Controlled Environment Facility for Development of Military Rations

Abstract

The U.S. Army Natick Laboratories has designed and built a controlled environment facility to develop special rations under virtually germ-free conditions. Airborne contamination is removed by a unique application of absolute filters with the filtered air being focused on the food whenever it is handled. The facility covers 1000 square feet of floor area and was erected and completely equipped at a cost of $90,900. A 4000 square foot mezzanine was installed at a cost of $25,000 to provide the necessary floor area.
