PENAC-G FOR SLURRY |

|
The important difference between decomposition and decay |
||||
|
All dead organic material is broken down by nature. That happens in two different ways; in the presence of oxygen the matter decomposes and without oxygen it decays. |
With or without oxygen? |
|||
|
In the case of the decaying process one experiences the well known unpleasant odours.Various poisonous substances as well as pathogenic bacteria develop. Nutrients dissolve. The huge reservoirs of crude oil, gas and coal in our earth have been created through these decaying processes. |
Decay smells |
|||
|
It is totally different in the case of decomposition, the oxygen loving bacteria (aerobic bacteria) break down the waste into valuable soil particles. The nutrients remain and the smell is that of a good compost. In this environment soil fungi produce natural antibiotics against disease creating bacteria. |
Decomposing, the basis for new life |
|||
|
In modern agriculture dung is often collected in the form of slurry.
|
Slurry as waste or fertilizers? |
|||
|
Decomposed slurry is a valuable fertilizer |

To transform slurry into an homogenous aerobic condition, continuous availability of oxygen is necessary. Supplying this oxygen mechanically is generally far too expensive due to costly input costs. Simple and efficient is the use of oxygen information as done by penac-g. penac-g activates the aerobic bacteria in the slurry. Oxygen becomes, possibly available through the break down of water. The pre-requisite for this process is the presence of such bacteria which makes it necessary that the biological condition of the slurry should not be damaged too much by antibiotics, pesticides or detergents. |
How does slurry get into a aerobic condition |
|||
|
The successful effect of penac-g is noticeable by the increased activity in the slurry. Bubbles forming, in amounts that vary from farm to farm, can be observed. Further characteristics to be noticed are the break up and liquefying of the upper crust as well as the mineralisation of the sediments, the reduction of odours and an enhanced homogenising effect. Due to that the use of the agitator can be reduced or totally omitted. |

For difficult cases the penac-g starter is available. When using penac-g starter one must pay special attention to the
slurry in order to make sure that the compost doesn’t become solid. Once the slurry starts to bubble, at the latest after 8 weeks, the normal penac-g should be used.
