Acidification plant NH4+
How does it work?
The source to ammonia emission is liquid manure. With this plant the liquid manure is acidified continuously. Acidic liquid manure is pumped into the whole system and ammonia (NH3) is transformed to NH4+. The natural Ph of around 7,2 in liquid manure is lowered to 5,5. The result is that ammonia (NH3) is transformed to NH4+, which does not evaporate. The NH4+ system can be installed on both existing and newly-built stables. Hence it is possible to obtain a zero solution on the ammonia emission even if the production is doubled.
Advantages
The concentration of ammoniac in the stable air is minimized, which result in a clearly better housing climate. Surveys in pig stables indicate that a better production result is obtained by lower feed consumption and higher daily gain. These results are supported by the practicable results from users of the plant.
That the loss of nitrogen as ammoniac is minimized is seen as elevated nitrogen content in the liquid manure. This increased level of nitrogen has moreover a radical elevated accessibility in the field compared to non-acidified liquid manure. Field trials have shown that farms with acidified liquid manure have about 35 kg accessible nitrogen more accessible to the plants per hectare.
- Ammonia emission from the stable is lowered with 70%
- Better housing climate
- Better production results
- 90% better utilization of the manure in the field
- Radical elevated accessibility in the field compared to non-acidified liquid manure
