Lely Sphere - How it works

Lely Sphere is a circular manure-handling system for separating mineral streams and creating value from emissions. The system separates manure and urine and converts nitrogen emissions into valuable fertilisers. You can use these for precision fertilisation. In this way, you improve closing mineral cycles as well as barn climate.

Everybody is talking about that it's expencive, but why should it be? It's a ventilation system with an acid resistend air washer. The Tank could be a regualar fibreglastank and the cleaning robot inside is just a big cleaning robot. The question is how high is the acid concentration and can it be safely operated and I guess it can, otherwise they wouldn't offer this product. Maybe in combination with a seperation system it can be even more effective

With the current market prices, it'll be tough to get farmers to invest in this.
Very innovative though.

That looks very good, but also expensive .

[hughmarcus]

Interesting (& as has been said) I suspect quite expensive. With looming new regulations around ammonia from livestock I reckon it’s only a matter of time around Europe before this type of system will be mandatory on bigger farms.

Damn Imagine if Fs19 had these graphics. Cool Video! 🤠

Beautiful animation! Also curious on economic aspects, with additional costs and benefits and possible revenues related to it. Can this in principle also be realized in an existing barn with a manure storage underneath?
Where the Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and/or Nitric acid (HNO₃) are coming from? Externally obtained from outside the farm? It is called a circular manure-handling system for separating mineral streams and creating value from emissions. What exactly adds on circularity, because also additional nutrient containing chemicals are required for the system by externally adding Sulfuric acid and/or Nitric acid HNO₃. In return though, it can and will generate extra nutrients, which can replace or reduce the fertiliser that normally is added and spread, like ammonia - nitrate. Other possible advantage could be that different valuable fertilisers are produced and available, allowing for more precision fertilisation. This may require additional equipment for application?

around time 1: 17, how would it work if it is freezing like -15 degrees Celsius?

[clarkloewen]

What percentage of nitrogen in liquid fertilizer mix?

Which program did you use for this animation?

[jasonmack]

Would this system work with a biomass digester

[nicksonandati]

How much will this cost to construct this type of a shade for 100cows

Anyone at Lely seeing this:
Can mineral separated fertilisers be applied in an organic system - given they are derived from organic source which could be applied in it's whole slurry form?
Thank you.

dann lieber doch einen kompoststall, denn was weniger kostet, muss man nicht wieder verdienen. würde die milch das doppelte kosten, könnte man sich so einen luxus leisten.

[justindavis]

Any chance this will become a farm simulator mod

[jonathanv.]

Goed bedacht maar niemand wil de kosten betalen

[bigal]

Nitric Acid is vicious stuff and really only suitable for a lab IMO, I would not want it near a farm.

Looks to be a sound basis, but I can't see it being viable unless there are some strong numbers involved along with a heavy government subsidy.

Any other account to use to talk to you

[BenNewman]

Does the water spray phase prevent smell?

[kstndsgdiexe]

best innovation !!!! congrat's . next step ?

[YipWai]

At least we all know how it's work in fs😂
