Instructor

The analysis of the causes originating self-heating and spontaneous combustion during maritime transportation and storage of grains and other products such as seed cake and fishmeal is presented. Heating of microbiological and chemical origin are studied along with other sources of heat such as hot surfaces on board, infestation and fumigation that can increase temperature, enhancing fat oxidation and triggering the spontaneous combustion process. A revision of the factors to determine if a lot is in the process of self-heating and in risk of spontaneous combustion is presented along with the measures to prevent it. A brief outline of firefighting grain fires is indicated. A summary of the IMSBC and IMDG regulations for the maritime transportation of seed cake, oilseeds, cereal grains and other products in bulk and bagged to prevent self-heating and spontaneous combustion is shown.

The text on-line has an indefinite duration.
