Ireland: INNOQUA demo site in Craughwell
The farm in Craughwell is home to 100 dairy cows, milked twice a day. Around 5,000 litres per day of wastewater goes to the dairy parlour sump, containing animal waste and parlour washings waste.
Beneficiaries
The INNOQUA system will treat some of the wastewater produced by parlour washings from the facility, while the rest will be stored in a holding tank then emptied by slurry spreading at specific times and within regulations. Beneficiaries include farms and similar agricultural facilities.
