AeroClave LLC. manufactures two types of portable decontamination systems that fit the needs of the City--the RDS 6110 (for large spaces) and the RDS 3110 for vehicles and smaller rooms. These units can be used for manual or remote applications of disinfectant.
These devices are available for purchase by the City via cooperative contract between the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments and the manufacturer, AeroClave, LLC.
