Fumigation & degassing in containers
Metal containers are usually used to transport export and import freights, because it is a practical and a convenient way of storing and transportation of products.
When crossing state borders, products in containers are subject to an obligatory treatment with special agents, in order to eliminate the possibility of pests occurring and to prevent their spreading.
Products, subject to an obligatory treatment in containers: agricultural, wooden and industrial products and wooden containers for transportation of these products in containers.
Fumigation inside containers is usually carried out using phosphine, the most wide-spread fumigant in the Russian Federation.
Gaseous fumigant is able to diffuse inside a container and treat the products by killing harmful organisms. Phosphine blocks oxygene consumption by microorganisms inside a container, leading to their death within 3-5 days.
High-level hermeticity is essential for a quality treatment.
