Entwicklung der Abluftreinigung in der Tierhaltung in Deutschland

Abstract

The number of exhaust air treatment installations built in Germany accumulated from 1997 to 2010 to 1014, as producer inquiries showed. In this connection 762 installations were allotted to pig housing, 170 to poultry housing and 82 to other applications. In pig housing predominantly approved exhaust air treatment installations were used. The market share, related to the number of installations, for bio filters, trickle bed filters and multistage operations amounted to 26.4, 24.0 and 43.2 % in 2010. In poultry housing approved exhaust air treatment installations were scarcely used so far. In this respect conclusions are neither possible concerning the process technique nor their effectivity. Growing environmental regulations and growing opposition by local communities for larger pig and poultry husbandries will result in marginal development perspectives in future without using approved exhaust air treatment installations.
