Abstract (en)
Decontamination comprises showering contaminated personnel individually with an amphoteric and chelating liquid for 5-20 seconds, collecting the used liquid and regenerating it with a view to its re-use. Decontamination comprises showering contaminated personnel individually with an amphoteric and chelating liquid, e.g. Diphoterine (RTM) for a period of 5 - 20 seconds, collecting the used liquid and regenerating it with a view to its re-use. An Independent claim is also included for an installation for the above process, in which the used liquid from each shower (1) is collected in a tray (14) and fed into a tank (9) with detectors (19, 20) which measure the degree of contamination and add more of the active product from a container (22), so that the liquid is completely and constantly regenerated. The installation has two or more centrally-positioned showers, each with multiple jets on columns around it, changing rooms and a decontamination unit for papers and personal effects.
