The Enertia Liquid CO2+ system represents a major leap forward in personal protective equipment (PPE) care. Utilizing a closed-loop Liquid CO2+ cleaning process, the system removes up to 84% of PFAS and 99.9% of SVOCs and heavy metals from turnout gear while preserving the integrity of garment materials. This technology is environmentally friendly and improves safety by reducing toxic exposure and extending gear lifespan, helping departments stay in NFPA compliance.
"We're honored to be recognized by Firehouse Magazine for what we believe is the most effective solution in firefighter PPE decontamination," said Ryan Burchnell, CEO of Emergency Technical Decon. "This innovation award reflects our commitment to protecting those who protect us through cleaner gear, better compliance, and our goal of fewer long-term health risks."
The Enertia Liquid CO2+ system is currently operational in ETD's certified facilities in Eagan, Minnesota and Portland, Oregon as well in partnership with Ten-8 Fire & Safety who services the Florida and Georgia region with this industry-leading technology. Additional machine placements will be announced across North America in the coming months.
