A project that defines Neucadia’s lofty vision, the Plate Press started as an ambitious project to create a self-sustaining combustible fuel source out of liquid dairy manure. The Plate Press became the product as Neucadia saw the economic and environmental benefits of a manure separation process that held up to the abuse of sand-laden manure. Decreased water usage, lower methane emissions, lower maintainance costs, and reduced nutrient leaching are just a few of the advantages of the Plate Press system.
