1 IAOM 4 th Annual Southeast Asia District Conference & Expo CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE Application for Milling Industry NGUYEN VAN PHAT Technical Manager EcO 2 Vietnam phatnv@eco2.vn October 2013 EcO 2 BV The Netherlands

2 EcO 2 Introduction International company since 2000 active in non-toxic pest control Since 2010 is part of Control Union In house specialists of the climate control & fumigation engineering in combine with entomology Techniques developed in co-operation with TNO (National Org.for Applied Scientific Research) Providing pest control service by installing service centres & jobs, offering treatment technologies Providing installations for pest control on site (end-users, warehousing) All pest control technologies are green technologies The EcO 2 mission is: To control vermin effectively and efficient with the help of environmental friendly and innovative techniques, as a world wide reliable partner in the customer s logistical process

3 Controlled Atmosphere Characteristics Physical process for fumigation, alternative for chemical Control Oxygen level < 1% Control temperature, humidity (with EcO 2 Room) Needs gastight facilities (chamber, silo or container) Nitrogen is commonly used.

4 Advantage Killing rate 99,997% adults, larvae, pupae and eggs No residue No resistance 100% organic No product discoloration Preventative and curative Small and large batches Cost effective Environment friendly Safe for people/employee Fit within logistic chain

5 Application in Milling Industry Fumigation in silo at farm/growers Fumigation in silo at storage terminal or milling factory Fumigation/Preservation for storage flour and finish products Raw wheat storage Milling Flour storage/ buffer Packaging Finish product storage

6 Controlled Atmosphere for Silo Principle

7 Controlled Atmosphere in Silo Practical hurdles Type of construction of silos Airtight-ness of silo (pressure test) Indoor or outdoor position Influence of the sun/weather Filling rate of silo Available power/electricity

8 Controlled Atmosphere in Milling Factory Silo Sealing technology Minimum acceptable half-life pressure in 2 minute Sealing can be used for up to 10years

9 Controlled Atmosphere in Farm Silo Low investment cost with small machine Maintain quality right after harvesting No moisture problem Cost up to less than 1USD per ton Suitable with electrical power availability (single phase)

10 Controlled Atmosphere in Farm Silo Australia example Treatment/storage duration: 30 days to 6 months at 1% O2 with ESI4 machine 1,000 ton silo with no extra sealing required Automatic control, remotely monitored and historical data logged Insect free after 6 months storage Cost effective Less cost effective during winter time

11 Controlled Atmosphere in Milling Factory Silo High operating turnover Treatment capacity up to 500,000 ton per year with one machine Cost as low as 0.6USD per ton all-in More gastight silo, less operating cost Higher weather temperature, shorter treatment duration High investment cost (can be solved with leasing concept)

12 Controlled Atmosphere in Milling Factory Silo Cyprus example Treatment duration: 13 days to 24 days 2,000 ton to 2,500 ton silos Half life pressure in 2 minutes gastight-ness (low gastight) Grain temperature from 22 0 C to 26 0 C Energy cost 0.2 Euro per KWh 0.8 Euro per ton cost all-in (40% from energy, 60% from equipment)

13 Controlled Atmosphere in Chamber For finish products Treatment duration: 3 days to 7 days (with EcO 2 Rapid Treatment) Temperature controlled Optional humidity controlled Chamber capacity can be varied from 5 ton up to 1,000 ton per chamber Can easily be integrated to processing with customized chamber dimensions Low energy cost (due to very airtight chamber) High investment can be solved by leasing concept

14 Advantage of CA for Milling Industry and for Southeast Asia Cost effective due to bulk handling Silo storage facility available Short treatment time due to tropical temperature Lower energy consumption and energy price Higher turnover in equipment Low equipment installation and operating cost

15 Non-Toxic Fumigation: EcO 2 Technologies Controlled Atmosphere (based on low-oxygen for the treatment of food commodities) Modified Atmosphere (based on inert gas, on-site treatment) Heat treatment (based on heat) EcO 2 QPS Treatment (based on heat and low-oxygen before shipping) Controlled Atmosphere can be applied in: Airtight chambers Silo s Barges, bulk carriers

16 Insect control using Controlled Atmosphere Custom-made system based on low oxygen to control insects in every life stage An optimal environment is created with temperature and humidity; a low oxygen regime kills the insects. Total control of O 2, temperature and humidity Working with the EcO 2 Oxygen Converter System; a generator based system. Remotely controlled, via the computer and internet. All data will be kept for at least 2 years. Traceability of products.

17 How the EcO 2 Control Centre works Online control of treatments and parameters (by , internet, mobile phone), each user has only to fill the silo and has his own treatment info page. Issue of treatment certificates and quality marks Database of parameters to control insects in every stage Data recording - traceability

18 Worldwide EcO 2 facilities Since 2010 is EcO 2 a part of Control Union Australia Austria Belgium Bolivia France Germany Greece India Indonesia Italy Ivory Coast Japan Malaysia Singapore Switzerland The Netherlands The Philippines Tunisia Turkey Uganda United Kingdom United States of America Vietnam
