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

GEA Insights
Pre2Fuel: Cleared for takeoff
GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
The next era of food production with GEA NEXUS
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
