Designed for cold chain environments where freshness, shelf life, and sustainability are critical. DCL’s catalytic ethylene removal system actively eliminates ethylene gas emissions from climacteric fruits, reducing premature ripening during storage and transport.
Ethylene (C₂H₄) is a natural plant hormone that accelerates ripening in fruits like apples, bananas, and pears. During long-distance shipping or storage, ethylene buildup leads to faster spoilage, shrinkage, and food waste. DCL’s proprietary catalyst removes ethylene from the air without chemicals, sprays, or manual intervention—preserving fruit quality and extending shelf life.
Low-Temperature Performance
Operates effectively at 4°C in refrigerated and high-humidity environments without compromising performance.
Self-Regenerating Catalyst
Regenerates automatically using ambient air or waste heat from refrigeration systems—no external energy input or maintenance required.
Seamless Integration
Compact and modular design fits into existing cold storage rooms, reefer trailers, and controlled atmosphere containers.
DCL’s ethylene removal system eliminates the need for 1-MCP
(1-methylcyclopropene), ethylene absorbers, and chemical sprays and coatings. Those methods take up space, generate waste, and are not certified for organic produce handling. DCL’s catalyst is non-toxic, non-invasive, and requires minimal power and service.
Nearly 13.2% of global food waste occurs during fruit transport and storage. DCL’s ethylene removal catalyst addresses this challenge with a passive, energy-free solution that supports global sustainability goals. By slowing ripening and reducing spoilage, DCL helps unlock new possibilities for food security and supply chain efficiency.
