Air Emissions from Two Swine Finishing Building with Flushing: Ammonia Characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this 11-month study was to evaluate the characteristics of ammonia (NH3) emission during a test of 1) soybean oil sprinkling (SOS), 2) misting of essential oils, and 3) misting of essential oils and water. Measurements were recorded every 60 s from August 2002 to July 2003 at two tunnel-ventilated swine finishing barns that were flushed at least 16 times daily with lagoon effluent. Ammonia concentrations were measured with a chemiluminescence analyzer by time-sharing it between the barns and ambient air. The treated barn with SOS resulted in 40% less NH3 emission than the control barn. The mean (± st. dev.) NH3 concentration and emissions were: 17±8.5 ppm (n=184) and 62±22 g/d-AU (n=175), AU=animal unit=500 kg).

Effect of a Manure Additive on Ammonia Emission from Swine Finishing Buildings
The effect of a commercial manure additive (Alliance®) on ammonia (NH3) emissions was evaluated in commercial 1000-head grow-finish swine buildings over a six-month period. The test was conducted in two treated and two control buildings at a modern swine-finishing site consisting of nine identical buildings. Automatic spray application systems in the treated buildings intermittently sprayed the...

متن کاملAir Quality and Emission Measurement Methodology
Reliable measurements of air quality and emissions at large livestock buildings with inherently large spatial and temporal variations of pollutant concentrations are relatively difficult and expensive. Appropriate methodologies for such measurements are not readily apparent and techniques and strategies vary widely. Several important technical issues need to be addressed by an air pollutant emi...
