Milkhouse Waste System

A system for the collection of waste water from washing dairy milking equipment and the milking parlor after each milking. The waste contains milkwaste, animal waste and cleaning products. It is used to control the waste water so it does not pose a threat to the environment, livestock and the farmer. The water can contain large amounts of nutrients, fats and detergents.
In 2008 a tank and pump milkhouse waste system was installed on a farm in the Taughannock Creek Watershed. This system will allow the liquid waste to be safely land applied.
