The MACAW®
CHEMICAL/BILOGICAL DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM
The fully portable Macaw provides versatile power in the world’s first totally independent Compressed Air Foam(CAF) backpack. Ease of operation has been combined with rugged construction to create a portable CAF system that is reliable and ready for instant response in the most demanding response situations.
The Macaw can multiply five gallons of carried foam solution into as much as 300 gallons of expanded foam. Compressed air foam is ideal for decontamination operations by expanding the solution, providing even coverage, maximizing wet contact with the contaminant, providing visual reference for coated surfaces and suppressing fumes and vapors while decontamination processes take place. Five gallons of foam solution can decontaminate 10 divers and their dive gear.
The patented Macaw system is truly multifunctional. You can use the Macaw to apply decontamination foam to a diver and their dive gear. You can also minimize contact with fuel contamination by using the Macaw to apply a fuel barrier of Fire Foam. Simply rinse out the tank and fill it with the appropriate solution for the situation.
