E2950 Manure Enricher
GEA ProManure E2950 Manure Enricher - Produce your own fertilizer while reducing emissions. GEA presents a revolutionary environmentally friendly manure processing solution.
Liquid manure – known as slurry – can greatly contribute to a more sustainable farming, but how? Livestock slurry is a natural fertilizer providing nutrients for plants and organic matter which improve soil health and enable better growth. However, the nitrogen content is too low for the optimum fertilisation of most crops, and the loss of nitrogen can be significant. This increases the need for chemical fertilizers, and the lost nitrogen also ends up as pollution in the form of ammonia. Manure management is also one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture, particularly in the form of methane.
Produce your own fertilizer while reducing emissions
GEA’s ProManure E2950 manure enricher enables local production of fertilizer using only livestock slurry, air and electricity, – dramatically reducing harmful emissions and improving yield at the same time.
The manure enricher unit is a revolutionary piece of technology that is installed locally on a farm or biogas plant, to turn liquid manure or biogas digestate into sustainable fertilizer using just air and electricity. It is a container-based solution and is easily implemented into the infrastructure. Liquid manure is treated continuously prior to storage for application at the right time.
This technology adds nitrogen from the air into slurry, which increases the nitrogen content. The process prevents the loss of ammonia and eliminates methane emissions, making it a real solution helping to achieve climate target commitments on an industrial scale.
The end-product is a nitrogen enriched organic fertilizer, which we call NEO. It has the same characteristics as normal slurry but contains more nitrogen and releases significantly less emissions. It can still be spread using existing farm equipment, enabling farmers to improve their own food production, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and make farming more circular.
Benefits
- Eliminates methane emissions from manure storage
- Reduces ammonia loss and smell from manure management
- Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers
- Can reduce global GHG emissions from agriculture by up to 27% at source, on farm*
- Reducing air pollution from dairy farms by up to 50%*
- Improves crop yield by an average of up to 40% compared to untreated livestock slurry*
* The percentages may change slightly based on farm conditions.

Making milk production more sustainable for a growing world
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Clean machines safe food: The power of hygienic design
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
Filtration sensation: The washing machine principle
Engineering innovation often takes the form of incremental gains. Once in a while, it takes a leap. Case in point: The washing machine. Launched in September 2022, two new GEA software solutions are upending convention and delivering similarly dramatic efficiency gains in the resource-intensive process of membrane filtration.
