“There is truly no other system providing clean sand like this in the world.”
Quote Ben Jones, Trillium Hill Farm, Wisconsin, USA.

Trillium Hill Farm, Wisconsin, USA, is one of only three dairy farms in the USA that has installed Stjernholm’s sand/manure separating system. The farm is also the only one of the three that uses the separated manure for biogas production.

The family is talking about that and much more in an article in the Dairy Star which is the largest magazine in the USA targeting milk producers.

According to the article, the Stjernholm system at Trillium Hill Farm reclaims an entire 98-99% sand which can be reused as bedding in cow cubicles. To the Jones family, it means that the need for sand has been reduced to less than 1% of the previous need!

As stated by our CCO and Partner, Thomas Fleischer Christiansen, it has been important to us to get the first installation put into operation in the USA, giving us something to demonstrate on-site.

As evident in the article, we have very much succeeded. You can read the entire article here.

Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented i.a. the traditional Cattle Congress, but on Monday, 2 May, we can once again meet Danish stock breeders, cattle consultants and biogas representatives to discuss the possibilities of both using sand in cubicles and delivering sand-free slurry for biogas production.

We will share a stand with Gråkjær that in many ways shares our beliefs and values within the environmental area, and we are looking forward to once again meeting people from the industry in person!

The new sand washer is now installed and ready to treat the increased quantities of sand from the first flow. When tested, it was shown to live completely up to the guaranteed levels of > 95 % dry matter and > 1 % organic material in the retained sand. The same applies to the retention of sand, which is above 90 %.

“In fact the earlier sand washer was only our sixth sand washer ever, when we installed it at the Egå treatment plant more than 20 years ago,” says Kaj Stjernholm with obvious pride. “Even then, we guaranteed a lifetime of 15-20 years with an estimated payback period of 3-5 years. Time has shown that our promises were kept, so that places us in a really strong position today when retention, dry matter content, the content of organic material and TCO are priorities in the call for tenders.”

The next chapter will be written in Randers – at Langelandsvej 4A where production, sales and administration have all been combined at one address since 1 November. You are always welcome to stop by!

– Although moving so far away from “home” is a little sad, I can already tell that having everyone gathered under one roof makes sense, said Kaj Stjernholm before he handed over the domicile to its new owners, tucked the company flag under his arm and took it to Randers.

An exciting year with plenty of new and interesting tasks is now awaiting until the company can celebrate its 25th anniversary on 30 September, less than a year from now. True to the Stjernholm spirit, plenty of festivity has already been planned on that occasion – till then, we hope that you’ll participate in our anniversary competition: We’ll draw lots for a bottle of Stjernholm rum on the last day of each month throughout the anniversary year.

It is from our common stand at Vandtek 2009 in Odense where we worked with the then Dong Energy, DHI, Picca and Orbicon and offered a free review of plants with focus on CO₂ reductions.

Unfortunately, our initiative back then was no success. We might have been ahead of our time – or EU procurement rules were in the way. And challenges have not grown less since then!

Fortunately, we now have our OXxOFF meter and other good products to contribute to solving the task!

In fact, we believed that the existing system was all right and that it primarily needed cleaning and general maintenance, but unfortunately, it turned out that some of the mounting had been bent which highly affected efficiency.

The necessary adjustments have now been made, and the result is quite astonishing: The energy consumption for aeration has been reduced by more than 30%!

That feels good both in terms of finances and the CO₂ accounts!

Since then, Stjernholm has had various addresses in Ringkøbing, but that is now a thing of the past. The domicile at Birkmosevej 1 has been emptied – sales and administration were moved to Randers where our production facilities have already been placed for a number of years.

– We are looking forward to having sales, project, production and administration all at one address, says Kaj with a hint of sadness in his voice. – Ringkøbing will always hold a special place in my heart, but at some point, the practical aspect will have to rule over your feelings, and that point is now, he continues. – In fact, we only had one employee left in Ringkøbing, so the majority of our employees are now closer to work. Covid-19 also taught us to be more flexible when it comes to working from home and going directly to the customers. –

On Monday, 1 November, we will be settled in the new premises at Langelandsvej 4A in the southwestern outskirts of Randers. You are always welcome to stop by for a cup of coffee and a productive dialogue.
