Poultry Manure Dryer Manufacturer in Brazil

Looking for poultry manure dryer manufacturers in Brazil? STRONGA builds FlowDrya lines to order at its Hertfordshire works and supplies them to Brazil — see the regulatory and economic context below.

FlowDrya poultry manure dryers are built to order at STRONGA's Hertfordshire works and supplied to broiler and layer operations here, though no FlowDrya litter line is documented in the country yet. Poultry litter is a high-volume organic residue: wet, odorous and quick to lose nitrogen as ammonia. Drying it to a low, even moisture stabilises the material, cuts odour and pathogens, and concentrates its nutrients into a transportable fertiliser or a solid fuel. As the national solid-waste law closes open dumps and steers organic residue toward recovery, a dried, stabilised litter is the compliant, marketable way to move it off the farm rather than dumping it wet.

Regulatory context

The National Solid Waste Policy (Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, Lei 12.305/2010) is the framework statute for waste in Brazil. It fixes a binding order of priority — non-generation, reduction, reuse, recycling, treatment and only then the environmentally adequate final disposal of the residual rejects — and expressly recognises energy recovery from waste, so a drying-and-recovery operation that turns wet residue into a fuel or a soil product sits high in that hierarchy rather than heading for burial.

The 2020 sanitation framework law (Lei 14.026/2020) amended the solid-waste policy to set firm, staggered deadlines for every municipality to close its open dumps (lixões) and adopt environmentally adequate final disposal, with the final tranche — the smallest municipalities, those under 50,000 inhabitants — due by August 2024. Burial of untreated waste is being closed off nationwide, so an operator that keeps generating wet residue needs a treatment and recovery route such as drying.

Treated organic residues placed on land are governed by CONAMA Resolution 498/2020, which sets the criteria for producing and applying biossólido (treated sewage sludge and comparable biosolids) to soils. It grades the material by pathogen reduction into Class A and Class B and lists thermal drying among the processes that achieve the stricter Class A standard, so drying is not only a handling step but a recognised route to the higher-value, less-restricted grade.

Economic context

Bought-in power is a real cost: recent data put Brazil's weighted-average industrial electricity price at R$ 442,05/MWh, which favours drying systems built around recovered kiln, boiler or flue heat rather than grid electricity.

Renewable fuels earn a genuine incentive. Under RenovaBio (Lei 13.576/2017), the national biofuels policy administered by the ANP, certified producers — including biomethane producers upgrading biogas — issue tradable decarbonisation credits (CBIOs), a real revenue stream that helps fund the digestion and drying equipment a site still needs.

Worked illustration (assumptions stated):

Drying converts a manure-handling liability into a saleable product. A dry, stabilised litter carts economically to arable growers as a concentrated organic fertiliser, or burns as a solid fuel that feeds a bioenergy economy already 50 per cent renewable. Powering the dryer is the cost to control: with industrial electricity averaging R$ 442,05/MWh, running the FlowDrya on recovered heat keeps operating costs down. Avoiding the disposal and haulage of wet litter, especially where open-dump disposal is being closed off on deadlines running to 2024, is the first saving. Assumptions: nutrient value, offtake and heat source are site-specific.

Poultry Manure Dryer Manufacturer in Brazil — FAQ

Is there a FlowDrya litter dryer here?

Not yet. We will not claim a local reference we do not hold; our proven FlowDrya lines dry digestate, bark and woodchip in Britain on the same platform a poultry operation here would take.

How does drying reduce odour and ammonia loss?

Wet litter ferments and volatilises nitrogen as ammonia. Taking it quickly to a low, even moisture halts that activity, locks in the nutrients and removes the smell that makes wet litter hard to store or move.

Which rules cover poultry litter reuse here?

As an organic residue, litter is governed by the national solid-waste framework, and a treated product placed on soil must meet the applicable biosolids and fertiliser criteria; a dried, documented material is far easier to place.

What can dried litter be used for?

Depending on grade, a concentrated organic fertiliser for arable and horticultural growers, or a solid biofuel. Dry, friable litter blends and freights far better than wet manure.

Does drying litter help the farm's energy bill?

It can. Burned in place of purchased fuel, dried litter offsets energy costs, and the dryer itself can run on recovered heat rather than costly grid power.

Does dried litter address biosecurity concerns?

Thermal drying reduces the moisture, pathogens and viable weed seeds that make raw litter a disease and nuisance risk, producing a hygienic, easily handled material a farm can store safely between spreading windows.

Can dried litter be pelletised?

Yes. A stable, low-moisture litter feeds cleanly into a pellet press, yielding a dense, uniform pellet that stores, meters and transports far more predictably than loose raw manure.
