Ammonia and H2S Odor Control - Turkey Production Facility
Problem:
A large turkey installation in Canada was experiencing high ammonia levels
in the barns of the farm. The operator was using sodium bisulfate to dispense
the ammonia. The sodium bisulfate was working, however it was very corrosive
and not easy to use. The operator was interested in finding another treatment
that would not produce the negative side-effects of the sodium bisulfate.
Solution:
Histosol OP-Bio 5 was applied at a rate of 8 ounces per gallon via a back-pack
sprayer. Two gallons of mixed product were needed to cover each 1000 square
foot area.
Conclusion:
The ammonia odors were 90-95% eliminated immediately after the initial
application. Two weeks following the initial treatment, the odors were
still barely detectable. The operator of the plant is extremely pleased
with the product's effectiveness and plans to totally replace the sodium
bisulfate (which he was ordering in 10 ton quantities) with the Histosol
OP-Bio 5.
