NBC Protection - Naval Radial

Our Radial Filter Unit has been designed to integrate with the minimum of structural change into new build or existing vessels and is welded into the ship structure. It is used in conjunction with a separate preparticulate filter and a fan, both of which we can supply if required.

This system is being fitted to the new Albion class, Wave Knight class and Echo class vessels.

• The unit will withstand shock levels of 70g in the vertical plane and 30g in the horizontal plane. Each unit has a maximum airflow rate of 900 m3/hr.
• The filter elements are manufactured to NATO STANAG 4447, with common dimensions, thus ensuring support across NATO navies.
• Filters can be changed at sea, so improving operational availability.

Each filter consists of a stainless steel mesh enclosing:

- A HEPA Filter, which removes fine particulate matter down to 0.3 microns, including bacteria.

- A Gas Filter, which removes chemical and radiac warfare agents in the form of gases or vapours by adsorption to the activated charcoal filling.

The Radial Filter system can be supplied with manual operation through varying degrees of automation to the fully automated version which enables the system to be remotely controlled from the Command Position.
