Electrostatic Decontamination System (EDS)  

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 Decontamination System (EDS)

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.
