Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02074349A1] A gaseous blend of CO2 and Ox and a method for applying a continuous stream of a gaseous blend of CO2 and Ox to a material are disclosed. The gaseous blend and the method significantly reduce the biological load on consumer products, such as food products, botanicals and cosmetic ingredients; in building structures; on transportation containers; and in soil. A shipping container (1) taht is covered with an O3-resistant tarpaulin (2). The shipping container (1) contains material (3) to be treated. The shipping container (1) is connected via piping and approprated control valves to a Ox generator (4) at one end and to a destruct unit (5) at another. A first fan (6) is employed to draw gas from the Ox generator (4) into the shipping container (1). A second fan (6') is employed to draw gas from the shipping container (1) to the destruct unit (5). A gas analyzer (7) is employed to determine the concentration of O3 in the shipping container (1).
