Reduction of ammonia emissions during composting by Uncoupling of oxygen demand and heat removal
Intensive pig production systems result in high emissions of ammonia, odour and greenhouse-gases (methane and laughing gas) by exhaust ventilation air. Moreover, large amounts of manure (faeces and urine) are produced with insufficient nearby land for applications (Imbeath, 1998). These outputs lead to environmental problems related to acidification and euthrofication of natural ecosystems, ...
