Witt can assist in fighting bird flu

In order to gas contaminated poultry reliably a constant 80 per cent CO2 concentration is required for at least 30 minutes. In an agricultural environment it is nearly impossible to find a completely hermetically sealed room from which no gas can escape.

The PA CO2 Analyser can assist by analysing the gas concentration in the
ambient air in the room where the slaughter is taking place and if the CO2 concentration reduces, more gas can immediately be pumped in.
