Biowaste decontamination system
Ensure safe handling of pathogenic and genetically modified organisms in wastewater with precise decontamination and inactivation processes tailored to meet stringent safety standards.
Deactivates and Sterilizes Contaminated Wastewater
The Killtank Wastewater Decontamination System, offered by Bioengineering AG, is designed to address the critical production need for the deactivation of pathogenic and genetically modified organisms in wastewater. This system employs a combination of batch or continuous heat sterilization processes to ensure thorough decontamination, adhering to local regulatory standards.
Ideal for biopharmaceutical manufacturers, research labs, and wastewater treatment facilities, the Killtank system plays a vital role in producing sterile effluents and safeguarding the environment. It features automated controls for both batch and continuous modes, integrating seamlessly into existing processes with options for manual operation where needed.
The system incorporates heat exchangers capable of pre-heating wastewater to 100°C and then elevating temperatures to 140°C for complete inactivation, followed by rapid cooling. Additionally, energy efficiency is enhanced through a built-in heat recovery system.
Constructed from materials that offer superior corrosion resistance, the Killtank is compliant with stringent safety and environmental standards, making it a reliable choice for managing biohazardous waste. Maintenance is simplified with an integrated Cleaning In Place (CIP) system, facilitating quick, contamination-free cleaning and ensuring minimal downtime.
