Abstract

This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of a novel electrostatic-biotrickling filter system powered by photovoltaic (PV) energy for sustainable control of poultry house emissions. The system combines an electrostatically charged water spray with a vertical biotrickling filter bed composed of locally sourced materials-pittmoss, palm sheath fiber, and crushed tempered glass-to enhance the removal of particulate matter and ammonia. Under charged spray conditions, removal efficiencies of 79.5 %, 71.5 %, and 50 % were achieved for total suspended particles (TSP), PM₁₀, and PM₂.₅, respectively, with ammonia removal reaching 92.3 % at an empty bed residence time of 1.5 s. The PV array, rated at 1338 W peak power, supplies surplus energy exceeding 35 %, enabling off-grid operation. PV panel efficiency varied inversely with temperature, ranging from 16.1 % at cooler times to 11.3 % during peak heat. This integration of renewable energy with innovative filtration demonstrates a promising, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible approach for mitigating air pollution in poultry farming. The study lays foundational work for advancing sustainable agricultural emissions control using cost-effective materials and clean power.

可持续禽舍排放控制：一种新型光伏供电的静电生物滴滤

本研究介绍了一种新型的光伏（PV）能源驱动的静电生物滴滤系统的开发和实验评估，用于可持续控制禽舍排放。该系统结合了静电水喷雾和垂直生物滴滤床，该过滤床由当地材料（pittmoss、棕榈鞘纤维和破碎的钢化玻璃）组成，以增强颗粒物质和氨的去除。在带电喷雾条件下，对总悬浮颗粒（TSP）， PM 1 0和PM 2的去除效率分别为79.5 %，71.5 %和50 %。5，在空床停留时间为1.5 s时，氨去除率达到92.3 %。光伏阵列额定峰值功率为1338 W，剩余能量超过35% %，可实现离网运行。PV面板效率随温度呈反比变化，从较冷时的16.1 %到高峰时的11.3 %。这种将可再生能源与创新过滤技术相结合的做法，为减轻家禽养殖业的空气污染提供了一种有前途的、节能的、对环境负责的方法。该研究为利用高性价比材料和清洁能源推进可持续农业排放控制奠定了基础。

期刊介绍： The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice. PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers. PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
