Slurry Tanks – Your Path to Compliant and Efficient Farming

Did you know that proper slurry storage can protect your farm from fines while boosting its efficiency? Modern agriculture demands advanced solutions, and GreenTeam’s corrugated steel tanks are designed to meet stringent environmental regulations and the evolving needs of farmers.

Legal Requirements for Slurry Storage

Under the EU Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC), farmers must store slurry in leakproof tanks to prevent groundwater contamination. This regulation requires farms to use tanks with sufficient capacity and robust construction. Regular inspections by agricultural and environmental authorities, such as Poland’s Agricultural Market Agency (ARMA), verify tank conditions and compliance with fertilization plans. Choosing the right storage solution is not just a choice—it’s a legal necessity.

Why Choose GreenTeam’s Corrugated Steel Slurry Tanks?

GreenTeam tanks are crafted from high-grade S550GD+Z600 steel, coated with protective layers (e.g., Solano or DelaFlex) to resist corrosion and organic matter like slurry. Their key advantages include:

• Leakproof & Durable: Corrugated steel walls enhance structural integrity, minimizing the risk of leaks.
• Resistant to Harsh Conditions: Specialized internal liners protect against aggressive substances.
• Fast Installation: Modular design enables setup in just a few days, without the need for heavy machinery.
• Customizable Options: Capacities from 5 m³ to 3,143 m³, with covers, ventilation, and tailored fittings to suit any farm.

📌 Case Study

A farm in Greater Poland, Poland, installed a 500 m³ GreenTeam tank to comply with the EU Nitrates Directive. This allowed year-round slurry storage, enabling better fertilization planning and avoiding regulatory penalties.
