HUMIDITY CONTROL SPOTLIGHT
Dehumidifi ers ensure optimal storage conditions for Emorsgate Seeds
Munters has enhanced the storage conditions for Emorsgate Seeds, the oldest and largest producer of wild seeds in the British Isles.
E
stablished in 1980, Emorsgate Seeds supplies seeds for rewilding and conservation projects across the UK, including to The National Trust
and RSPB. The business faced signifi cant challenges in maintaining optimal storage conditions for their seeds.
Humidity control is crucial for increasing seed
longevity and preventing germination during storage. Prior to the installation of Munters dehumidifi ers, seeds were stored in a repurposed meat store that struggled with moisture control, particularly on warm days. This led to unreliable storage conditions, with fl uctuating humidity levels that often failed to meet the desired standards. To address these issues, Emorsgate Seeds collaborated with Munters to install a desiccant
dehumidifi er to maintain consistent conditions of 45-50% relative humidity (RH) within a +/- 5% RH tolerance all year round. Following their relocation to a larger farm, Munters conducted a thorough survey to ensure the system remained optimal. As a result, Emorsgate installed four additional desiccant dehumidifi ers to maintain conditions across their new cold stores. Dan Campbell, project manager at Emorsgate Seeds, praised the collaboration, saying: “Munters provides a good, professional service. Working with Munters, we have been able to bring seed production and modern farming into the 21st Century. For any future investments, we will certainly be coming directly to Munters.” This partnership has ensured that Emorsgate Seeds can continue to supply high-quality seeds for vital conservation eff orts, with the confi dence that their storage conditions are reliably maintained by Munters’ advanced dehumidifi cation technology.
