Advantages of 2 Low System

100% insect mortality rate, 100% natural / organic, leaves no chemical residues,

it has no effect on flavor, odor and color, system maintenance is easy and energy efficient.

 

• Provides 100% insect mortality.
• It is a non-toxic organic application.
• Does not leave chemical residue.
• It can be used safely in nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, powders, grains, corn, fruits, vegetables, seaweed, tobacco, coffee, tea, spices and various herbs, sugar, cocoa and all kinds of dry products.
• It provides very flexible operation with small touches in project design.
• The same system can be used for various conservation/protection or fire prevention purposes, apart from the O2Low insect treatment application;
• It can handle the required number of connected volumes or O2Low treatment chambers with the central control unit and Oxygen Scrubber.
• Automation is easy to use, reports and logs are protected with high security industrial control system.
• Injection or circulation modes can be used according to the need (it is possible to save 40% energy with the appropriate method).
• Low operating cost (2 to 19 kWh for oxygen scrubber);
• It is easy to maintain and on low cost.
• System equipment and rooms are long-lasting in Accord with the use of only high-quality materials.

Comparison of the 100% natural O2Low organic method with other common methods

The most common, available alternative fumigation methods such as Methyl Bromide other than the O2Low treatment are:

Alternative fumigation techniques for insect control

Phosphine or Methyl Bromide Fumigation

Compared to O2Low

• It is less costly.
• It has a processing time almost the same as O2Low treatment.
• It is not 100% lethal.
• Insects that do not die after the application gain resistance against fumigant poisons and it becomes almost impossible to kill them with chemicals again later.
• There are risks of exposure to application gas for the operator.
• It is a fumigation made with toxic gases.
• It leaves chemical residues on food and the products where it is applied.
• Not suitable for organic product processing.
• Requires ventilation after the end of the application.
• Application time depends on temperature and humidity (RH).

CO2 High Pressure Fumigation

Compared to O2Low

• It has high investment cost.
• It has higher operating costs.
• It is a short-term application.
• Each treatment can only be processed in limited small volumes.
• Much more safety maintenance is required in the system.
• Its application and operation is not flexible.
• There are risks of exposure to application gas for the operator.
• It is not an environmentally friendly application.
• At the end of the process, CO2, which is also poisonous, is released into the atmosphere.

CO2 fumigation

Compared to O2Low

• It has high investment cost.
• It has a processing time almost the same as O2Low treatment.
• A much more complex project setup is required.
• Much more safety maintenance is required in the system.
• It has higher operating costs.
• There is limited flexibility in its operation.
• There is a risk of CO release.
• It is not an environmentally friendly application.
• At the end of the process, CO2, which is also poisonous, is released into the atmosphere.

Ozone Fumigation

Compared to O2Low:

• It has higher investment cost.
• Fumigant gas shows toxic effects in contact with people.
• It is an extremely oxidative application.
• There are risks of exposure to application gas for the operator.
• Not suitable for all products.
• It is very difficult to measure ozone gas accurately.
• Protocols are not settled well yet.
• Application technique and technology is still under development.
