Barrier 2000 temporary disposable isolation system
Related Life Sciences has launched a unique and inexpensive solution to convert existing rooms into temporary isolation suites.
By incorporating the Barrier 2000, asbestos contamination can be contained within a single room, allowing normal operation and personnel traffic throughout the remainder of the building until cleansing process has taken place.
The unit is flat packed in a small metal container and can be inflated within 10 minutes.
Incorporating an inflation pump and filtered air management system, the Barrier 2000 controls air flow within the isolation lock and contaminated room.
The pressure can be controlled as a negative or positive pressure environment depending on where the barrier is to be located.
A purpose designed generic, air-tight flexible flange is fitted to the Barrier 2000 to ensure that it will fit over any standard door opening.
On completion of the asbestos removal, the unit is deflated and disposed of through the normal waste channels.
Additional disposable modules can be incorporated to provide wash-down capabilities for operators and equipment.
