Geotextile covers to reduce odor and gas emissions from swine manure storage ponds
Odor, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), ammonia (NH 3 ), and volatile organic compounds (VOC, GC/MS analytes) were measured between May and October 2000, and between April and October 2001 at sites...
Malodor reduction in liquid swine manure treated in subsurface flow constructed wetlands
Anecdotal evidence has suggested that constructed wetlands can reduce malodor in liquid livestock wastes. This study quantified the concentrations of two malodorous compounds (dimethyl disulfide and...
Hydrogen sulfide production from stored liquid swine manure: a laboratory study
The production of hydrogen sulfide from stored liquid swine manure as influenced by the manure settling characteristics and the initial sulfate concentration was studied in the laboratory. The...
Biofilter media mixture ratio of wood chips and compost treating swine odors
Biofilter media mixtures were compared in 18 pilot-scale biofilters treating pit gases from a swine facility. The compost and wood chips mixtures ranged from 100% wood chips to a 50-50 blend in 10%...
The use of an air supported pneumatic structure to reduce earthen lagoon gas emissions
Gas emissions and odour control is an increasing concern as swine commercialization expands, since odour continues to be a limiting factor for future growth. Present odour control technologies for...
