Air scrubbers and their operation
Biological air scrubbers are modern type of air cleaning systems that use microbiological processes to remove pollutants from the air. In the context of livestock farms, they are often used to reduce particulate matter, ammonia and other odor and gas emissions. The thorough principle of barn air scrubbers involves the interaction of the air stream with a biologically active pre-solution, usually water with added microorganisms.
Fine dust and air quality in livestock farms
Fine dust, a mixture of airborne particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter, is a concern in animal agriculture. It can have negative effects on animal and human health. Optimizing the operation of air scrubbers is therefore very important for reducing particulate matter emissions and maintaining healthy air quality.
Application in poultry and pig farms.
Air quality in poultry and pig farms is a priority because of high concentrations of ammonia and other emissions. Implementing best available technologies, such as air scrubbers in poultry and air scrubbers in the
pig farming, can contribute significantly to reducing harmful emissions. The goal is not only to meet legal standards, but also to promote sustainable practices.
Stable pH Value in air scrubber
To promote optimal operation of an air scrubber, a stable pH value with appropriate conductivity of the process water is important. A stable pH-value (6.5 to 7.5) of the process water with an appropriate conductivity is important for the optimum performance of an air scrubber. An air scrubber should also meet the legal requirements for odor and ammonia emission.
BioAktiv provides stable pH and conductivity with BioAktiv-Z. It can be added to process water via a pre-solution.
