USING CARBON DIOXIDE ANALYZER FOR MONITORING (WITH CO
2
FLUSHING)
–
OPTIONAL
8.19.1. Recommended pest reduction timeline:
a. Leave the TSL closed for 15 days at 35% CO
2
concentration (minimum) or 50% CO
2
for
10 days to eliminate insects in all life stages and achieve the best results.
8.19.2. Using the carbon dioxide analyzer:
a. Carbon dioxide levels should be
checked using the carbon dioxide
analyzer after CO
2
flushing and upon
arrival.
b. 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.
c. Close plastic valve after testing.
8.16.3. Monitoring of carbon dioxide level is recommended to ensure control of insect infestation.
Details of using the CO
2
analyzer are discussed in the analyzer’s instruction manual.
8.20.
CLOSING AND OPENING THE CONTAINER VAN
8.20.1. Close the container van carefully and be
sure not to pinch or squeeze the excess liner
material between the container doors.
8.20.2. Care should be taken when opening the
container van considering shifting of loads
while on transit. It is advised to open one side
of the door first to check the loads.
8.20.3. Unloading of the TSL
TM
Bulk is best done by tilt-trailer where unloading can be done by slitting
the bottom portion of the TSL Bulk and tilting the shipping container.
