Fumigation Methods
We are using customized methods for river units/sea-going vessels:
Fumigation in-transit by probing (passive method): Aluminium phosphide pellets/tablets are scattered evenly on top of the cargo or probed approximately half a meter into it.
Fumigation in-transit by sleeves (passive method): Aluminium phosphide pellets/tablets are placed inside retrievable parcels that leave no powdery residue on the cargo and can be easily removed upon discharge.
Fumigation in-transit by re-circulation system - including Detia Degesh patented J-System (active method): This fumigation re-circulation system is set before the loading and consists of flexible perforated pipes that provide uninterrupted circulation of solid fumigant gas inside the holds. Unlike the passive method during which gas-aerial mixture on the surface of grain gradually penetrate the lowest level, this active method makes it possible to save considerable time and increases the fumigation effectiveness due to even gas allocation into all grain cargo levels. This method is recommended for vessels that have holds depth in excess of 10 meters. On customer requirements (or discharge port authority requirements), the recirculation system can be fixed in any kind of vessel, going to any country of destination.
