Description:	ABSTRACT: Solid-liquid separation (SLS) in swine manure treatment is an important step due to a substantial amount of organic and inorganic solids that can be removed from liquid wastewater. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of two mechanical separation processes (screw press and rotary screen) followed by settling and to analyze the composition of liquid fractions. In this sense, total solids (TS), volatile solids (VS), fixed solids (FS), total phosphorous (TP), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and total organic carbon (TOC) were analyzed. By combining mechanical separation with settling, the average of TS, VS and FS removal was 75%, 80% and 69%, respectively. Phosphorus removal reached 86%, and TKN achieved a reduction up to 45%. There was no statistical difference among the results obtained using SLS by screw press and rotary screen. It was possible to conclude that SLS process with mechanical devices, followed by settling, generates a suitable effluent to be used on nitrification and denitrification process, producing an effluent with a C/N ratio of 2.6, and the solid fraction is useful to anaerobic digestion.
