    Conclusions of the Project

    Containers used were air tight after being equipped with RAZEM-I

    The RAZEM technology is capable of recovering MeBr from

    container atmospheres up to the desired target (80%)

    The recovery performance is dependant of the number of RAZEM-Cs

    used

    Using 3 RAZEM-Cs, a minimum of 1,42 g/m was achieved in thecontainer atmosphere

    The use of methyl bromide for the protection of the environment and

    public health, in combination with RAZEM meets the environmental

    goals we put forward.

    This gas must kill every pest and at least all the disease carriers without

    disturbing the logistic chain.

    But its application has to be environmental friendly (ozone layer);

    Sampling Method

    During degassing of the cartridges, a sample was taken using inert (electropolished stainless steel) canisters from the gas stream from the cartridgetowards the containers. The canisters contain 200 ml.

    Analysis Method

    The canisters were analyzed in the laboratory with a method based on EPAmethod TO-15 with ac GC-MS

    The canisters are pumped over a cold trap (glassbeadsat-50c), which isheated at 140C on injection. The mass spectrometer used is an ion trap.The limit of detection for VOCs with this method is lower than 0,1g/kgmethyl bromide(

    Results:

    The threshold concentration is not exceeded in any of the five cartridges.

    Therefore it can be said that the: Maximum impurity is: 0,4 % (4 g/kg)

    Minimum purity is: 99,4% (0,994 kg/kg)

    Fumigating needs a fraction of the energy used for heating ISPM15).

    To achieve full protection, the consignment has to be fumigated once loaded.

    Consequently, fractional treatments as HT on WPM are 100% energy waste.

    As HT develops mould in the wood, it creates a pathway for quarantine pests,

    and becomes a threat for fragile biotopes and human health.

    By recycling methyl bromide, waste does not need to be transported orincinerated, which saves energy.

    Production of methyl bromide must not increase even if QPS treatments should

    increase because of global warming effects.

    Transport of active capturing material and methyl bromide does not increase .

    But its application has to be environmental friendly (ozone layer); green houseeffect neutral; energy friendly.

    As RAZEM can heat up the circulated gas to 70c, Degassing of the goods isachieved above ambient temperature. By avoiding natural degassing

    RAZEM is not only protecting its operators but also the end-users of the

    goods they purchase

    DESCLEAN is developing a fumigation container with incorporated RAZEMprocess.

    Fumigation containers will reduce the logistic chain time by 4 days

    Automatic data logging will be available for quarantine inspectors on the container.

    Conclusions:

    Do not replace methyl bromide by another dangerous gas unless it can be captured (SF

    can not be captured), it would be a step backwards for operators and border

    inspectors. Do not replace a protective gas by bogus alternatives (Heat treatment is

    not a QPS alternative) Developing a new QPS product needs time, will we leave

    operators unprotected? Keep the positive and tackle the problems, you will keep

    know-how Quarantine HACCP inspections during loading by specialized fumigators,

    grand them a job while their know-how is kept and reduces MB use. Otherwise we

    might as well get global warming effects without global protection.
