Atomization system for odor and environmental control in livestock holding areas

An atomization system for controlling the environment in a livestock storage facility, including:

• a reservoir capable of holding a sufficient quantity of an odor control product, wherein the odor control product includes a mixture of a vegetable oil, a natural acidic compound, alcohol, and water;
• a pump in communication with the reservoir;
• a connecting line connecting the pump with the reservoir;
• a circulation loop running throughout the livestock storage facility and communicating with the pump and the reservoir;
• a plurality of atomization nozzles connected with the circulation loop for distribution of the odor control product onto surfaces of the storage facility and the livestock;
• a bypass loop having:
• a ball valve inserted into the circulation loop prior to a connection between the circulation loop and the reservoir;
• a bypass line connected with a first area of the circulation loop prior to the ball valve and extending to a second area of the circulation loop near the connection of the circulation loop with the pump;
• a check valve in the bypass line;
• and
• wherein the ball valve is closed to separate the circulation loop from the reservoir;
• a water pump connected with the circulation loop;
• and
• a water supply line connected with the water pump.

A method controlling the environment in a livestock storage facility, including the steps of:

• blending an odor control product from a mixture of a vegetable oil, a natural acidic compound, alcohol, and water;
• providing a supply of the odor control product;
• pumping the odor control product through a circulation loop running through the livestock storage facility;
• and
• atomizing the odor control product through a plurality of atomization nozzles connected with the circulation loop onto livestock and surface areas in the storage facility.
