Nitrogen Use in Fumigation Systems
Fumigation is a gas based protection process applied in warehouses, silos, containers, and various enclosed spaces to exterminate harmful insects, larvae, and microorganisms. While chemical gases are traditionally preferred in fumigation applications, nitrogen gas has emerged as an important alternative in modern systems due to its residue-free nature, health benefits and environmental friendliness.
Why is Nitrogen Used in Fumigation?
Purpose of nitrogen is to reduce oxygen levels in the environment to a level that is unsuitable for the survival of harmful organisms. Depending on the type of pest being targeted, additional parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and carbon dioxide levels may also need to be controlled.
How to Start:
First of all, type of pest to be controlled should be identified. Then, required environmental conditions (oxygen level, humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, fumigation duration, etc.) for extermination should be determined. In this regard, studies of universities and research institutions can be used as reference. ÖZAK GAS TECHNOLOGIES is also ready to support you with its know-how.
Main Application Areas:
- Grain silos (wheat, corn, rice, barley)
- Legume storage facilities (lentils, chickpeas, beans)
- Dried food and nut stores
- Food transportation containers
- Wooden packaging and export packaging applications
- Libraries
- Museums
Nitrogen Supply:
In fumigation systems, required nitrogen can be purchased ready-made (gas or liquid), or it can be produced on-site using a suitable ÖZAK NITROGEN GENERATOR, thereby benefiting from low cost and supply security advantages.
ÖZAK GAS TECHNOLOGIES aspires to be your reliable solution partner for the design and installation of nitrogen and fumigation systems tailored to your needs.
