BioSafe Systems

Thermal Fogging Program

BioSafe Systems’ thermal fogging program offers control reliability, effectiveness and the added benefit of extended storability for onions. By fogging with StorOx 2.0 and/or SaniDate 5.0, the chemical compounds become part of the water vapor and are carried up through the onions, reacting with bacterial and fungal organisms. This application penetrates every nook and cranny of the pile, thoroughly enveloping it. Intermittent applications during storage can reduce the incidence and severity of storage losses from common pathogens.

 

Jet Harvest Solutions

Jet-Ag

Jet-Ag’s original and unique patented formulation and process superheats and produces a thermal fog, which creates a vapor that permeates throughout the storage facility.

The patented technology utilizes the free radicals generated from superheated Jet-Ag into super microbial oxides which kills all microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and algae such as bacterial soft rot pathogens, Botrytis and black mold.

Jet-Ag also has a desiccant effect which creates a curative effect on the onion bulb in storage to help control disease. Jet-Ag can be applied at any time, but ideally upon completed storage of onions. Jet Harvest Solutions and Industrial Ventilation (IVI) offer application of this cost-effective treatment.
