At Seva Facility Services Pvt. Ltd., we understand how crucial it is to keep your goods safe from pests, especially when they're destined for international markets.
Fumigation with Methyl Bromide (MBR) is one of the most effective methods we use to ensure your cargo arrives in top condition. Adhering to NSPM-11 and NSPM-12 guidelines, we ensure that MBR is used responsibly and effectively. Although MBR is powerful and efficient, it requires careful handling. Let us guide you through the process in straightforward terms.
Gets the Job Done: MBR is highly effective against a broad range of pests, including insects, termites, and rodents, ensuring your goods are pest-free.
Export Requirement: Many countries require MBR fumigation for imported goods. It’s a critical step in complying with international trade regulations.
Check the Area: We start by ensuring the area around the stack is safe and the materials are properly arranged.
Room for Fans: Adequate space is left for fans, which help distribute the gas evenly throughout the stack.
Install Monitors: We set up monitoring lines to track the gas concentration, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Cover and Seal: The stack is covered and sealed tightly with sandbags to prevent any gas leaks.
Heat the Vaporizer: We heat the vaporizer until the water reaches over 65°C, optimizing the effectiveness of the MBR gas.
Insert the Gas: MBR gas is carefully introduced into the stack. We continually check for any leaks to maintain safety.
Check After 1 Hour: We review the gas levels after one hour to ensure proper dispersion.
Check After 24 Hours: A follow-up check the next day confirms that the fumigation process is on track.
Remove the Cover: The cover is removed, allowing any residual gas to dissipate safely.
Final Safety Check: We ensure that all the gas has been cleared and the area is safe for handling.
Your cargo represents a significant investment.
MBR fumigation ensures that pests don’t cause damage or lead to financial losses.

Safety Equipment: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and gloves to avoid exposure to the gas.
Ventilation:Adequate ventilation is crucial to dissipate any residual gas safely after fumigation.
Gas Monitoring: Regularly monitor gas levels throughout the process to ensure that concentrations remain within safe limits.
Emergency Procedures: Have clear emergency procedures in place for dealing with accidental exposure or gas leaks.
