DeconKeg Sprayer – High-Capacity Pressurized Decontamination System

Fill, pressurize, spray

Setup takes three steps and no special equipment. The tank is filled with two gallons of decontamination solution, leaving space at the top so it can be pressurized. A standard tire chuck on the fill valve brings the tank to 100 psi from any standard air compressor or air pump, and the safety relief valve vents automatically at 125 psi. With the chrome cap replaced over the fill valve, the DeconKeg holds pressure for up to 30 days, so a filled unit can sit staged until it is needed.

Controlling the spray

• No pumping: stored air pressure drives the spray, and no batteries are required.
• Flow rate: set with the flow-control valve at the base of the sprayer assembly.
• Pattern: twist the adjustable nozzle tip to move from a cone-shaped fine mist down to a stream.
• Trigger safety: the spray gun has a safety that must be off before spraying.

Where it fits

First Line Technology designed the DeconKeg to scale to large decon missions or infectious disease control while keeping a small logistical footprint. It is suited to stationary decon lines and post-fire preliminary exposure reduction, and it is light and portable enough for building decontamination. For crews that need to carry it, a version with a backpack and straps is offered.

Frequently asked questions

How much solution does the DeconKeg hold?

First Line Technology lists a 2-gallon liquid capacity. The fill instructions call for two gallons of decontamination solution and warn not to overfill, because space must be left in the stainless steel tank so it can be pressurized. The empty unit weighs 7 lb.

How do you pressurize a DeconKeg sprayer?

Use a standard tire-type chuck on the fill valve with any standard air compressor or air pump, and pressurize the tank to 100 psi. The safety relief valve vents automatically at 125 psi. Replacing the chrome cap over the fill valve keeps the charge for up to 30 days.

Can the DeconKeg spray a mist as well as a stream?

Yes. Twisting the tip of the adjustable nozzle changes the pattern from a cone-shaped fine mist down to a stream, and a flow-control valve at the base of the sprayer assembly sets the flow rate. That lets one unit handle both broad coverage and targeted rinsing.
