The Marsh 30,000 Litre Silage Effluent Holding Tank collects and stores silage effluent from clamps and bunkers until it can be spread or removed. It holds 30,000 litres (6,593 gallons), and it comes lined for silage as standard.
Sizing a 30,000 Litre Silage Effluent Holding Tank
Silage effluent is highly polluting, so storage must meet the SSAFO regulations. As a guide, they ask for at least 3 cubic metres of effluent storage for every 150 cubic metres of silo capacity. On that basis, this tank suits clamps of up to around 1,500 cubic metres. Please check your own site with your adviser.
Key features
- Silage lining as standard
- Optional chemical lining
- Optional 240V high level alarm with sounder and beacon

Options
Before adding the 30,000 Litre Silage Effluent Holding Tank to your basket, choose a lining to suit what you store and a high level alarm. The price updates as you pick each option.
Installation
Depending on ground conditions, the tank can be backfilled with granular material or with concrete. However, if the water table rises above the base of the tank at any time of year, it must be set in concrete. The same applies on clay or other ground that does not drain freely. Using the wrong backfill can void the manufacturer’s warranty, so please agree the method with your installer first.
