Abstract

A mobile decontamination facility vehicle comprises two or fewer interior walls; the interior walls being seamless and defining an interior space. There is at least one removable partition that defines two decontamination areas within the interior space. The facility has a drain trough disposed centrally between the interior walls for removing waste water. A waste-water tank connects to the drain for holding waste water from the decontamination areas. A sump tank connects to the waste-water tank for receiving waste water from the waste-water tank by gravity flow. The sump tank has one or more sump pumps located inside it for pumping waste water from the facility to disposal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
         1 . A decontamination facility comprising: 
 at least one interior wall; the interior wall being seamless; the interior wall defining an interior space;    a single drain; the drain running substantially the length of the interior space; and,    a waste-water tank connected to the drain for holding waste water from the decontamination areas.    
     
     
         2 . The decontamination facility of  claim 1 , further having at least one removable partition; the partition defining two decontamination areas within the interior space.  
     
     
         3 . The decontamination facility of  claim 1 , where the drain is disposed centrally between the interior walls.  
     
     
         4 . The decontamination facility of  claim 1 , further including a sump tank connected to the waste-water tank.  
     
     
         5 . The decontamination facility of  claim 4  where the sump tank receives waste water from the waste-water tank by gravity flow.  
     
     
         6 . The decontamination facility of  claim 4 , where the sump tank has one or more sump pumps located inside it for removing waste water from the sump tank.  
     
     
         7 . The decontamination facility of  claim 1  further comprising an auxiliary treatment tank disposed outside the facility.  
     
     
         8 . The decontamination facility of  claim 1 , where the facility is mobile.  
     
     
         9 . The decontamination facility of  claim 8 , where the facility further includes a sump tank; the sump tank connected to the waste-water tank.  
     
     
         10 . The decontamination facility of  claim 9  where the sump tank further includes a means for raising the sump tank for travel and for lowering the sump tank to allow gravity flow of waste water from the waste-water tank to the sump tank when the facility is in operation.  
     
     
         11 . A mobile decontamination facility vehicle, comprising: 
 two interior walls; the interior walls being seamless; the interior walls defining an interior space;    at least one removable partition; the partition defining two decontamination areas within the interior space;    one drain disposed centrally between the interior walls and running substantially the length of the facility;    a waste-water tank connected to the drain for holding waste water from the decontamination areas;    a sump tank connected to the waste-water tank for receiving waste water from the waste-water tank by gravity flow; the sump tank having one or more sump pumps located inside it; and,    the sump tank further including a means for raising the sump tank for travel and for lowering the sump tank to allow gravity flow of waste water from the waste-water tank to the sump tank when the facility is in operation.
