Water Treatment Systems for Asbestos Decontamination

Contaminated water can be generated in many ways during asbestos and hazardous-material work, from personnel decontamination showers and equipment wash-down through to ponded water, sumps and other contaminated water collected inside a work area.

Deconta offers two different types of equipment to manage this:
Wastewater filtration systems such as the AS range are designed to pump contaminated water through staged filtration down to 1 micron. They can operate as standalone filtration units and are not limited to use with decontamination showers.
Water management systems such as the SW range combine wastewater filtration with the supply of heated water for personnel decontamination, providing a more complete solution for wet decon facilities.
The right system depends on the volume of water, contamination load, required flow rate and whether heated fresh water is also required.

AS200
The AS200 is a compact standalone wastewater filtration system designed to pump and filter contaminated water through a two-stage filtration process.
It can be used with a decontamination shower, but it is equally suitable for other applications where contaminated water needs to be removed and filtered — for example ponded water or a small contaminated sump within an asbestos work area.
Best suited for:
Smaller-volume contaminated water filtration where a simple, portable system is required.

AS300
The AS300 is a higher-capacity standalone wastewater filtration system with three-stage filtration and pressure monitoring.
It provides greater filtration capacity and easier monitoring of filter loading, making it suitable where larger volumes of contaminated water need to be processed.
Best suited for:
Higher water volumes, ongoing filtration work or applications requiring additional filtration stages and monitoring.
AS300CG
The AS300CG builds on the AS300 with an additional coarse filtration stage ahead of the main filters.
This helps remove larger material earlier in the process, reducing premature loading of the finer downstream filters.
Best suited for:
Contaminated water with heavier solids or debris where additional pre-filtration is beneficial.
SW50L
The SW50L is a complete water management system for wet personnel decontamination.
It combines heated fresh-water supply with wastewater filtration and incorporates one fresh-water pump and one wastewater pump in a compact integrated unit.
Best suited for:
Standard wet decontamination setups requiring both heated shower water and wastewater filtration from one system.

SW120L
The SW120L is the premium, high-capacity water management system for demanding decontamination setups.
It features a 120 L heated-water capacity and dual wastewater pumps, allowing separate shower chambers to be drained independently.
This solves a common problem with single-pump systems serving multiple chambers: if one chamber is empty, the system can draw air from that chamber instead of maintaining effective suction where wastewater is actually present.
By giving each wastewater pickup its own pump, the SW120L eliminates that issue and provides more reliable drainage, fewer suction problems and less operator intervention.
Best suited for:
Higher-throughput decontamination systems, multiple shower chambers and contractors wanting the most complete, low-headache water management solution.
