Gas gauging containers
Poisonous gasses are most often found in containers from non-European countries. For the safety of both your staff as well as ours, gas gauging is standard procedure. Before we unload, our gas gauging specialists use high-quality measurement systems to determine whether or not a container contains poisonous gasses. If not, our staff can safely unload the goods from the container.
Degassing
If the gas measurement indicates that a container contains poisonous gasses or fumes, we must degas it first. This can be done in two ways: by natural ventilation, or with special degassing doors. Natural ventilation means we simply open the doors. This method is suitable for natural gasses such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide. The second method is mechanical degassing, using degassing doors. A ventilation system drives fresh air into a sealed container. The mechanical method is faster, which leads to quicker unloading. When a container is free of gas, our staff can safely unload your goods.
