Life Cycle Assessment of Slurry Management Technologies

Figure 4.8. Sensitivity Analysis: Consequences of changing the law so it demands that the farmer reduces the consumption of mineral N fertiliser in correspondence with the extra amount of N that the acidified slurry contains compared to non-treated slurry. Environmental impacts for the system with acidification of slurry in an infarm NH4+ plant compared to the reference system (both based on soil type JB3, 10 year time horizon for soil processes) – pig slurry.
