| EDS
is a rugged, portable system for decontamination of chemical and
biological warfare agents.
EDS is modular; comprising a delivery system, activation system
and cart.
The delivery system uses electrostatic spray technology to optimize
the transfer of decontaminant to where it's needed--complex surfaces
and particles suspended in the air. |

| Electrostatic Spray:
The use of electrostatic spray technology offers significant advantages
over conventional spraying.
- The gentle spray combined with the mild charge of the droplets
prevents reaerosolization of agent.
- The mild charge of the droplets also causes a "wrap-around"
effect, thereby improving coverage over complex surfaces and delivering
decontaminant to places that are out of the line-of-sight.
- The electrostatics also greatly improve transfer efficiency
which delivers more decontaminant where you want it and produce
less run-off.
UV Light (Optional):
For biological decontamination, the optional use of the high-intensity
UV light greatly accelerates kill of biological agents and their
DNA.
Technical and Operational
Highlights:
The EDS offers several features making it attractive to the military
and civilian first-responder markets.
- Ruggedness: The EDS and its modules are built
for rough handling and transportation, passing rigorous testing,
including curb impact, drop (2ft.) and handling over 30 flights
of stairs.
- Reliability, Availability and Maintainability:
The EDS hardware is proven to be highly reliable and ready for
use. All field maintenance procedures can be performed quickly
by operators in full protective gear.
- Rapid Set-Up: The EDS can be set up for operation
in less than 5 minutes.
- Single Operator: EDS was designed for one operator.
Its lightweight, man-portable design makes it easy for a single
operator to effectively use the delivery system (sprayer).
Other Technical Information:
- Treatment rate at ~6 sq.m/min
- Transfer Efficiency up to 85%
The Delivery System can be purchased separately
and used as a stand-alone system. |
