PREDICTING SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IN GRAIN PRODUCTION AND USE OF GAS ANALYZERS TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Spontaneous combustion of grain products can occur due to improper storage or handling. This can occur due to the presence of high humidity, the presence of vegetable oils or vegetable oil residues on the grain, and also due to incorrect storage temperature. To detect and prevent possible spontaneous combustion in grain production, special equipment is used, such as thermometers to control temperature, humidity sensors, ventilation systems, oxygen meters and monitoring systems that help monitor storage conditions of grain products.

The choice of specific measuring instruments depends on the specifics of grain production, the type of equipment used and the size of the production premises. This article discusses how to achieve the best results to prevent spontaneous combustion in grain production.
