HDS USA, LLC, Reserve, LA, announced June 21 it has completed the purchase of Dr. Jeremiah Sullivan's ownership position in Fosfoquim USA, Inc.

Sullivan is president of Sullivan & Associates, Harrisonburg, VA.

HDS USA Partners Jeff Coleman and Jay Coleman will join Dr. Franciskus Horn of Fosfoquim S.A., Padra Hurtado, Santiago, Chile as owners of Fosfoquim USA, which is responsible for the marketing, sales, and service of the Horn Diluphos Systems(TM) (HDS) fumigation applciation technology in the United States.

As part of the ownership change, Fosfoquim USA, Inc. has moved its headquarters from Harrisonburg, VA, to its new base in Reeserve, LA.

The Horn Diluphos System is a revolutionary fumigation application technology that safely and effectively blends pure cylinderized phosphine (Vaporph3os - Cytec Industries, Inc.), directly with air to safe and effective level below the lower flammability limit (LFL), allowing it;s duirect injection from outside of the targeted structure without risk of ignition.

This unique introduction of phosphine avoids the potentially unsafe confined space entry usually required to apply the residue—producing solid metal phosphide formuations (tablets, pellets, and dust retaining packing products).

There are not residues generated in the HDS application, neither solid nor liquid that would require the potential deactivation and/or disposal procedures and issues associated with solid metal phosphide products.

There are no environmental hazards as only hydrogen phosphide is applied, which is readily deactivated by sunlight upon ventilation into the atmosphere.

There are no ammonia or CO2 emissions.

The system relies on several safety mechanisms which have been proven safe and effective, even in serious incidents such as the loss of electrical power during the applciation procedure.

The Horn Diluphos System fumigation application technology has been widely tested and proven in applications to multiple storage facilities and structures, food processing mills, warehouses, flat houses, sea containers, silo bins, steel tanks, ground piles, fumigation chambers, and various other structures in the fumigation of raw agricultural commodities, processed foods, animal feed and feed ingredients, as well as to nonfood ingredients such as wood, dunnage, cotton, and tobacco.

The HDS equipment has been utilized in over 8,000 fruit fumigations in Chile with great success.

The HDS is widely used in Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, Uruguay, and the United States.

There are currently four models of the HDS equipment that are configured to meet most fumigation size and application requirements.
