CA 2463988

A system for handling mail is in the form of a modular facility (10), which is capable of being isolated from the surrounding environment. The modular facility includes an enclosure or sorting area (40) for receiving and sorting incoming mail. A decontamination system (22) receives sorted mail and decontaminates the mail with a oxidizing gas, such as ethylene oxide. A clean room (32), isolated from the enclosure and spaced from the enclosure by the decontamination system, is used for receiving processed mail from the decontamination system and sorting the mail for distribution. A source (92) of a decontaminant gas, such as vapor hydrogen peroxide, is fluidly connected with the enclosure for supplying the decontaminant gas to the enclosure in the event that the sorting room is contaminated or suspected of being contaminated with a pathogenic biological or chemical agent.

L'invention concerne un système de gestion de courrier se présentant sous la forme d'une installation modulaire (10) pouvant être isolée de son environnement. L'installation modulaire comprend une enveloppe ou une zone de tri (40) servant à recevoir et à trier le courrier entrant. Un système de décontamination (22) permet de recevoir le courrier trié et de le décontaminer au moyen d'un gaz d'oxydation, tel que l'oxyde d'éthylène. Une pièce propre (32), isolée de l'enveloppe et séparée de celle-ci par le système de décontamination, est utilisée pour recevoir du courrier traité provenant du système de décontamination et le trier en vue de sa distribution. Une source (92) d'un gaz décontaminant, tel que des vapeurs de peroxyde d'hydrogène, est reliée sur le plan fluidique à l'enveloppe pour alimenter en gaz décontaminant ladite enveloppe, au cas où la pièce de tri est contaminée ou suspectée de l'être par un agent chimique ou biologique pathogène.
