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-N) and nitrate (NO₃-N).

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-N) and nitrate (NO₃-N).

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.

Developed and proven via national research partnerships

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Is FreshFlush™ only for swine farms?

No, FreshFlush™ is designed for all animal operations utilizing lagoon storage and flush systems. Pancopia is actively discussing opportunities with both swine and dairy producers.

How is FreshFlush™ different from what farmers already do?

FreshFlush™ is designed to improve the quality of recycled lagoon water before it returns to the barn. Rather than simply recycling lagoon water for flushing barns, the goal is to improve the quality of the flush water thus supporting cleaner barn conditions, increasing production, and capturing value from the same farm system.

What does a “no-risk demonstration” mean?

It means qualified farms can explore whether FreshFlush™ is a good fit through a clear, site-specific demonstration process before making any long-term commitment. Pancopia works with each producer in advance to define fit, expectations, and next steps so the opportunity can be evaluated with confidence.

Will FreshFlush disrupt my existing operation?

No, FreshFlush™ is designed to integrate with existing lagoon-based operations, not replace them. The system operates within the infrastructure and flow farms already use, with the goal of minimizing disruption while improving flush-water quality and farm performance. Before any demonstration moves forward, Pancopia reviews each site carefully and discusses how the system would fit into day-to-day operations so expectations are clear from the start.

What benefits should I expect from FreshFlush™?

FreshFlush™ supports cleaner barn conditions, healthier animal environments, improved production outcomes, reduced nutrient pressure, and more valuable reuse of treated water where appropriate. On some farms, the value may come mainly from production improvement; on others, the environmental and irrigation benefits may be just as important.

Will I need to operate the system myself?

No. We understand that labor is limited on many farms and that farmers already have their hands full with day-to-day operational demands. FreshFlush™ is designed to run continuously and fit within normal farm operations without creating an unnecessary management burden. Pancopia engineers will travel to your farm to perform sampling, maintenance, and inspections, as needed.

Cleaner water. Stronger farms. Profitable innovation.

FreshFlush™ is the first of Pancopia’s deployable systems designed to bring NASA-proven nitrogen management to animal agriculture.

Our goal is simple: make environmental improvement profitable for the producers who make it possible.
