SOIL STERILISATION SYSTEMS

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the use of steam as a solution for soil sterilization, ensuring compliance with biosecurity and organic standards. The system effectively destroys insects, larvae, pathogens, cryptogamic diseases, weeds, seeds, and roots, while enhancing soil quality and improving crop germination.

Steam Sterilisation Systems
The core of the system is the mobile ABAV steam generators, which deliver steam at temperatures between 70 to 90°C to eliminate pathogens and pests. The steam superheater module increases steam temperature to 170-185°C, allowing for dry steam application over long distances. Pre-heating of feed water reduces energy consumption and thermal constraints.

ABAV Steam Generators
These generators feature a two-stage burner and a control system for energy efficiency and consistent steam quality. They are constructed from high-quality steel, surpassing international safety standards, and include inspection hatches for maintenance. Fuel options include fuel-oil, diesel-oil, or gas burners.

Operational Accessories
Accessories include steam-resistant plastic sheeting, sheet rollers, and various cloche covers for different application sizes. Mobile fuel tanks are available with capacities of 1000 or 2000 liters.

Operational Examples
The system provides a safe, environmentally friendly method for soil disinfection, leaving no toxic residues. Disinfection depths vary based on the method used, with options for surface and in-depth treatment.

Specifications
The document lists specifications for various ABAV models, detailing steam production, operation pressure, fuel consumption, disinfection area, dimensions, weight, and electric current requirements.

SOIL STERILISATION SYSTEMS-2

ABAV Steam generators The mobile ABAV steam generators lie at the heart of our Steam Sterilisation Systems. They safely and conveniently deliver steam at sufficient temperatures (generally 70 to 90 C) to destroy all pathogenic bacteria, seeds, larva etc in the soil. All models are equippped with a STEAM SUPERHEATER module which enables the steam to be heated to temperatures of between 170 and 185 C. The resulting DRY STEAM can be utilized over long distances from the steam generator and in many applications. All feed water entering the steam generator is passed through a pre-heating chamber....
