NITROGEN GENERATION FOR STORED GRAIN FUMIGATION

Creating inert atmospheres inside silos and grain bins using high purity nitrogen ensures the grain stored remains high quality and won’t fall victim to pests, mold, or spoilage. PCI’s on-site nitrogen generators produce high purity nitrogen that can effectively fumigate and protect grain stored in facilities of any size.

BENEFITS OF USING NITROGEN IN GRAIN STORAGE

  • Preserves grain quality

  • Eliminates pests

  • Stops the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, and fungi

  • Prevents spoilage resulting from oxidation

Advantages of Nitrogen

OVER TRADITIONAL FUMIGANTS

  • Non-Toxic

    Safe for human and animal consumption

  • Equipment-Friendly

    Won’t damage grain storage and transport equipment

  • Zero Trace

    Grain maintains its natural texture, taste, and appearance

  • Convenience

    Nitrogen can be generated on-site

Benefits of On-Site
Nitrogen Generation

FOR GRAIN STORAGE OPERATIONS

  • Consistency & Reliability

    Generating high-purity nitrogen on-site ensures there is always a constant supply available to keep your product protected

  • Flexibility

    Nitrogen generators can be adjusted to the purity and flow rate specifications required for different applications, so one unit can provide nitrogen for your entire storage facility

  • Cost Savings

    On-site nitrogen generation is significantly more cost effective than regularly fumigating your grain with traditional fumigants or acquiring bottled nitrogen from an industrial gas supplier

  • Convenient Supply

    Controlling your nitrogen supply eliminates cost fluctuations and production delays that may occur when relying on a nitrogen delivery or fumigation service
