Key points
– Existing back-pressure data for aerating grain was largely developed in the Northern Hemisphere via studies that date back as far as the 1950s
– Flow rates vary depending on the back pressure exerted by different grain and storage systems
– A prototype test rig is under development to enable testing of local storage systems
