The present study showed the advantages of dried Bacillus subtilis culture (DBSC) supplementation on reducing ammonia gas release in the poultry house. In Experiment 1, 65-week-old Hyline W-36 hens were raised in individual wire-floor cages in a windowless house, and divided into two groups of 180 hens each. One group was fed diets without DBSC as the control and another group was fed a diet supplemented with 2% DBSC. In Experiment 2, 2-week-old broiler chicks were divided into 3 treatment groups of 20 chicks each and maintained in individual floor cages. One group was fed the diet without DBSC and other two groups were fed the diet supplemented with 1 or 2% DBSC, respectively. In experiment 1, DBSC consistently reduced ammonia gas release in the laying house (p<0.01) and manure storage facilities (p<0.01). incubation of feces for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 24 or 48 hours showed that DBSC consistently reduced ammonia gas release. In Experiment 2, DBSC reduced ammonia gas release in the broiler house; however, DBSC had no effect on total N, urate-N and ammonia-N contents of feces, but it improved cumulative N utilization and decreased serum urea-N concentration when chicks when chicks were fed 1% DBSC.

독성가스의 누출은 공정설비의 위험도에 크게 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 API-581에 의한 위험기반검사에서 매개변수의 변화에 따른 독성가스(암모니아 및 염소 가스)의 누출사고 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 독성물질의 누출에 의한 사고결과, 즉 독성 피해영역은 온도가 증가할수록, 그리고 압력과 파이프 직경이 감소할수록 감소하였으며, 동일한 누출조건에서 암모니아 보다 염소가스인 경우에 큰 값을 나타내었다.

An accident of an ammonia tank pipeline at a storage plant resulted in one death and three injuries in 2014. Many accidents including toxic gas releases and explosions occur in the freezing and refrigerating systems using ammonia. Especially, the consequence can be substantial due to that the large amount of ammonia is usually being used in the refrigeration systems. In this study, offsite consequence analysis has been investigated when ammonia leaks outdoors from large storages. Both flammable and toxic effects are under consideration to calculate the affected area using simulation programs for consequence analysis. ERPG-2 concentration (150 ppm) has been selected to calculate the evacuation distance out of various release scenarios for their dispersions in day or night. For offsite residential, the impact area by flammability is much smaller than that by toxicity. The methodology consists of two steps as followings; 1. Calculation for discharge rates of accidental release scenarios. 2. Dispersion simulation using the discharge rate for different conditions. This proactive prediction for accidental releases of ammonia would help emergency teams act as quick as they can.

This study investigated the effects of fermented product from Bacillus subtilis (FPBS) on feed conversion efficiency, fat accumulation and ammonia production in broiler chicks. Sixty female broilers (strain Chunky, 7-day old) were divided into four groups and raised in individual cages. One group was fed a commercial diet without supplementation of FPBS as the control and the other three groups were fed commercial diets containing FPBS, either 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0%, for 21 days from 7 to 28 days of age. Water and feed were given ad libitum. Feed conversion efficiency was significantly improved in chicks supplemented with 0.5 or 1.0% of FPBS as compared with the control (p<0.05). The activities of hepatic acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase, and contents of triglyceride and cholesterol in the liver were significantly decreased in treatment groups (p<0.05) as compared with the control group. FPBS had no effect on the concentration of plasma triglyceride, phospholipids and cholesterol. Feeding FPBS at 1 % or 2% levels reduced ammonia gas release (p<0.05). The inclusion of FPBS at 1 % level may be recommended both to improve production efficiency and to reduce air pollution caused by ammonia gas release. For production efficiency to reach maximal profit, the inclusion of FPBS at 0.5% level can be recommended. Feeding FPBS reduced fat accumulation in the liver.

이 논문에서 암모니아 가스의 실내 누출 및 확산 현상을 FLACS 소프트웨어를 이용하여 시뮬레이션한 결과, 암모니아 가스가 실내에서 폭발 위험분위기를 쉽게 형성함을 확인하였다. 따라서 암모니아 가스를 냉매가스로 사용하는 고압가스 냉동제조시설의 냉동실은 환기장치를 갖추거나 가스누출검지경보장치를 설치하여야 한다. 그러나 냉동시설의 특성상 이들 설비를 설치할 수 없기 때문에 재발방지대책으로 암모니아 가스설비의 전기설비는 방폭구조로 설치하고 고압가스 냉동제조시설에서 가스누출 등의 이상사태가 발생하는 경우에 사업장 안의 모든 종사자가 신속히 대피할 수 있도록 통신시설을 설치할 필요가 있다.

This paper discussed the effect of ammonia concentration adsorbed on fly ash for the ammonia emission as AAFA (Ammonia Adsorbed Fly Ash) produced from coal fired plants due to operation of NOx reduction technologies was landfilled with distilled or sea water at closed and open systems, respectively. Ammonia bisulfate and sulfates adsorbed on fly ash is highly water soluble. The pH of ammonium bisulfate and sulfate solution had significant effect on ammonia odor emission. The effect of temperature on ammonia odor emission from mixture was less than pH, the rate of ammonia emission increased with increased temperature when the pH conditions were kept at constant. Since AAFA increases the pH of solution substantially, $NH_3$ in the ash can release the ammonia order unless it is present at low concentration. $NH_4{^+}$ ion is unstable in fly ash and water mixtures of high pH at open system, which is changed to nitrite or nitrate and then released as ammonia gas. The proper conditions for < 20 ppm of ammonia concentration released from the AAFAs landfilled in ash pond were explored using an open system with sea water. It was therefore proposed that optimal operation to collect AAFA of less than 168 ppm ammonia at the electrostatic precipitator were controlled to ammonia slip with less than 5 ppm at SCR/SNCR installations, and, ammonia odor released from mixture of fly ash of 168 ppm ammonia with sea water under open system has about 20 ppm.

암모니아 수용액은 탈질, 의류의 얼룩제거 등 생활전반에 광범위하게 사용되면서 누출사고도 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 여기에서는 누출사고 시 비상대응에 필요한 영향범위를 비교적 정확하면서 신속하게 계산할 수 있는 간이 산정표와 산정식을 개발하였다. ALOHA 프로그램을 이용하여 일반적으로 유통되는 암모니아 수용액의 농도(10 % ~ 30 %)에 따른 영향거리를 액면의 크기($1m^2{\sim}500m^2$)별로 산정하여 제시하였다. 또한, 농도와 액면의 크기가 영향거리에 미치는 상관관계를 분석하여 해당 값에서 영향거리를 쉽게 계산할 수 있는 산정식을 개발하였다.

In this study, the effects of the mesh barrier on the free dispersion of ammonia were numerically investigated under different atmospheric conditions. This study presents the detail and flow feature of the dispersion of ammonia through the mesh barrier on various free stream conditions to decline and limit the toxic danger of the ammonia. It is assumed that the dispersion of the ammonia occurred through the leakage in the pipeline. Parametric studies were conducted on the performance of the mesh barrier by using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. Numerical simulations of ammonia dispersion in the presence of mesh barrier revealed significant results in a fully turbulent free stream condition. The results clearly show that the flow behavior was found to be a direct result of mesh size and ammonia dispersion is highly influenced by these changes in flow patterns in downstream. In fact, the flow regime becomes laminar as flow passes through mesh barrier. According to the results, the mesh barrier decreased the maximum concentration of the ammonia gas and limited the risk zone (more than 500 ppm) lower than 2 m height. Furthermore, a significant reduction occurs in the slope of the upper boundary of $NH_3$ risk zone distribution at downstream when a mesh barrier is presented. Thus, this device highly restricts the leak distribution of ammonia in the industrial plan.

본 연구는 비육돈에 대한 황토의 주성분인 zeolite의 첨가효과를 구명하기 위하여 증체량, 사료요구율, 육질, 악취제거 및 경제성 등을 조사하였으며 생후 93일령의 비육돈 120두(4처리$\time$3반복$\time$10두)를 공시하여 출하시까지 70일간 사양시험을 실시하였다. 일당증체량은 비육돈 전기의 경우 zeolite 4% 첨가구가 1.00kg으로서 대조구의 0.8kg에 비하여 약 25%로 크게 향상되었다(P<0.05). 그러나 비육돈 후기의 일당 증체량은 대조구(0.78kg)를 포함한 모든 처리구에서 0.74-0.83kg으로서 유의한 차이는 없었다. 사료요구율은 시험 전기간 동안 대조구에서는 3.43으로서 가장 높았으며, 그 다음은 zeolite 1%구와 2%로서 각각 3.24와 3.13이었으며 zeolite 3% 첨가구는 3.00으로서 약 7.4%의 개선효과가 나타났다(P<0.05). 시험 전기간 동안의 $NH_3$ 가스 발생량은 zeolite 4% 첨가구가 대조구에 비하여 약 33.9-53.9%의 개선효과가 나타났다(P<0.05). 도체중과 등지방 두께는 대조구와 zeolite 첨가구 간에 차이가 없었으며, A등급 출현율은 zeolite 4% 첨가구가 60.00%로서 대조구의 36.67%에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 경제성 분석 결과, 증체 kg당 사료비는 zeolite 4% 첨가구는 910원, 2% 첨가구는 919원, 1% 첨가구는 941원 및 대조구는 982원으로서 zeolite를 4% 첨가함으로써 개선효과가 크게 나타났다. 이상의 결과, 비육돈에 대하여 zeolite를 4% 수준으로 첨가․급여하면 사료요구율, 육질 A등급 출현율, 분내 암모니아가스 발생량 및 경제성면에서 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.
