Patent number: 9510585Abstract: A method for fumigating an enclosed space (12) comprises the steps of containing a gaseous fumigant at a discrete location within the enclosed space (12) so as to displace a volume of gas from the enclosed space, and releasing the contained fumigant from the discrete location and into the enclosed space. The method can employ an apparatus (10) that comprises a flexible enclosure (12) that is inflatable and deflatable with a gas between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The enclosure (12) can be positioned within the enclosed space (12) prior to fumigant introduction. The apparatus (10) can also comprise an inlet (16) arranged at the enclosure to receive gaseous fumigant therethrough for inflation of the enclosure (12), as well as an outlet (20) and a valve (24) arranged at the enclosure (12).Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2010Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Asiaworld Shipping Services PTY LtdInventor: Serguei Ivanine

Patent number: 8585981Abstract: The present application includes a module including a panel positionable in or at an opening of an enclosed space to define a fumigation chamber. A fumigation inlet can be arranged in the panel to allow a flow of a fumigant directly into the fumigation chamger. Mixing fans are provided that can circulate gases within the fumigation chamber. A system control box can be linked to the fumigant delivery orifice and valve system to control the flow of gas into the fumigation chamber. The panel can be secure against the passage of fumigant by a seal located around a perimeter of the panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: AsiaWorld Shipping Services, Pty Ltd.Inventor: Kenneth George Brash

Patent number: 7958698Abstract: A method of removing a residual gas from inside a conventional shipping container is disclosed. The method first involves the step of accessing the container by opening a door of the container and fitting a panel to the open door space. Next the method involves extracting at least some of the residual gas present in the container via an outlet valve located at the panel using an external suction pump. Finally the method involves providing a flow of a flushing gas into the container via an inlet valve located at the panel to flush residual gas from the container. The total pressure of gases in the container can be monitored and controlled by adjusting the flow of gases in the inlet and outlet holes or valves.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Asiaworld Shipping Services Pty LtdInventor: Kenneth George Brash

Patent number: 7682560Abstract: As shown in FIG. 1 there is one embodiment of a fumigation apparatus in the form of a module (8) including a panel (10) which can be positioned in or at an opening of an enclosed space in use to define a fumigation chamber. Fumigant inlet means in the form of an orifice (12) are arranged in the panel (10) to allow a flow of a fumigant directly into the fumigation chamber. A nominal number of mixing fans, in this case two fans (16) and (18), thoroughly circulate gases within the fumigation chamber when operating. The module (8) includes a system control box (14) linked to the fumigant delivery orifice (12) and valve system which functions to control the flow of toxic gas into the fumigation chamber. The panel (10), when positioned in use, is secure against the passage of fumigant and gases by means of an inflatable rubber seal (22) which is located around a lip edge perimeter of the panel (10).Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2001Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Asiaworld Shipping Services PtyInventor: Kenneth George Brash
