DECONTAMINATION UNIT FOR BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL WARFARE

Abstract

A study has been made of a new system developed to update and improve biological and chemical warfare decontamination equipment. An apparatus was required to meter, mix and disperse five specified solutions in water from separate storage tanks with the relative flow rates of the fluids to be maintained with considerable accuracy. The preliminary development of a unit is described. Fabrication of the unit was not pursued because its weight and cost were large enough to suggest that the five solution decontamination mixture must be further evaluated on a laboratory scale to completely justify the necessity of this equipment.
