Port-to-Port Pest Free Pledge™
COMMODITY FUMIGATION
Post harvest crop protection through the fumigation of grain, dried fruit and nuts, tobacco and many other agricultural products is one of our biggest strengths. Innovative technologies, proper use of fumigants, and precise monitoring all lead to successful pest elimination in tanks, bins, silos, chambers and warehouses.

FOOD PLANT AND SPOT FUMIGATION
Our structural fumigation expertise may be applied for entire mill, manufacturing plant and warehouse treatments. Our innovative spot applications focus just on problem areas minimizing downtime at milling, baking, processing and brewing facilities.

ORGANIC TREATMENTS
Pest infestations are of major concern in organic products. We offer several services tailored toward protecting organic commodities, including conventional fumigation treatments with Carbon Dioxide*, as well as our newest treatment process: Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is an innovative process that alters the composition of gases within a sealed package. With options for short-term treatment or long-term storage, MAP provides an environment where commodities can be protected, and their quality maintained. The two most common gases used in the MAP process are Carbon Dioxide* and Nitrogen.
Equipment:
We have partnered with vQm Packaging to provide state-of-the art equipment for easy and hassle free treatments. We are now your one-stop-shop for liners, vacuum units, and impulse sealers.
Pest Treatment:
Carbon Dioxide* is ideal for direct insect control. It’s effective, cost-efficient, and excellent for short term treatments. And the best news: it’s a perfect option for organic commodities!
Bio Conservation Treatment:
Nitrogen is perfect for long-term storage or bio-conservation, as it has no effect on the flavor or color of many treated goods. It’s important to note that, unlike Carbon Dioxide*, Nitrogen is not intended to treat existing insect infestations. The sealed liner we use in our MAP treatments acts as a barrier to future infestation and the Nitrogen alters the environment to prevent spoilage and maintain product quality.
*Use only U.S. EPA registered CO2 fumigants. Always read and follow the label.

FUMIGATION MATERIAL REMOVAL

DEGASSING SERVICES
Receiving fumigated commodities in vessels, barges and railcars can be risky business. You can count on our licensed professionals to carefully monitor the prescribed areas to ensure compliance with exposure limits, properly dispose of spent fumigant, and issue gas free certificates indicating the tested areas are deemed safe.

ABATEMENT SERVICES
Are phosphine emissions regulated in your State?
Is your warehouse or storage located in an area requiring emissions to be carefully controlled?
Does your Fumigation Management Plan (FMP) restrict aeration to property line limits?
DEGESCH America, Inc. has developed an adsorption system or “scrubber” to remove hydrogen phosphide (phosphine) from air streams, which may solve your emission problems.
How does this Catalytic Adsorption Unit (CAU) work?
The scrubber catalytically oxidizes phosphine, at low temperatures, to produce water and nonvolatile phosphates.
The unit operates by continually recycling air from within the fumigated structure, through the adsorbent and back into the structure until the phosphine levels have been reduced to a satisfactory level.
