Fumigant Monitoring With Multipoint Thermal Mass Flow Meters Provides Documented Adherence To Environmental Regulations

Preserving the quality of stored grains such as barley, hops, wheat, corn and other crops has challenged farmers and food processors for millennia. Today’s modern large grain storage facilities operated by companies around the world depend on technologically advanced fumigation systems that utilize a variety of fumigating agents, which include chemicals with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that keep insect and other pest damage low while maintaining the high quality of the stored grain product.
