Treatment of barn exhaust air by photocatalytic cleaning systems
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-THÜ-2019-LPTT
Contract period: 01.01.2019
- 31.12.2021
Budget: 363,731 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, animal husbandry
The increasing demand for animal food in Germany and worldwide leads to an intensification of farm animal husbandry. The stable housing is associated with emissions, which are transported via ventilation systems in a very concentrated form to the outside. The main airborne pollutant emissions can be classified as chemical and biological pollutants. According to the TA Luft in the 2015 amendment, there are emission limits for the captured air from stabling facilities with regard to dust and ammonia. Other relevant compounds, such as nitrous oxide and methane as climate-damaging gases are not or not sufficiently removed with conventional exhaust air treatment plants. The legal requirements on bioaerosols for limiting microbial emissions become binding. In the planned project, the photocatalytic oxidation in relation to the reduction of all emission-relevant substances, including sanitation, will be developed for the first time and tested on a laboratory scale. For this an adequate online measuring technique with telemetric data transmission has to be developed for the later demonstration plant.
