Federated Farmers: Innovations clean up water for many uses

In 2015 FORSI launched The Forsi Effluent Recycling System

FORSI Innovations based in Matamata is a progressive company at the forefront of innovation for the dairy, industrial and municipal industries.

It has innovations such as the Aquafier IM advanced fully automated water filtration system specifically designed for use on dairy farms, water purification and installation of potable water plants, screening solutions for dairy shed and municipal waste.

The Aquafier IM water filtration systems are designed to filter out all contaminants to bring the water back to a high standard.

"We are market leaders in the innovation of farm water filtration. Not many filtration companies can offer the technology, quality and expertise we can," says Operations and Marketing manager Craig Hawes.

It has been shown in studies that if dairy cows drink quality water their milk production will increase. Dairy cows are extremely sensitive to the taste of iron and/or manganese in the water supply, more so than humans. Increased water quantity and quality equates to increased profit on the farm.

In 2015 FORSI launched The Forsi Effluent Recycling System, taking dairy shed waste water and filtering it to a clean, clear state ready to reuse how and when the farmers wants. This technology is creating a lot of interest both here in New Zealand and overseas.

The latest addition to the FORSI's products is an automated filtration unit for recycling 100 per cent of carwash water. With this latest technology a highly contaminated waste stream can be recycled back to a clean state ready for use. In the carwash system all the water is recycled and this is then reused to wash the next lot of cars with a spot-free finish.

This system is saving the owner of the carwash facility thousands of dollars a year in waste discharge and compliance costs.

If you need clean water for your farm and want to save money, or you have waste water and you want to save on discharge and compliance regulation costs, then you need to talk to FORSI Innovations about how they can help.
