The existing technology for chemical and biological air scrubbing in animal barns can be optimized by careful maintenance and recalibration. European and regional air quality policies in the last decades have increased pressure on pig and poultry farmers to limit their farms emissions. Every air-scrubbing pressure livestock facility needs to reach an ammonia level of 70%.

Farmers often install wet air scrubbers (chemical or organic) to reduce the impact of barn emissions and potentially hinder those who live close to the farm. Both the above-mentioned types of wet scrubbers have dozens of options available on the market. These scrubbers remove ammonia and other pollutants (odor, particulate matter) from the outgoing air, then converted via acidified water and subsequent chemical and/or biological reactions. There are many ways to improve the effectiveness of wet scrubbers: biological air scrubbers can improve odor reduction without compromising ammonia reduction. A chemical wet air scrubber is stronger in the combination of ammonia and particulate matter.

Today continuous measuring systems, that record data during an entire-fattening period, are increasingly used to to determine the amount of ammonia removed. The differences between day and night, animal sizes, behavior, barn management, and other factors can be connected to the air scrubbing data. To achieve a more precise measurement of ammonia reduction, it is essential to measure the outgoing air at multiple locations.

A series of recent studies show that chemical wet air scrubbers are now capable of capturing up to 95% of ammonia from the air. The biological wet air scrubbers achieve a maximum rate of 80-85%.

If you are looking for the best air treatment device to improve air quality, Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge type of wet scrubber – a Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber.

Redwood technology is a fast-growing vendor of wet air scrubbers. The multi-vortex scrubber can remove gas emissions, dust, vapors, and other pollutants from a gas stream. It is an innovative technology created to save water that makes it more cost-efficient and differs from other types of scrubbers.  If you have any questions or would like to purchase a multi-vortex wet air scrubber, please contact us at info@rdwd.tech
