Validation of FMTV Modular VHP/mVHP System and Fumigation Decontamination Process in a C-141B Starlifter Aircraft

Abstract

The C141 test was designed to further demonstrate that decontaminating substrates contaminated with chemical and biological warfare threat materials, while maintaining a near constant hydrogen peroxide/ammonia fumigant concentration (500 ppm/30 ppm) and varying exposure durations during separately timed runs, was reproducible. The test was also designed to demonstrate the ability to consistently achieve effective kills on materials contaminated with biological and chemical challenges set by the Joint Portable Interior Decontamination Program Operational Requirements Document. In addition, the next generation delivery system for vaporous hydrogen peroxide (VHP)/modified VHP (mVHP) (using a Medium Tactical Vehicle) was effective in performing the biological and chemical decontamination of a volume of 13,000 cu ft. The technical results are presented in this report.
