Popis: Solid-liquid separation can be an effective manure treatment method for producing nutrient-rich organic solids for multiple uses and potentially reducing the odor generation rate and nutrient contents in liquid manure storage and treatment units. This article discusses the characteristics of animal manure relevant to solid-liquid separation for odor control and nutrient management, reviews the basic concepts used in different separation processes, and presents the design and operational principles and performance data of several major types of separation equipment as compiled from an extensive literature review. Such information is very useful for agricultural and sanitary engineers and animal producers to select solid-liquid separation equipment for animal enterprises. The needs for further research and development in the area of solid-liquid separation are identified.
