BIOCRUST at UK AD & BIOGAS EXHIBITION

2013-07-15T06:11:00.000-07:00

Thank you to everyone who visited our stand at the recent UK AD & BIOGAS exhibition.

We were delighted with the amount of interest shown in BioCrust. It is evident that digester owners/operators are realising the potential value of their digestate and are taking steps to conserve that value.

Analysis shows that an impressive 80% of the total nitrogen in food-based digestate is present as readily available nitrogen. This high level of availability means that digestate can be used as a direct replacement for 'bagged' fertiliser.

Digestate is a valuable resource - a covering of BioCrust will ensure that value is maximised.

NEW!! ECOCRUST

BIOCRUST ARTICLE IN PIG WORLD

2013-04-08T06:24:00.000-07:00

See below an article in the April edition of Pig World regarding Ameram's new product BioCrust and the benefits of a crust on stored slurry.

The importance of making the most of the nutrient value of slurry is now widely recognised. Ameram's BioCrust has been designed to not only reduce odours and harmful emissions but help to conserve the nutrients within stored slurry and reduce the reliance on expensive bought-in fertilisers thereby turning a problem into a valuable asset.

LARGE AEROMIXER SYSTEM

2013-01-14T04:50:00.000-08:00

We have just completed the installation of our largest single Aeromixer system within a 2400m2 slatted cellar on a 300 cow dairy unit in Carmarthen.

This is one of several 2000m2 plus and many 1000m2 plus units installed in 2012.

Among the reasons cited for choosing the Ameram Aeromixer system are safety for operatives and livestock, especially after the recent tragic deaths which have occurred within livestock buildings, awareness of the economic benefits of labour and energy saving, reduction of odour and the production of slurry which is not only readily available and easier to spread but is a valuable nutrient source.Click here to view the benefits of the Ameram Aeromixer system.

HYDROGEN SULPHIDE EMISSIONS DANGER

2012-12-13T03:12:00.000-08:00

Our dealers report that the recent publicity regarding deaths caused by hydrogen sulphide emissions from stored slurry within livestock buildings has led to increased interest in the Ameram Aeromixer.

Farmers who had planned to install a traditional mixing system in their new buildings have opted to use our safer low-rate intermittent slurry aeration system. The Ameram slurry air mixing system also provides them with numerous other practical and economic benefits. Check out these benefits here

AEROCOVER/AEROCRUST CONFUSION

2012-09-04T03:02:00.000-07:00

Ameram Ltd has decided to rename AeroCrust Active as BioCrust due to the confusion with Aerocover which is a similar product but with a different mode of action and subsequent results.
Aerocover is a polymer coated aggregate which "converts ammonia into nitrogen gas and water" whilst BioCrust is biologically activated to convert ammonia into nitrates. Biocrust will be officially launched at Livestock 2012.

LIVESTOCK 2012

2012-08-27T03:42:00.000-07:00

We will be exhibiting at Livestock 2012 on 4th and 5th September at the NEC Birmingham. You will find us on stand no. 324 together with Midland Slurry Systems Ltd. Why not visit us to discuss your slurry storage, mixing and odour problems. We would love to see you!

AEROCRUST ACTIVE - THE BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FLOATING LAGOON COVER

2012-07-12T08:33:00.000-07:00

AeroCrust Active, the biologically active floating lagoon cover, which has been developed by Ameram Ltd, was successfully introduced to the Anaerobic Digestion market at the recent ADBA exhibition.
AeroCrust Active stimulated much interest by AD owners and developers, who appreciated the need to preserve valuable nitrogen within the digestate in addition to solving or preventing odour problems.

AEROCRUST ACTIVE SUCCESSFUL AT PIG AND POULTRY FAIR

2012-05-17T07:06:00.000-07:00

Huge interest was shown in our new exciting product AeroCrust Active at the Pig and Poultry Fair.

Many farmers were especially interested to learn that AeroCrust Active will not only reduce odour emissions from stored slurry but also conserve nitrogen within the slurry and biologically convert ammonia to usable nitrates.

This is particularly relevant today due to the rising costs of bagged fertilisers.

AeroCrust Active at Pig and Poultry Fair 2012

2012-05-09T06:02:00.000-07:00

We will be at The Pig and Poultry Fair 2012 which is being held at Stoneleigh Park on 15th and 16th May 2012 and can be found on stand 376 which we are sharing with Midland Slurry Systems Ltd.

We will be exhibiting our new product AeroCrust Active together with our Aeromixer System and will be happy to discuss these products and their uses with clients old and new.

AMERAM AEROMIXERS SPREADING ON ORKNEY

2012-01-14T10:55:00.001-08:00

Many farmers on Orkney are becoming aware that installing an Ameram Aeromixer system in their slatted cellars will solve the problems which many encountered when mixing and emptying their slurry stores.

Since 2004 Ameram Ltd has supplied 15 Aeromixer systems for installation in slatted cellars on Orkney and the islands.

One satisfied customer, Mr. Richard Jarvis of Westray, reports that having done extensive research on the Internet, regarding mixing the slurry in his new slatted cellar, he discovered the Ameram Aeromixer system which would mix the slurry safely and provide him with a product that was ready to spread without the need for extensive and costly prior mixing.

Richard Jarvis reports that the installation was completed by himself, with the aid of an illustrated installers' manual and a few phone calls to Ameram for advice, and was a relatively simple and smooth process

He states that Ameram Ltd. were very helpful in sorting out any teething problems that occurred, such as caused by the 'uneven' electrical supply. This necessitated the use of a different control unit which, once installed, solved the problem.

Richard says "The Ameram Aeromixer certainly does 'what it says on the tin' and I have already introduced several Orcadian farmers to the system.

AEROMIXER FOR HARPER ADAMS UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

2011-12-16T03:46:00.000-08:00

Ameram Ltd is proud to have completed the installation of our Aeromixer system in a 33.3m.dia. x 8.4m.high digestate tank at Harper Adams Universiry College. The digestate is one of the by-products of the anaerobic digester biogas plant which will generate heat and power from farm and food waste.
To enable over 8m. depth of sludge to be mixed effectively we have used a hook-and-claw type compressor unit, which is capable of delivering up to 100m3 air, at up to 1.4 bar pressure, with very low noise levels. Using the Ameram patented air-driven rotary distribution valve system with a hook-and-claw compressor unit, and blowing not more than 4 air outlets at a time, the Aeromixer system keeps over 6,000m3 digestate well mixed using just 32kW per day.
Early in the New Year a covering of Aerocover will be applied to the digestate tank. The Aerocover was chosen by Harper Adams to prevent odour and ammonia emissions.

AEROCOVER - NO MORE SMELL!

2011-08-08T11:09:00.000-07:00

Following successful independent trials Aerocover has recently been used, very successfully, to reduce odour problems on a large pig slurry lagoon which had, previously, received numerous complaints, via. the Environment Agency, from neighbours. Following application of Aerocover the complaints virtually ceased and the Environment Agency were delighted and fully endorsed the application of the product.

Aerocover application has also enabled a pig farmer, near Knaresborough, to comply with IPPC regulations.

Aerocover has also been used to facilitate the granting of planning permission in a number of cases as it 'ticks all the boxes' for the relevant authorities.

Check out the article in the July issue of Pig World entitled 'No More Smell'

THE DAIRY EVENT 2011

2011-08-08T08:32:00.000-07:00

We would like to invite old and new customers to visit us on stand No. SI 044 at The Dairy Event at the NEC Birmingham on 6th & 7th September 2011, where we will be sharing a stand with Midland Slurry Systems Ltd within the slurry and irrigation area. Together with Midland Slurry Systems we will be able to offer advice on all aspects of slurry storage and management.

We will be bringing a sample of our exciting new product Aerocover and will be able to discuss the benefits of its usage and its effectiveness in reducing ammonia loss and odour emissions from stored slurry.

See you there!

NVZ Realization

2011-05-26T01:54:00.000-07:00

As anticipated, Grassland & Muck 2011 turned out to be a very busy and successful show, both for ourselves and our agents Midland Slurry Systems Ltd with whom we shared a stand. As there is now only 7 months left to comply with current NVZ storage regulations many orders were taken for slurry stores and Ameram Aeromixers and requests made for farm visits to advise on slurry storage and mixing.

There was also great interest shown in Aerocover, especially where odour was a problem. The use of Aerocover can often help when applying for planning permission as perceived odour problems can often hinder or even prevent planning permission being granted.

New dealer for the Channel Islands

2011-03-30T08:17:00.000-07:00

Ameram Ltd are delighted to announce the appointment of Agri-Co Ltd of Jersey, as main dealers of the Aeromixer system in the Channel Islands.
They have already sold and installed their first system in a 42m. x 11m. slatted dairy building. The system was fully installed and commissioned within 2.5 days

Due to a growing awareness of the fertiliser value of slurry, there has been an increased interest in slurry aeration which, not only retains useable nitrogen within the slurry but also enables the slurry to be spread at any suitable time, without the need for time-consuming and costly mixing with a tractor. John Deans of Agri-Co Ltd recognises that slurry aeration is the modern, economical and efficient way to mix stored slurry and is keen to promote the system.

We look forward to working with Agri-Co. Ltd. and hope to see many more Aeromixer systems installed in the Channel Islands.
