An organic farm in Berkshire installed a Puriflo effluent treatment system. The farm has 2,250 acres of chalk downs and organically rears 140 beef sucklers, 1,700 sheep, free range pigs and poultry. There is also a large conference facility at the farm.

The new specialist poultry processing unit is equipped with a Puriflo effluent treatment system comprising flow balancing, chemical coagulation and flocculation, pH correction and sludge collection.

The effluent from the DAF system is discharged to a reed bed and lagoon system, designed and installed by Watercourse Systems Ltd. The effluent then flows back into the aquatic environment entirely in keeping with the organic ethos of the farm. The treatment system was designed with a long-term view to the continued expansion of the processing side of the farm.
