Fixed Site & Filter-In-Place Systems
Performance
Edgewood
Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) has the ability to design
Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) filtration
systems for fixed sites, operation buildings overseas, vehicular
platforms, and facilities including military dorms and chemistry
labs. From systems initial design and development to systems
sustainment, ECBC offers a “cradle to grave” solution
for the armed forces against CBRN attacks. Systems sustainment
includes development of system/design requirement, Standard
Operating Procedures and protocols, process validation, in-place
certification testing, and filter monitoring for CBRN filtration
systems.
In-place certification testing of installed CBRN filters for government laboratories,
vehicles, and fixed sites both home and abroad can be performed. This testing
certifies that the entire filtration system is capable of protecting against
a CBRN attack. These systems are evaluated in accordance with the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers N510 procedures for mechanical leaks using
portable polydispersed polyalphaolfin aerosol generators/detectors and nondestructive
gas simulants (non-Ozone depleting fluorocarbons) and electron capture chromatographic
detection methods. The in-place leak test is a leak test and not a life test
and is required to evaluate the CBRN filtration system for proper filter
installation, and carbon/particulate damage.
