Liquid co2 Turnout Gear Cleaning Technology that Saves Lives

Emergency Technical Decon (ETD) uses next-gen liquid CO2+ cleaning technology to keep firefighters safe.
ETD's Liquid CO2+ Enertia machine removes up to 84% of PFAS, over 99.9% of SVOCs, 99.8% of heavy metals, and 99.9999% of biological contaminants, significantly enhancing firefighter safety and extending PPE lifespan.

The Reality

Firefighters frequently encounter multiple carcinogens at dangerous levels. Contaminants resistant to conventional cleaning methods build up over time only to affect the firefighter’s long-term health, safety, and performance of their gear.

Our Mission

Firefighters put their lives on the line for their communities every day. Our mission is to protect them in return by removing harmful contaminants from PPE, preserving gear performance throughout its service life, and helping reduce the long-term occupational health risks firefighters face.

The ETD Difference

Emergency Technical Decon offers the only Liquid CO2+ system that delivers full-spectrum decontamination without requiring water-based washing, preserving gear integrity while producing zero hazardous wastewater.

How Toxic Removal Works

In traditional cleaning methods, water only cleans the surface of waterproof gear. Our Liquid CO2++ is combined with environmentally-friendly additives that penetrate past the top layer of gear to remove carcinogens of all kinds, including dangerous NFPA-specified substances.

ETD captures toxins at the molecular level, resulting in far more effective cleaning.

State-of-the-Art Cancer Prevention

Decades of studies have shown that firefighters are exposed to numerous carcinogens when they respond to fires. These carcinogens seep deep into their gear, making their job dangerous even after the fire is out. Traditional turnout gear cleaning methods only clean the surface of their equipment, leaving layers of dangerous chemicals that build up over time.

Compared to traditional bunker cleaning methods, ETD uses less energy and less water while also providing a deeper clean that removes dangerous carcinogens from firefighters’ and other first responders’ gear.
