Fireground contamination is not dirt — it is a carcinogen load. Soot carries PAHs and heavy metals into every seam of SCBA sets, masks and hardware, and brushing it redistributes more than it removes.
Misonics systems decontaminate breathing apparatus and equipment hardware in controlled, repeatable cycles — gentle enough for facepieces, documented well enough for a cancer-mitigation program.
Combustion carcinogens bonded into seams, threads and textured surfaces.
Fireground metals lodged in regulator and valve hardware.
Ground into moving parts, accelerating wear.
Fuels and oils from vehicle and industrial incidents.
From coastal operations and chemical incidents.
SCBA regulators, valves, harness hardware and facepieces — decontaminated without degrading elastomers.
Anchoring connectors, hydraulic tool components and fittings — grit out of load-bearing hardware.
Pump components, fittings and small hardware on appliance maintenance rotation.
Bubble collapse at the liquid–metal boundary lifts contamination from passages, galleries and cavities without anything touching the surface. Nothing abrades, nothing embeds, no metal is removed.
The VarioSonic G5 tracks the transducer array as temperature and load shift — conversion efficiency up to 95%.
Eliminates standing-wave hot and cold zones across a loaded basket.
Stored recipes and logged cycles — audit evidence produced as a by-product of running.
Multi-stage filtration and weir oil capture hold results steady as the bath loads.
Most faults identified — many resolved — without a site visit.
Heavy 316 stainless tanks, tested before despatch, every wearing part replaceable.
From manually loaded single-tank units to automated lines — and engineered systems where the catalogue ends.
Decontamination chemistry must remove PAHs without attacking polycarbonate lenses and silicone seals — pH-controlled formulations proven on the actual PPE in trial, not assumed.

Where an application needs validation, we clean sample components in our laboratory, document the result, and specify the machine around the verified process. If ultrasonics is the wrong answer, the trial shows that too, and we will tell you.
