Manure Management:Durable Biofilter Container Built of Available Materials- Swine Research Review

摘要

Pork producers can benefit from substantial odor control on swine building pit fans using an engineering design that ensures a viable, effective biofilter. "We have created a method for assembling a durable, rodent-resistant biofilter container that is built of readily obtainable materials using simple methods and tools," says lead researcher Ted Funk, Extension specialist in agricultural engineering at the University of Illinois. Funk and Matt Robert, research engineer with the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, have built two biofilters on the school's research farm that they say have the ability to reduce odor emissions by up to 90%.
