Introducing FreshFlush:


Boost animal productivity by improving flush water quality

FreshFlush™ is Pancopia’s first deployable water and nitrogen management system for animal agriculture. It helps producers recover value from every gallon of flush water — improving air quality, reducing losses, and strengthening overall farm productivity.

Our Mission

Turning flush water improvements into increased animal productivity for animal agriculture operations using lagoons

THE PROBLEM

Ammonia losses cost producers every day

Ammonia in flush water reduces in-barn air quality, stresses animals, corrodes equipment, and lowers production efficiency.

Across the U.S., animal agriculture generates five to ten times more nutrient waste than municipal systems — and much of that nitrogen is lost before it can support productivity.

OUR SOLUTION

Recover nitrogen, improve performance

FreshFlush breaks the cycle of contamination by producing high-quality flush water that actively supports herd health. Stabilized nitrogen reduces in barn emissions, lowers odor, improves air quality, and supports better growth conditions for the animals.

Our Science

How the FreshFlush system closes the loop

FreshFlush™ accelerates the nitrification process to reduce ammonia-nitrogen
(NH3-N) in the recycled stream, transforming ammonia into oxidized forms of
nitrogen, nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3).

The Wasted Resource: Excess Nitrogen

In lagoon flush systems, nitrogen in the recycled flush water cycles back through barns. When ammonia nitrogen is high, it shows up as in barn odor and air quality pressure.

Where FreshFlush™ Intervenes

FreshFlush™ treats recycled lagoon water before it returns to the barn for flushing. That’s the control point where improving water quality has the biggest impact on animal health and productivity.

What the Biology is Doing

FreshFlush™ accelerates the nitrification process to reduce ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) in the recycled stream, transforming ammonia into oxidized forms of nitrogen, nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3).
Less ammonia in the barn

Three ways it pays for itself

Technology that improves performance and pays for itself by turning today’s waste into tomorrow’s usable resources.

Healthier animals

A cleaner in-barn environment reduces animal stress and losses, supporting faster weight gain and stronger production performance.

Improved Returns

FreshFlush™ boosts overall farm productivity through a profit-driven approach.

Unlocked Value

Treated flush water supports reuse in irrigation for cash crops and other secondary farm operations.
