Mass decontamination (abbreviated mass decon) is the decontamination of large numbers of people, in the event of industrial, accidental, or intentional contamination by toxic, infective, caustic, polluted, or otherwise unhealthful or damaging substances. Compact and quick to deploy, the inflatable Mass Decontamination Unit from MAAN defence helps during rapid response in a decontamination situation.
Fully inflatable, the Decontamination Unit can be set up in a matter of minutes, and will stay put without
requiring any continuous inflation. With no mechanical framework the shelters are relatively lightweight to transport and compact to store.
The mass Decontamination shower is partitioned into three lanes (male, female & assisted casualty), with pre and post decon changing areas. Partitions are removable and doors can be linked together allowing the shower to be configured as a single, double or triple lane system.
Raised floor panels prevent contact with contaminated shower wash-off, which is collected in a chemically resistant sump. Sleeves for pumped extraction of contaminated water are included as standard.
Showers can be used on hard or soft standing, and guy ropes are provided for securing in position during inclement weather.
