Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OZONE TREATMENT OF GRAIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/087856
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and systems for treatment of grain for toxins, insects, mold and/or odor utilize a storage container having a grain storage space and an aeration floor that allows air to flow through the aeration floor into the grain storage space. Ozone (mixed with air) is supplied to the grain either through the aeration floor under positive pressure or above the grain with negative air pressure applied under the aeration floor. The ozone is passed into the volume of grain for a treatment time sufficient to effectively treat the grain without causing significant ozone-related commercially-objectionable foreign odors in the grain.
