Electrostatic Particulate Ionization (EPI)
Licensed by USDA-ARS exclusively to BEI
for agricultural applications in the U.S., Canada and Europe

This technology is being adapted from the poultry industry
with promising results!


From ASAE Paper #034055

Electrostatic Space Charge System for Air Quality
Improvement in Broiler Production Houses

• Airborne dust reduced by 60%
• Ammonia reduced by 56%
• Total bacteria reduced by 76%

Safety: EPI technology has been shown to reduce harmful air pollutants such as dust, ammonia and pathogens in poultry areas resulting in healthier birds and providing a healthier environment


From Applied Engineering in Agriculture:
Volume 20 (1); pages 87-93


Application of An Electrostatic Space Charge System for
Dust, Ammonia and Pathogen Reduction in Broiler Breeder House

• Airborne dust reduced by 61%
• Ammonia reduced by 56%
• Total bacteria reduced by 67%

Safe: ... “simple, environmentally friendly process that is harmless to
birds and humans...”, page 88


•Negative ionization of particles in the air attracts them to a grounded surface
•High voltage, but very low amperage, uses very little electricity
•Safe: very low amperage draw may shock like an electric fence, but will not hurt people or animals




 

USDA testing indicates up to 60 - 80% reduction of dust, ammonia and pathogens!

· Particulate control = effective odor control
· Treat air exhausted vertically instead of
   horizontally
· Free-standing - no impact on building
· Improves site aesthetics
· Limited static pressure build-up on fan
· No need to boost fan horsepower
· Reduces wind interaction with fans for improved
  overall performance
· Rodent resistant design
· All steel (Allied Gatorshield™) frame
· Engineered for 130 mph winds and snow load of 20
  lbs/ft2 when installed according to engineering
  specifications
· Low maintenance:
         -External - self cleaning
         -Internal - clean as needed
· Full installation or do-it-yourself kits available
· Single or multiple fan units available
