SELECTION AND SPECIFICATION GUIDE
CompanyProfile
Engineered Storage Products Company is the leading
manufacturer of Glass-Fused-to-Steel bolted storage
tanks. With over 50 years of experience our tanks are
used extensively in the Agricultural, Municipal and
Industrial markets. Founded on the HARVESTORE
feed storage structure (over
80,000 installations), our
product offerings have expanded
to include SLURRYSTORE (over
4,000 installations) and then AQUASTORE (over
20,000 installations). Our engineers provide tanks
designed to a wide range of standards, such as
AWWA D103, AISC, Factory Mutual, NFPA 22.
For Slurrystore we design to proven engineering
standards and our designs are approved by USDA
Natural Resources Conservation Service.

SELECTING A MANURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMNutrient Friendly. The Slurrystore Systemsbuilt-in Center AgitationSystem thoroughly blendsnutrients contained in dairyand livestock waste forhigher fertilizer value.
Engineered to theHighest Standards.All structure sidewallsheets are glass coated forhigh corrosion resistanceand a long life. Accessoriesare galvanized.
Convenient, Durable and Safe.The Slurrystore System features anabove-ground positive containmentstructure. An optional contaminantdetection system is available.
Manure storage, containment and management are becomingsome of the most important issues facing dairy and livestockproducers today. Environmental restrictions, community relations and economic return need to be considered whendeciding which system to implement. The Slurrystore Systemis your best solution for environmental stewardship and economical manure management.
Environmental StewardshipThe Slurrystore is an above-ground positive containmentstructure that minimizes the danger of runoff and ground waterpollution with lagoons, stacks, concrete pits and other storagemethods. Slurrystore can help you greatly improve the environmental friendliness of your operation by minimizingodor in some cases by up to 90 percent. Since SlurrystoreSystems store manure above ground, a chimney effect iscreated, releasing any odors above ground level into higherlevel air currents. Plus, with cattle manure, a crust typicallyforms on top, sealing in manure odor.
With greater environmental concern and stricter governmentalregulations on the horizon, Slurrystore is clearly the bestchoice for environmentally sound manure management.Slurrystore has been approved by the USDA NaturalResources Conservation Service (NRCS) and is eligible forgovernment cost-sharing programs.
Community RelationsNeighboring communities will value the odor control and environmental containment of a Slurrystore System, especiallycompared to lagoons or pits. As operations expand, having aSlurrystore may mean the difference between communityacceptance or not.
Economic ReturnDairy and livestock manure is a resource worthy of prudentattention. Using a Slurrystore System, what was once calledwaste disposal can now be described as nutrient storageand utilization. A properly sized Slurrystore can confidentlystore manure for months before it is transferred to fields asvaluable fertilizer for crops.
Research shows that on average about 30 tons of dairy cow manurethe amount produced by 1.5 mature cows consuming a balanced ration over a years timecan providethe total nitrogen needed to grow 150 bushels of corn. With its deluxe agitation system, nutrients in a Slurrystore maintaina consistency best for optimum fertilizer value.
The management system you choose today can be the difference between your operations manure being called an asset or a pollution liability. Make Slurrystore a key asset in your operation.

The Slurrystore Structure and
ODOR MANAGEMENTWe cant change the odor of livestock manure, but we may beable to help you change the problem it causes.No system can completely eliminate odor. The Slurrystore structureoffers engineered solutions to help you reduce manure odor problemswhen compared to other storage methods.
Smaller surface area than lagoons or earthen storage pits exposes less manure to the air.
Above-ground design creates a chimney effect for lifting odors above ground level.
In cattle manure a natural crust forms on top which seals in odors.
Bottom filling reduces the amount of surface disturbance.
Application of straw to surface area may provide an economical biocover.

Livestock producers are
seeking new ways to deal
with manure from their
operations in a safe,
efficient and sustainable
way. Among the options
being considered is the
use of an anaerobic
digester. Biogas
production is best suited
for farms that handle
large amounts of manure
as liquid, slurry, or semi-
solid with little or no
bedding added. A typical
digester system will have
a retention time of 21
days. To size a digester,
take the daily manure
production in your
operation and multiply
by 21. Research has
shown that an above
ground mixed reactor
similar to tanks designed
by Engineered Storage
Products Company
(ESPC), is going to be
more efficient than a plug
flow system. Listed in the
chart in the lower left are
expected production
values. With more than
25 years of liquid manure
storage experience, we
are ready to partner with
you and your digester
design consultant.

The heart of the coating systemis a multi-step glass-fused-to-steel process. The fabricatedsheets are grit blasted to a uniform, near white surface.The sheets are then inspectedand pre-coated. Proprietaryformulations of borosilicate,minerals, water and clays areblended into a sprayable slurry.After inspection, the slurry isfused to the steel sheets attemperatures above 1500F toproduce the distinctive glossySlurrystore finish. The moltenglass reacts with the profiledsteel surface to form an inert,
inorganic chemical andmechanical bond. EngineeredStorage Products proprietaryEdgecoat process flamesprays the edges with a protective stainless alloy.Glass is added to double coat
the sheet edges with barriercoatings. Our proprietary TiO2glass, utilizes dramaticallyincreasing toughness anddurability characteristics whilereducing production time.
