Decanter centrifuge systems qualify for grant of 40% in new scheme

DECANTER centrifuges and fluidised bed combustion are among the new manure handling methods which farmers will have to become familiar when the Nitrates Directive is implemented next February.

The revised Farm Waste Management Scheme includes a new 40% grant-rate for decanter centrifuge systems, and a new scheme will also support demonstration of new technologies such as fluidised bed combustion.

Centrifuges are a common technology, being a basic feature in washing machines, for example.
