Introducing FreshFlush:


Boost swine 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 into better

performance for swine farms.

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™ converts ammonia into its stable form, ammonium, before it re-enters the barns through flushing. That stabilized nitrogen reduces in-barn emissions, lowers odor, improves air quality, and supports better growth conditions for pigs.

That simple shift turns a pollutant into a usable nutrient — cutting in-barn emissions, reducing odor, and helping pigs grow faster and healthier.

Our Science

How the FreshFlush system closes the loop

A natural process proven through NASA, USDA, and DOE research — adapted for barns on Earth.

1.

Capture

Treat flush water at the source, capturing nitrogen in a controlled environment that accelerates natural processes.

2.

Convert

Ammonia is converted into stable ammonium before it can volatilize, reducing emissions and improving in-barn conditions.

3.

Recover

Water and nutrients are separated for reuse — supporting irrigation options, digester feedstock, and additional farm needs.

4.

Reuse
Treated water re-enters the system safely, lowering discharge and reducing costs cycle after cycle.

Lower mortality rates

An easy fit for existing infrastructure

FreshFlush™ integrates with existing electrical and piping systems on swine farms — no costly overhauls or chemical additives required.

Our team installs, operates, and maintains each unit, ensuring consistent performance with minimal farm disruption.

- Compatible with lagoon and digester setups
- Small footprint and low energy demand
- Maintenance handled by Pancopia technicians
- Fully monitored for reliability

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 pigs

Cleaner in-barn air reduces stress and losses, supporting faster weight gain and stronger performance.

Stronger returns

Stabilized nitrogen in flush water boosts farm productivity and may support ongoing research into biogas improvements.

Reusable water

Treated flush water supports irrigation, swine drinking water recycling, and other secondary operations, lowering water-related farm costs.
