Product Overview The Pig House Acid Air Scrubber is an exhaust-air treatment system designed for commercial pig farms with controlled mechanical ventilation. It directs ammonia-bearing barn exhaust through a wetted packing section, where an acidic circulating solution absorbs ammonia before the treated air is discharged. The scrubber can be engineered for new pig farm construction or a suitable building retrofit, with its airflow path, footprint and service area coordinated with the livestock building and ventilation system.
Key Features
  • Acidic wet scrubbing designed primarily for ammonia reduction in pig house exhaust air.
  • Recirculating wash-water circuit with controlled acid dosing and process monitoring.
  • Modular or building-integrated arrangement according to barn layout and available space.
  • Corrosion-resistant housing, piping and wetted components selected for the specified operating conditions.
  • Access to pumps, nozzles, packing and sensors planned for routine inspection and maintenance.
  • Optional downstream treatment stage where the project also requires greater odor control.
Structural Components A typical configuration includes an exhaust-air collection corridor or duct connection, scrubber housing, packing media, spray headers and nozzles, wash-water sump, circulation pumps, chemical dosing equipment, pH monitoring, blowdown connection, droplet separator and control cabinet. Component selection and the provision of a separate technical area depend on the final design.
Working Principle Exhaust fans convey air from the pig house into the scrubber. The air passes through packing irrigated by recirculating wash water. Controlled acid dosing keeps the liquid within the specified operating range so ammonia transfers from the air into the liquid and is retained as an ammonium salt. A droplet separator helps limit liquid carryover. Used wash water is discharged to a designated storage or treatment system according to the process design.
Technical Specifications
  • Application: Mechanically ventilated pig house exhaust air
  • Primary treatment target: Ammonia; dust and odor performance depends on system configuration
  • Design airflow and pressure loss: According to project requirements
  • Scrubber dimensions and packing area: Customizable
  • Housing and wetted materials: Selected according to chemical compatibility and project requirements
  • Monitoring and controls: pH, water level, conductivity and alarms available according to configuration
  • Water and chemical consumption: Available upon request after ventilation and process design
Applications Suitable for finishing houses, sow units, nurseries and other commercial pig buildings where exhaust air can be collected and routed through a treatment system. It can be coordinated with steel structure pig houses, centralized exhaust corridors and farm expansion projects. Site suitability depends on the existing ventilation arrangement, available space and local emission requirements.
Customization Options Airflow capacity, packing area, module arrangement, duct connections, control functions, maintenance access and wash-water storage can be designed according to local climate and farm conditions. A biological or other downstream stage may be evaluated when odor reduction is a separate project objective.
Installation & Maintenance Coordinate scrubber resistance and fan selection during pig house ventilation design. Prepare the foundation or support structure, exhaust connection, water supply, electrical connection, drainage and suitable chemical and blowdown-water storage before installation. Routine service includes checking nozzles and packing for fouling, inspecting pumps and the droplet separator, calibrating sensors, and maintaining the dosing system. Chemical handling and process-water disposal must follow the approved project procedures and local requirements.
Product FAQ

Can this scrubber be fitted to an existing pig house?
Yes, where the exhaust air can be collected without bypass and the existing fans, space and utilities can support the final design.

Does acid scrubbing eliminate pig house odors?
Its primary purpose is ammonia capture. A separate treatment stage may be needed when substantial odor reduction is required.

What information is needed for a proposal?
Provide maximum ventilation airflow, building drawings, pig production stage, target emissions, available installation space and local utility conditions.
