Reducing Pig Housing Ammonia Emissions with Ammonia Capture Prototype
Reduces ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from pig farming through nutrient recovery and air quality improvement
or
Detail description
This prototype reduces ammonia and dust emissions in intensive pig housing by capturing pollutants in an ammonium sulphate solution. Treated air improves indoor air quality, while collected materials are combined with separated slurry solids to enhance nutrient content and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The system enables quantification of avoided ammonia emissions and reductions in nitrous oxide and methane during storage. It supports nutrient recovery and evaluates cost-effectiveness, including production cost per kilogram of live pig weight. Funded by the European Union and accessible via EU-FarmBook.
