Low oxygen
An aerobic bacterium needs oxygen for its metabolism and causes a lot of damage. By expelling oxygen in an airtight space where goods are stored in bulk, many vermin suffocate. Our nitrogen generator produces very high purity nitrogen and thus brings the oxygen level in a closed space to a low level. Tests show that our LOX method is sufficient and suffocates present micro-organisms such as gall mites, narcissus mites, pot worms and wireworms in these conditions.
What are the advantages of the low oxygen treatment?
Our LOX (Low Oxygen) method has a number of advantages:
Completely organic
Leaves no residue on the product
On-site nitrogen production and therefore not location-bound
Treatment in bulk possible
The technique of expelling oxygen with nitrogen is our core business. Our nitrogen generator uses Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. This involves the separation of nitrogen and oxygen by binding the oxygen molecules to a molecular carbon sieve: the Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS).
We developed a completely new system based on the existing PSA technology: High Performance – PSA. This eliminates the disadvantages of a traditional PSA system. Our HP technology distinguishes itself by an optimized air flow in the system. But also by a unique pressure system for the active carbon.
The major advantage of the HP-PSA technology is the energy saving in particular. When you compare this with membrane technology, an energy saving of 40 to 50% can be achieved!
