The infestation of wood pests and dry rot present an increasingly great challenge, not only for museums and church communities, but for cities and individuals as well. We, as the IRT in Lippstadt, have made it our responsibility to find an ecological and effective solution for every problem of this kind. Through our special thermal treatment, we can ensure the killing of animal pests at every stage, i.e. as an egg, the larva and the beetle, as well as the controlling of dry rot.

During thermal treatment, the objects are carefully heated until a temperature of 55°C is reached in the core. This type of treatment can be performed on movable goods through a stationary or mobile chamber system. Buildings or parts of it can be treated on site through special multi-stage burner techniques, which reach the required temperatures, even in the thermally most unfavourable places.
