Abstract

Flexible tank for transporting vinasse in the sugar and alcohol plants, while increasing the application area of vinasse as fertilizer. The flexible tank will make it possible to transport the vinasse in sugarcane trucks, resulting in: 1. Not using tank trucks; 2. Reduction in the amount of imported fertilizers purchased; 3. Reduction of groundwater contamination; 4. Increase in sugarcane productivity. (AU)
