What is a Decontamination System & How is a Thermal Decontamination System Better?

Decontamination is the process of removing or neutralizing contaminants such as explosives, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), HAPs, irritants, and various other dangerous compounds. A decontamination system not only protects workers from hazardous elements but keeps the hazards from polluting the environment as well. Additionally, they prevent designated clean areas from getting contaminated.

When is a decontamination system necessary?

Technological advancement has made it possible for industries to install decontamination systems to prevent environmental hazards. Here are some of the biggest reasons why you may need a proper decontamination plan for your factory:

·       As industrial processes produce a lot of volatile organic compositions or VOCs that can really harm the environment, and with increasing regulations on hazards and pollutants, a decontamination system can keep you compliant.

·        A decontamination system can promote the good health of not just the workers in the facility but their families and the people in surrounding localities as well.

Epcon specializes in designing and manufacturing durable and highly sustainable and decontamination chambers that can be customized for industrial application based on the contaminants used.

Which decontamination method is best?

All the equipment, clothing, samples leaving a contaminated area must go through a decontamination process to remove the harmful components successfully.

Traditionally, contamination has be removed physically by dislodging, rinsing, wiping. After the physical removal of contamination, the use of chemical solutions is necessary for complete decontamination.

A more efficient and effective decontamination method, however is often achieved by applying high heat to evaporate and breakdown the hazardous compounds via exposure to thermal energy.

Thermal decontamination methods have proven to be better in many applications as it removes the use of toxic chemicals and cleaning products used, as well as eliminating the burden of storing and disposing of the hazardous waste generated in traditional decontamination methods.

Q1 2023: CEO Business Insider

Epcon has been fortunate to have several major projects, which have carried forward into 2023. And, we are sufficiently busy, with a backlog of 6+ months. While I tend to be an eternal optimist when it comes to the economy, and business outlook in general, there is a lot of grim news surrounding the financial sector due to inflation and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Now we have a new phenomenon to deal with – the banks.   The fault line or the weakness of the banking was totally predictable. I do not know how and why the financial experts and the bankers could not see the problems with the hundreds and billions of dollars for loans at near 0% interest rate, for the past few years, and now the cost of money lending is up to 5-7%. And the big banks will need to bail out these smaller and weaker banks, and the US government will have to bail out the bankers. This bank failure cannot be ignored nor slid under the rug. While global supply chains are gradually improving,

Business Outlook & CEO Insights

  Dear Friends, Happy New Year ! It is a great pleasure to welcome 2024 with great hope and aspirations of peace, a better economy, and a more stable world.  As we look forward to a strong 47 th year in business, let’s reflect back on the past 12 months. 2023 started as a continuation of 2022, where the high inflation caused havoc in the economy, creating uncertainties, polarized shortages, supply chain issues, skilled and unskilled labor shortages. All of this uncertainty had everyone fearfully bracing for a global recession.  “Soft-landing” or “hard-landing” was the ongoing subject of discussion, but the economy dodged a recession in 2023. In the end, the year closed with a decent GDP growth at 2.5%. Indications are showing, and economists are forecasting a slowdown in 2024. The expectation is that the GDP will be 1.7% and inflation will fall below 3%. Predictions are that inflation will fall to 2% by the end of Summer, with anticipated fluctuations until the year's end.
