Ro/Ro container decontamination– Knapsack Chemical Park Fire Brigade
The Ro/Ro container decontamination was specifically developed for the Knapsack Chemical Park's plant fire brigade to decontaminate emergency personnel more quickly, safely, and with less manpower. Unlike the previous solution, the system operates largely autonomously with integrated fresh water and wastewater tanks and can decontaminate up to ten people without additional vehicles.

The decontamination process is highly automated, takes only about 1.5–2 minutes per person, and requires approximately 40 liters of water. Thanks to sophisticated technology, monitoring systems, and a high degree of automation, the Ro/Ro container decontamination is ready for use in about five minutes and can be operated by just two people.
