Introduction
Background of Standard Revision and Technological Evolution
As the first revised version of LS/T 1213-2008, this standard mainly responds to the development needs of green grain storage technology, and focuses on adjusting the following contents:
| Revision dimensions | 2008 version | 2022 version |
|---|---|---|
| Safety management | Single clause | Independent chapter (Chapter 7) |
| Airtightness test | Original calculation method | Update Appendix B Table B.1 |
| Scope of application | Finished grain not specified | Instructions for rice application added |
Analysis of core technical requirements
1. Air tightness standard of granary
Gas-controlled silo must meet the following requirements:
- Empty silo: 500Pa→250Pa pressure half-life ≥300 seconds
- Full silo: 500Pa→250Pa pressure half-life ≥240 seconds
Test method example
The positive pressure decay test method in Appendix A is adopted, with a 700-1000Pa fan and a ±10Pa precision pressure gauge, and the lowest value is taken for judgment through three repeated tests.
2. Gas concentration control system
| Airtightness level | Pressure half-life(s) | Target concentration(%) |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | ≥360 | 60 |
| Level 2 | 240-360 | 70 |
The concentration must be maintained at 35% or above for 15 days. The weighted average concentration calculation is shown in Appendix D.
Key equipment configuration requirements
1. Gas supply system
- Storage and transportation equipment: in accordance with GB 150.1 pressure vessel standard
- Gas transmission pipeline: GB/T 8163 rust-free steel pipe
- Safety valve: GB/T 12241 standard
2. Detection system
The carbon dioxide analyzer must meet the 0-100% range and ±2% error. PE sampling tubes are prohibited.
Implementation suggestions and risk control
1. Operation process optimization
- Perform 7-point control inspection before inflation (silo roof/grain surface/upper, middle and lower layers/space/exhaust port)
- Adopt two-stage pressure reduction control (1.0±0.2MPa)
- Circulation requirement of 5 air replacement rates per hour
2. Safety protection measures
- Equip with 3 or more GB/T 16556 respirators
- When CO₂ concentration is >2%, double-person supervision is required
- Anti-freeze gloves are required for liquid CO₂ pipeline operation
Application effect evaluation indicators
| Grain types | Unit gas consumption (kg/t) | Insecticide standard |
|---|---|---|
| Rice | ≤3.0 | GB/T 29890 Insect-free grain |
| Wheat | ≤2.5 | |
| Corn | ≤2.5 | |
| Rice | ≤2.5 |
