Advanced detection and elimination of atmospheric hazards in confined spaces using military-grade decontamination technology and FTIR gas analysis.
Confined spaces present unique and potentially life-threatening hazards that require specialized detection, analysis, and decontamination protocols.
Confined spaces are characterized by restricted means of entry/exit, sufficient size to contain a worker, and not being designed for continuous occupancy. These challenging environments can harbor invisible atmospheric hazards that pose serious threats to worker health and safety.
EnviroDecon’s Confined Space Decontamination Services utilize advanced FTIR gas detection technology, comprehensive monitoring systems, and military-grade Enviro DF-200 decontamination solutions to ensure these environments are safe for entry and occupation.
Our science-based approach addresses the invisible atmospheric hazards that make confined spaces particularly dangerous, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, flammable atmospheres, and biological contaminants. By combining cutting-edge detection technology with proven decontamination methods, we provide a comprehensive solution that exceeds regulatory requirements and ensures the highest level of safety.
Oxygen levels below 19.5% can cause impaired judgment, increased breathing rate, and eventual asphyxiation. Levels above 23.5% create an increased fire hazard. Both conditions are immediately dangerous to life and health and often occur without warning signs.
Common toxic gases in confined spaces include hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), ammonia (NH₃), and various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases can cause acute poisoning, asphyxiation, or long-term health effects.
Combustible gases, vapors, or dusts can reach concentrations that create fire or explosion hazards. These atmospheres can develop quickly and may not be detectable without specialized equipment, creating significant risk for workers.
Bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms can thrive in confined spaces, particularly those with moisture or organic material. These biological contaminants can cause infections, respiratory issues, and allergic reactions in exposed workers.
OSHA's Confined Space Standard (29 CFR 1910.146) requires employers to identify hazards, implement written programs, provide training, test atmospheric conditions, and establish rescue procedures. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties and worker risk.
Even after a confined space has been ventilated or initially cleaned, residual contamination can remain on surfaces or be reintroduced when disturbing materials. This creates ongoing risks that require comprehensive decontamination approaches.
Our advanced FTIR gas detection technology identifies hazardous gases and compounds that traditional monitors miss, ensuring comprehensive safety assessment.
Our Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) gas detection technology represents the cutting edge in confined space atmospheric monitoring. Unlike traditional gas detectors that typically measure only 4-5 gases with imprecise detection limits, our FTIR system simultaneously measures up to 50 predetermined gases with extremely low detection limits.
This advanced analytical capability allows us to identify unknown gases from a vast library of over 400 compounds by scanning the entire infrared spectrum. Our technology can detect compounds that traditional monitors cannot, including acetone, formic acid, and chloroform, providing a complete understanding of the atmospheric conditions.
Before entering a space that might contain hazardous gases, we conduct comprehensive pre-entry checks by inserting a probe and pumping air into the gas analyzer. Our system enables continuous monitoring while work is carried out in the confined space, providing real-time results with immediate analysis capabilities.

Our military-grade decontamination solution provides broad-spectrum efficacy against the contaminants commonly found in confined spaces.
Enviro DF-200 is our proprietary, military-grade decontamination solution specifically formulated to neutralize a wide range of biological and chemical contaminants. Originally developed for defense applications, this powerful yet environmentally responsible solution is ideal for eliminating hazardous conditions in confined space environments.
Unlike conventional cleaning products that may only temporarily reduce contamination levels or mask odors, Enviro DF-200 provides comprehensive antimicrobial action through multiple mechanisms, ensuring thorough decontamination of treated surfaces and materials.
Our solution is particularly effective against biofilms and persistent chemical contaminants, which are notoriously resistant to conventional cleaning methods. The unique formulation of Enviro DF-200 allows it to penetrate and disrupt these contaminants, ensuring complete elimination and creating a safer confined space environment.
