2 Intelagard s Multi-Use, Solution-Neutral Compressed Air Foam Technology Consider Intelagard s solution neutral applicator systems a single, scalable and tailorable system capable of dealing with multiple threats reduces your procurement and life-cycle costs without compromising effectiveness. What if there was a single applicator system suitable for mitigating multiple hazards? How much time and money would you save? In a resource constrained environment you need to make the most of every dollar and every minute. Intelagard s solution-neutral multi-hazard response systems can help you optimize your response capabilities while minimizing procurement and life-cycle costs. Your Intelagard applicator provides you with a simple yet effective single system that is capable of applying chemistries that are best suited to the threats you face chemical and biological decontamination/disinfecting operations, fire suppression, and HAZMAT response are all achievable with any Intelagard applicator. Consequence management is defined as those measures taken to protect public health and safety, restore essential services, and provide emergency relief to governments, businesses, and individuals affected by the consequences of a chemical, biological, nuclear, and/or high-yield explosive situation. That s a lot to expect of a local emergency responder with so many threats to plan against it makes sense to seek out response equipment capable of fulfilling multiple roles in a consequence management scenario Autumn 2011 CBRNe WORLD 91

Rapid Airborne and Surface Decontamination Solutions PDX CBRN decontamination technology provides rapid combined airborne and surface decontamination solutions. PDX Atomisation technology surpasses current aerosol technology by generating a high flux of extremely small droplets. The turbulent gas-like properties of the fine mist ensures that an even distribution and consistent surface coverage is maintained for all line of sight and non-line of sight surfaces. This latter capability affords efficient decontamination against all chemical, biological and radiological threats. For soil remediation PDX's Reactor technology utilises a supersonic vapour flow and condensation shockwave, which is generated by the injection of high velocity steam. Steam is introduced into the Reactor at supersonic conditions generating high levels of shear and turbulence within the process fluid. This leads to the creation of a controllable, cross bore condensation shockwave suitable for disrupting contaminated soil structures and exposing biological pathogens in a single pass. These mechanisms provide a number of fluid processing effects which can be used for biological soil remediation using low level chemical dosing. RAPID AIRBORNE AND SURFACE DECONTAMINATION SOLUTIONS Germfree builds mobile laboratories into military vehicles, shipping containers and commercial vehicles.
