A gas permeable membrane comprising a thin polymeric coating on a microporous backing, said gas permeable membrane being permeable permitting for oxygen and carbon dioxide at different flow rates, wherein the gas permeable membrane is made from a copolymer of a polyether and a polyamide enables the achievement of a controlled atmosphere in a cargo region, wherein the membrane is able to obtain and hold low concentrations of carbon dioxide and of oxygen in the atmosphere in the cargo region and to produce an 'ideal' or optimum storage atmosphere which will ensure a retardation of respiratory activity within the container.
The invention relates to an apparatus for controlling the composition of gases within a cargo container. The apparatus includes at least one sensor, at least one controller and at least one gas permeable membrane being adapted to facilitate the passage there through of different parts of gasses at different rates. A first region and a second region, the first region being for holding cargo and the second region defining a gas buffer region, said at least one inlet and/or outlet being in communication with said buffer region, said membrane being adapted to allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to flow through it, provided that the direction of the flow of oxygen is opposite that of the carbon dioxide, wherein the membrane has a permeability for carbon dioxide, which is at least eight times higher than the permeability for oxygen. The invention further relates to a method.
