JH Acidification NH4+ for pigs

Why choose JH Acidification NH4 +?

  • Added value for the farmer – Added value for the climate
  • The only technology with emission reductions from the pig units, the storage tank and on application to the fields
  • Reduced ammonia evaporation – 64 %
  • Reduced odor emission – 51 % with JH SmellFighter
  • Reduced methane gas emission
  • Reduced nitrous oxide emission
  • Reduced hydrogen sulphide emission
  • Reduced CO2 emission
  • Reduced nitrate leaching from the fields to the aquatic environment
  • Reduced dust in the pig unit
  • Significantly better work environment for the staff

Why choose JH Acidification NH4 +?

  • Nitrogen from acidified slurry is taken up faster by crops
  • Acidified slurry covers the sulfur requirements of crops
  • Better feed utilization and weight gain
  • Acidified slurry reduces the need for manganese spraying
  • Hose lay-out reduces tramline compaction
  • Less crop damage when applied by hose in relation to injection
  • Slangeudlægning giver færre kørespor end nedfældning
  • Acidified slurry with higher and stabilized nitrogen content is easier to sell on slurry agreements

Why choose JH Acidification NH4 +?

  • Proven and verified technology for slurry acidification
  • Fully automatic slurry handling – savings on labour costs
  • The technology can be used in new and most existing pig units
  • The technology can be adapted to the size of production
  • Nitrogen is retained in acidified slurry – savings on purchase of fertilizer
  • Improved animal welfare
  • Significantly less flies in the pig unit
  • Fully slatted floors provide for minimal cleaning in the pigpens
  • Sulphuric acid does not damage concrete and inventory in the pig unit

Barn

  • Max. of 1500m2 per. barn
  • Max. 12 barns per system
  • If straw is used, a separator solution must be added

Installation

  • Double-wall sulfuric acid tank
  • PLC for control and monitoring of the acidification process
  • The system is installed directly at the barn
  • A process tank where the sulfuric acid is mixed with the slurry

Technical well

  • Distributes the slurry with the help of pneumatic valves
  • 2 versions
  • 4 valves or 6 valves
  • Max. 2 technical wells per system

The Process

  • The slurry is pumped directly from the barn to the process tank, where the sulfuric acid is added automatically. The dosage is controlled by a pH-sensor.
  • The treated slurry is automatically pumped to the storage tank and back into the barn. Part of the treated slurry is pumped back into the slurry channels in the barn.
  • With treated slurry in the slurry channels, emission of environmentally harmful gasses is reduced, benefitting the environment, as well as animal- and human-health in the barn.

Verified technology

  • Test and verification of environmental technology in the agricultural sector
  • To strengthen a well-functioning international market for environmental technology
  • Multinational cooperation Denmark, The Netherlands and Germany
