Nitrogen Generator For Grain Supplier

When the nitrogen generated by the nitrogen generator is used for pest control, is there an optimal nitrogen purity range to achieve the most appropriate control effect?

In the field of grain storage, the nitrogen generator has become an important tool for effectively controlling pests and diseases and inhibiting mold growth by reducing the oxygen concentration in the grain bin. However, the purity of the nitrogen generated by the nitrogen generator has a direct impact on these two effects.

1. Nitrogen purity and pest control
Experimental data show that at a temperature of 20-29°C, when the oxygen content is less than 2%, the lethal time of pests will be significantly prolonged. This means that the higher the nitrogen purity, the lower the oxygen content in the grain bin, and the lower the survival rate of pests. But it is worth noting that the higher the nitrogen purity, the better. Although excessive purity can reduce the oxygen content faster, it will also increase equipment costs and operating costs.

2. Nitrogen purity and mold inhibition
Low oxygen environment has a significant inhibitory effect on most aerobic molds. The nitrogen generated by the nitrogen generator can reduce the oxygen concentration in the grain pile to below 2%, thereby effectively inhibiting the growth of mold. However, there is also a "threshold" for the inhibitory effect of nitrogen purity on mold. Below this threshold, increasing nitrogen purity can better inhibit the growth of mold; but after exceeding this threshold, increasing nitrogen purity on mold inhibition is no longer obvious.

3. Optimal nitrogen purity range
Combining the above analysis, we can draw a conclusion: there is an optimal nitrogen purity range for insect prevention and mold inhibition, which can not only ensure effective control of pests and mold, but also reduce equipment costs and operating costs. However, since different granaries, different types of grains, and different storage conditions may have different requirements for nitrogen purity, the optimal nitrogen purity range needs to be determined according to actual conditions.

The purity of nitrogen produced by the nitrogen generator affects the effect of insect control and mold inhibition. In practical applications, it is necessary to determine an optimal nitrogen purity range based on factors such as grain storage, grain types, and storage conditions to achieve the optimal prevention and control effect.
