Organic Bed Biofiltration: A new Technology for Simultaneously Deodorization of Liquid and Gaseous Effluents on Pig Farms

Abstract

THE GROWTH OF PIG IN DUS TRY HAS CAUSED A GREAT PROB LEM OF UN DE SIR ABLE ODOURS, PAR TIC ULARLY IN AND AROUND PRO DUC TION BUILD INGS, STOR AGE AR EAS AND WHEN THE PIG MA NURE IS SPREAD. AMONG MA NURE TREAT MENT OP TIONS, OR GANIC BED BIOFILTRATION REP RE SENTS A VERY PROM IS ING TECH NIQUE FOR THE DEODORIZATION AND TREAT MENT OF PIG MA NURE. RE SEARCH AND DE VEL OP MENT WORK TO OP TI MIZE THE BIOSORTM-MANURE, A BIOFILTRATION PRO CESS FOR SIMUL TA NEOUSLY TREAT MENT OF LIQ UID AND GAS EOUS EFFLUENTS ON PIG FARMS, HAVE BEEN RE AL IZED ON THE SITE OF A PIG GERY (LE D'ORLÉANS, QUÉBEC, CANADA) USING A 560 M3 BIOFILTRATION SYSTEM. THE RESULTS OBTAINED SHOW THAT THE BIOSORTM-MANURE PROCESS IS AN EFFICIENT, SIMPLE AND PERFORMING TECHNOL
