ABSTRACT Across-flow, packed bed, wet scrubber designed for the removal of particles was built and evaluated in a swine confinement building. It was able to achieve 90 percent removal of particles larger than 5 microns in diameter, a significant reduction in odor intensity, and an ammonia concentration reduction of 21 percent.
