Abstracts from international papers.
ASABE International Symposium on Air Quality and Mnure Management for Agriculture
Proceedings from ASABE International Symposium on Air Quality and Mnure Management for Agriculture, September 2010, Dallas Tx.
Perstrup pig house with partial under-floor air evacuation and in-house separation of faeces and urine
This paper deals with a newly developed Perstrup pig house with partial under-floor air evacuation and in-house separation of faeces and urine.
Report number 0801
Ozone treatment of slurry from finishers in climate chambers.
Report number 0807
BIO-REX Hartmann Bio Filter tested in a finisher facility.
Removal of odour and ammonia in ventilation air from growing-finishing pig units using vertical biofilters
The measured odour removal efficiency averaged 60 %. In contrast, the biofilters did not reduce the ammonia concentration (ppm) significantly in the outlet air.
New Standards for Odour Emissions from Pig Facilities in Denmark
The aim of this study was to determine the average odour emission from the most common pig facilities in Denmark during the summer in order to find new standards for odour emissions.
A Biotrickling Filter for Removing Ammonia and Odour in Ventilation Air from a Unit with Growing-Finishing Pigs
The present study was carried out to investigate the ammonia and odour removal with a commercial biotrickling filter (SKOV A/S, Glyngøre, Denmark) in a unit with growing-finishing pigs.
1000 Olfactometry Analyses and 100 TD-GC/MS Analyses to Evaluate Methods for Reducing Odour from Finishing Units in Denmark
Odour from pig production is one of the biggest barriers to expanding pig production units in Denmark. There is a great need to develop methods to reduce odour emission. However, it is very important that the solutions are economically feasible.
