Effectiveness of removal of Odorous Compounds from a poultry farm in a water scrubber with sand filling

Abstract

Breeding facilities are the source of numerous complaints regarding the odor nuisance. For this reason, numerous attempts are made to reduce the odor nuisance of such objects. One of the methods of deodorizing the gases from breeding facilities might be the sorption of odorants in water scrubbers. This article presents the effectiveness of removing this type of impurities from water scrubbers with suspended sand filling. An increase in deodorization efficiency was observed, compared to the water scrubbers without fill ranging from 55% to 62%, depending on the time of gas contact with the sorbent in the scrubbers.
