Pre-existing requirements for the seasonal storage of manure on dairy farms (primarily because you aren't supposed to spread manure in the winter) means that many dairy farms already have large manure storage lagoons/tanks. These are adapted into digestate storage tanks when the system is installed, although the additional food waste volume can result in additional storage volumes being required. What is nice about some of the manure storage tanks is that you can sometimes just add a 'ring' onto them to increase storage volume.

the digestate is then spread on farm fields using similar methods/equipment used to previously spread manure.
