in Southland. In combination with a Cowhouse/ Herdhome or Feedpad this may have great potential. Be prepared to spend a lot in time and funds and have minimal returns but a great deal of satisfaction in generating your own power The fastest and easiest recovery is from gas to hot water, a 500 cow herd and ECOBAG Nutrient Capture Effluent storage system and a gas burner can heat up to 1000 L hot water a day... free and easy and that is reducing Greenhouse gasses to something which is useful. _____
