ABSTRACT:
A filtration system for removing gaseous and particulate contaminants from a contaminated structure includes a positive pressure source for raising the static pressure within the contaminated structure above an ambient pressure; and a decontamination tunnel which seals around an outlet opening in the contaminated structure. The tunnel contains and channels the contaminates as they exit the contaminated structure. The tunnel includes an outer, gas impermeable skin; removable frames which support the skin; filters which are mounted within the tunnel; and an exhaust duct for channelling filtered air from the tunnel. In a first embodiment, the filters may be wetted with a wetting or neutralizing agent before they are installed within the tunnel; or alternatively, the filters may be dry filters impregnated with dry chemicals that may neutralize or dilute the exhausted contaminates. In a second embodiment, the filters may be continuously wetted with an agent that is pumped from an external source and that runs down over the filters from a channel in the top of the filters' holding frames. In the second embodiment, used wetting agent is drained from the filters and tunnel.
