A Method to Eliminate Odor from Recirculating Air in the Animal House

Abstract

A new method to eliminate odors from air recirculating in an animal house is described. The new system consists of an ozonizer and titania silica ozone decomposition catalyst in the terminal of a recirulating ventilation system. The principle underlying the elimination of odors is the oxydative reaction of malodorous components on the surface of the catalyst caused by coupling with ozonolysis. This method appeared superior in terms of its durability, efficiency and lack of resistance to air flow.
