Introduction
NH3 emission from AFOsAdverse effects on animal and worker healthSource of Odor and Environmental Pollution
Contribute to fine particulate matter formation
Eutrophication of water bodies
Contamination of groundwater
Constituent of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas
NH3 emission into the atmosphere results in a loss of nitrogen, an essential plant nutrient.

Introduction
U.S.EPA regulation
- Environmental Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
-NH3 and H2S emissions exceeding 45.4 kg (100 lb) in any 24 hour time period are
considered a “reportable Quantity.”

The ammonia removal efficiency of the scrubber ranged from 34% to 56%.
Increasing the contact time, decreasing the pH of electrolyzed water and narrow spray pattern mostly increased the efficiency of the scrubber.
The maximum efficiency of 56% was for: narrow nozzle, 0.9s contact time,Electrolyzed water with pH = 6.5
