[QUOTE="George Monk, post: 445803, member: 3545"] My guess is that lime in a lagoon is not reacting with the nitrogen but probably an acid like sulfuric acid. the Calcium hydroxide in the lime converts the acid to water. I wonder if the smell comes more from sulfur or hydroden than anything to do with nitrogen. :?: The calcium will also replace metal compounds and make those metals settle out in the sludge. (i think) :| [/QUOTE]
