Pollo
In poultry farming, it is increasingly compulsory to purify the outgoing air. The ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of emissions of ammonia, odour and particulate matter. The Pollo air scrubber for poultry farming ensures that the outgoing barn air is cleaned.
The Pollo air scrubber for poultry farming belongs to a family of self-regulating air scrubbers. The system continuously measures various values in the washing water. These include nitrogen concentrations and PH values. The air scrubber also ensures that the waste water is automatically pumped to the storage tank and, if necessary, is replaced by fresh water.
Advantages of the Pollo air scrubber for poultry farming
The Pollo is the result of an intensive period of development by our product engineers, focusing on product standardization to provide an easy-to-maintain system that meets the highest performance requirements available today. The advantages of the Pollo air scrubber for poultry houses in a row:
- High reduction of ammonia, odour and particulate matter.
- Plug and play prefabricated and tested Skid (engineering frame) with all the technical parts.
- Standardized tables, regardless of the size of the scrubber, to make construction on site easy.
Due to the degree of self-regulation, these air scrubbers for pig farms require little maintenance from the pig farmer and his personnel.
The Porcus air scrubber also complies with the conditions of the BAT (best available techniques). These are protocols that apply worldwide for the reduction of various types of emissions resulting from production processes at agricultural and industrial companies. Click here to read more about BAT.
Specifications of the Pollo air scrubber for poultry farming
The Pollo is the air scrubber for the poultry sector and only available as a chemical air scrubber.
Here you can find the details.
- The barn air is rinsed with water at the entrance of the air scrubber.
Part of the dust is captured at this point in the process. - The air enters on the bottom of the scrubber and moves up through the horizontal filter
package that is sprinkled from above to clean the air based on the counter current principle. Ammonia, dust, particulate matter and odour components are dissolved in the process water. The ammonia (gas) is thereby converted to ammonium (dissolved) and then bound by the acid. - The process water is recirculated until it reaches a certain pollution level. This is measured with a conductivity sensor which represents the Nitrogen content of the process water.
- Some of the process water is then pumped to the waste water tank (handled through automated valves) and fresh water is added to the process water.
- The pH value of the process water is automatically measured and regulated.
- Demister / droplet separator above the filter package to remove as much of the water from the air as possible to retain it in the scrubber.

Heat recovery from poultry house air scrubber + Triple EEE
Heat from the outgoing air is captured during the washing process and can be recovered and reintroduced into the production process to provide the animals with an optimal climate environment. This means that the animals experience more welfare and better health.
In the video below you can see how Inno+ approached this together with ‘Kuijpers Kip’. In this way much better conditions have been created in the houses and considerable cost savings have been made.
Clean air worldwide
The Pollo is a built-in air scrubber, but sized in a modular way. For every size of poultry house a suitable air scrubber can be made. The Pollo air scrubber technical parts (prefabricated Skid) are delivered as a ‘plug-and-play’-product to the poultry company, thanks to the complete assembly and testing during production. The local Inno+ dealer builds and installs the air scrubber and puts it into operation.
