SCBA and Fireground Equipment Cleaning
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.
What we remove in fire & emergency services
Soot & PAH residues
Combustion carcinogens bonded into seams, threads and textured surfaces.
Heavy-metal particulates
Fireground metals lodged in regulator and valve hardware.
Abrasive silica & ash
Ground into moving parts, accelerating wear.
Hydrocarbon films
Fuels and oils from vehicle and industrial incidents.
Salt & corrosive residues
From coastal operations and chemical incidents.
Real parts, real materials
Breathing apparatus
SCBA regulators, valves, harness hardware and facepieces — decontaminated without degrading elastomers.
Rescue hardware
Anchoring connectors, hydraulic tool components and fittings — grit out of load-bearing hardware.
Station & appliance
Pump components, fittings and small hardware on appliance maintenance rotation.
Cavitation cleans geometry it cannot see
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 G4 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.
The machine follows the process
From manually loaded single-tank units to automated lines — and engineered systems where the catalogue ends.
Matched to the soil and the substrate
Decontamination chemistry must remove PAHs without attacking polycarbonate lenses and silicone seals — pH-controlled formulations proven on the actual PPE in trial, not assumed.
