Semmco EEBD
TheSemmcoEEBDisaself-containedshortduration
oxygen(O2) breathing apparatus that provides a supply
offreshoxygensothatthewearercanbreathefreelyin
acontaminatedoroxygendecientenvironment,ensuring
aquickandsafeescape.
TheSemmcoEEBDisavailableintwodifferentversions:
•15minutedurationforMilitary,Maritime&Offshore
•20minutedurationforIndustrial
Eachversioniscontainedinanorange,rigidcase,
that is discarded once the Semmco EEBD is in use.
HowtheSemmcoEEBDworks
TheSemmcoEEBDusesKO2(potassiumsuperoxide)to
provideoxygentotheuser.AstheEEBDispulledfromits
carrycase,achloratecandleprovidesoxygenfortheuser’s
rstbreath.Astheuserexhalesintothebag,moisturefrom
theirexhaledbreathactivatestheKO2thatthen‘scrubs’the
CO2andliberatesoxygen.Oxygencontinuestobegenerated
while the EEBD is being used and depending on the version
deployed,willlastfor15or20minutes.
