Traditionally, Methyl bromide is used to control pest in aeroplanes.
However Methyl Bromide is a highly toxic ozone depleting substance.
Inhalation of Methyl Bromide can be deadly and therefor the
gas can only be used with a distance requirement of 100 meters.
Besides this, the residues remain on the products, which can
cause cancer and affects the quality of rubber. As from 1
January 2005 the use of Methyl Bromide is forbidden following
the Montreal Protocol in which worldwide agreements are made
to prohibit the use of ozone depleting substances.
EcO2 is specialized in non-toxic pest
control techniques which have been proven to be extremely
effective and environmental friendly. The techniques have
many advantages in relation to toxic chemicals.
Modified Atmosphere
Modified Atmosphere is a technique, which was specifically
developed to control rats and mice in for example aeroplanes.
The Modified Atmosphere uses an inert gas, which is pumped
in the aeroplane at a high speed, which makes it impossible
for rats and mice to escape. At once, the vermin is killed
without building up resistance of the vermin and without causing
any damages. The technique also has a short treatment period.
Within 6 hours the aeroplane is treated, vermin free and ready
to take off.
Combination of Modified Atmosphere and Heattreatment:
A combination of Modified Atmosphere and Heattreatment is
used to control insects, rats and mice in contaminate aeroplanes.
Besides the inert gas of the Modified Atmosphere, the temperature
is increased inside the object. The air humidity is closely
monitored during the entire treatment and when necessary adjusted.
Dependent on the contamination and the size of the object,
the duration of the treatment is 4 to 10 hours.
The EcO2
techniques comply
with the
regulations of Boeing. |

The Modified Atmosphere technique has been proven to be
extremely efficient. Therefor the Dutch government called
on EcO2 to control the Avian Influenza
(bird flu).
Heattreatment
Heattreatment, a technique that is based on heat technology,
is used to control insects in aeroplanes. The technique makes
the use of toxic pesticides or methyl bromide unnecessary.
Mobile equipment is placed in the contaminated aeroplane and
the temperature is increased. The humidity level is closely
monitored during the entire treatment to prevent any damages
to the object. The duration of the treatment varies between
4 to 8 hours, depending on the size of the object. The short
treatment time is a significant reduction in time compared
to traditional fumigation.
ADVANTAGES EcO2 TECHNIQUE:
- The treatment can take place inside in the hangar
as well as outside in the open air.
- Maintenance can take place at the outside of the aeroplane
during the EcO2 treatments.
Through the development of these environmental friendly
and highly efficient techniques, aeroplanes are ready to take
off again in just a few hours, without any risk for personnel,
customers and the environment. |
