Building protection
HDT Global, Inc. has teamed with Buffalo BioBlower Technologies, LLC to protect building as large as 50,000 square feet of floor area from bio-warfare agents or natural bio-contaminants. The prototype BioBlower uses innova-tive compressive heating technology to provide 5,000 cubic feet per minute of purified make-up air to maintain a pro-tective positive pressure in a building. The mobile device is designed to move to a threat area and quickly interface with a building’s existing HVAC and filtration system. The prototype, sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, will be demonstrated in early 2015 and previous independent testing of the BioBlower technology by U.S. DoD shows >99.9999% kill effectiveness against spores, vegetative bacteria and viruses.
