Abstract
Systems and methods for distributing treatment compound to an enclosed environment comprise a storage and distribution assembly for storing a treatment compound, a pipe system for delivering the treatment compound from the storage tank to an environment and an exhaust system configured to exhaust the treatment compound out of the environment.
Claims20
A compound distribution system comprising:
- a storage and distribution assembly for storing a treatment compound comprising:
- a first treatment compound tank;
- a second treatment compound tank;
- and
- a main storage tank configured to receive a first treatment compound from a first treatment compound tank and a second treatment compound from a second treatment compound tank;
- a pipe system for delivering the treatment compound from the main storage tank to an environment, the pipe system comprising:
- a main distribution line connecting the main storage tank to a trunk distribution line;
- a main distribution valve in the main distribution line configured to close the main distribution line;
- at least one pump configured in the trunk distribution line configured to distribute treatment compound to at least two room distribution lines wherein each of the at least two room distribution lines is routed to a different room;
- a nozzle attached to each of the at least two room distribution lines;
- and
- a low point drain configured in the trunk distribution line to allow residual treatment compound to be flushed out of the trunk distribution line;
- and
- an exhaust system configured to exhaust the treatment compound out of the environment, the exhaust system comprising:
- at least one vent in the environment;
- a trunk vent connecting the at least one vent in the environment to an exhaust vent;
- and
- at least one vent fan configured to draw fluid out of the environment through the at least one vent, through the trunk vent, and to expel the treatment compound out of the environment.

A distribution and exhaust system comprising:
- at least one room box configured to deliver treatment compound and compressed gas to a nozzle disposed in an environment, the at least one room box comprising:
- at least one treatment compound supply line;
- a first pressure regulator for controlling flow to the treatment compound supply line;
- at least one gas supply line connected to the nozzle;
- and
- a second pressure regulator for controlling gas flow to the at least one gas supply line;
- a computer system communicatively coupled to a zone box, the computer system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a storage device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the storage device storing instructions comprising a zone box control module which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- controlling distribution of the treatment compound from the zone box to one or more of the at least one room boxes;
- and
- an exhaust system configured to exhaust the treatment compound out of the environment, the exhaust system comprising:
- at least one vent in the environment;
- a trunk vent connecting the at least one vent in the environment to an exhaust vent;
- at least one vent fan configured to draw fluid out of the environment through the at least one vent, through the trunk vent, and to expel the treatment compound out of the environment;
- and
- a main box configured to provide at least one component of the treatment compound to the at least one zone box, the main box comprising:
- a supply suction line;
- and
- an inline filter from a part A storage tank to a part A pump further connected to a part A tank and an overflow loop.
17 more elements
A treatment method comprising:
- storing a first treatment in a first treatment compound tank;
- storing a second treatment compound in a second treatment compound tank;
- mixing the first treatment compound and the second treatment compound into a mixed treatment compound in a main storage tank;
- delivering the mixed treatment compound from the storage and distribution assembly to an environment with a pipe system, the pipe system comprising a main distribution line connecting the main storage tank to a trunk distribution line;
- a main distribution valve in the main distribution line configured to close the main distribution line;
- at least one pump configured in the trunk distribution line configured to distribute treatment compound to at least two room distribution lines wherein each of the at least two room distribution lines is routed to a different room;
- and
- a nozzle attached to each of the at least two room distribution lines;
- a low point drain configured in the trunk distribution line to allow residual treatment compound to be flushed out of the trunk distribution line;
- and
- exhausting a fluid out of the environment into an external environment with an exhaust system.
