Grain monitoring with gas analysis
A new all-in-one technology from iGRAIN
Read Biochemist Peer Hansen's editorial about the evolution of silo monitoring from meassuring temperature only to advanced gas analysis. Temperature monitoring of stored grain has been regarded adequate for safe storage of grain for more than 70 years. Although temperature monitoring might assist safe storage, it is by far not an ideal way to monitor grain, as grain itself is very heat insulating. The superior alternative to temperature monitoring is application of gas analysis in the grain monitoring process. Monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2) levels allows early detection of spoilage and pests in stored grain.
