Intellifarm by AgrifarmSlaughtering pigs

Ammonia: 67 % in combination with Agri Airclean aircleaner.

When using another air cleaner the ammonia effect can be calculated: Overall effect = 0,86 × E − 11.

Odour: 53 % in combination with Agri Airclean aircleaner.

When using another air cleaner the odour effect can be calculated: Overall effect =  0,53 × E + 9.

MELT Expert RecommendationAdmitted to List of Environmental Technologies in 2019.
Cooling of manure (flush tube barns)Pigs

Ammonia: Up to 30 %. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: 0,85*x-0,004x2 (x=W/m2)

Odour: Up to 20 %. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula:  0,77*x

Reduction of ammonia emissions depend on the efficiency of the air cleaner attached. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: Overall effect = 0.7 × E – 12

Reduction of odour emissions depend on the efficiency of the air cleaner attached. The reduction is calculated on the basis of the formula: Overall effect = 0.39 × E + 9
