b. Succeeding monitoring should be
done twice a week. Carbon dioxide
level may go down by several percent
but must not approach 0%. Check for
any source of leak or damage. Sealing
is probably compromised, and the
commodity may not be adequately
protected.
5.8.3. When carrying-out a CO
2
treatment, the approximate CO
2
concentrations can be determined
by measuring CO
2
concentrations using the carbon dioxide analyzer.

USING GRAINPRO ECOWISE FOR WIRELESS MONITORING
The GrainPro® EcoWiSe
TM
is a wireless sensing system designed to remotely monitor the
environment within a hermetic storage unit in real time. The sensor collects and sends out data
such as relative humidity (%RH), temperature (°C) and CO
2
levels (%) to a receiver that is
connected to a computer. The software transmits the information via the Internet to designated
users who can monitor the data on their computers or smartphones.
5.9.1. EcoWiSe Standard monitors RH and
temperature
5.9.2. EcoWiSe Plus provides data on RH,
temperature and CO
2
levels.
5.9.3. Details of using wireless monitoring are discussed in the EcoWiSe instruction manual.
5.10. DISMANTLING
5.10.1 Although CO
2
is not toxic, it is an asphyxiant gas and it is advisable to unzip the Cocoon
Indoor and wait until most of the CO
2
has dispersed.
5.10.2 Although the Cocoon Indoor may be progressively filled over several days as the commodity is
harvested and provided they have the same moisture content, it is not recommended to top-up
a Cocoon Indoor that is still partially filled from a previous harvest, with commodity brought in
from the new harvest. This is because when the new commodity is tapped from top, the old
commodity from the previous harvest is left at the bottom.
