Waste management
Borger has unveiled its new Flowsep system, designed to significantly reduce the damaging effects of abrasive materials such as sand, grit and tiny glass particles commonly found in slurry and digestate. These contaminants can cause severe wear in pumps, pipes and other components, often leading to costly maintenance, unplanned downtime, and reduced equipment lifespan.
Developed to work seamlessly alongside Borger’s established Bioselect Separator, the Flowsep forms part of a fully enclosed and odour-free processing system. By working in tandem, the two technologies help operators remove and manage unwanted fine particles far more effectively. In operation, Flowsep can extract up to 90 per cent of these abrasive materials before they could circulate through the wider system and cause damage.
The presence of sand, grit and glass is a persistent challenge in slurry handling and biogas production environments. Over time, these particles settle and accumulate in storage tanks, digesters, pipelines and tankers, gradually eroding surfaces and reducing system efficiency. By removing the majority of these deposits at an early stage, Flowsep helps protect critical infrastructure such as pumps, valves, and pipework from premature wear.
The system is particularly suited to applications where liquid manure, digestate or other slurry-based materials are handled. By separating the fine mineral particles from the liquid stream, operators can significantly reduce maintenance costs and extend the operational life of key components throughout the installation.
When used in combination with the Borger Bioselect Separator, Flowsep also improves the quality of the separated material. The solid fraction produced is easier to handle, forming a stackable material that can be transported or managed more efficiently. This improved separation process can also help reduce the overall volume of material requiring storage, offering additional practical benefits for operators.
Despite its high performance, Flowsep has been designed with simplicity and practicality in mind. The compact unit can achieve throughput rates of up to 100 m³/h, making it suitable for a wide range of agricultural and biogas installations. Installation is straightforward, as the system can be retrofitted into existing setups with minimal disruption and includes its own integrated control system.
By combining effective particle removal with a compact, retrofit-friendly design, Borger’s Flowsep offers operators a practical way to protect equipment, reduce wear and improve the efficiency of slurry handling and biogas processing systems.
