Suncombe EDS+ BioWaste Treatment System

Suncombe has announced the release of the EDS+ BioWaste Treatment System for biologically hazardous waste decontamination and growth media sterilisation. The product is designed for waste levels from BSL1 to BSL4 and is typically used in the biopharma sector, laboratories and research institutes.

The system, certified to ASME and ISO/EN standards, is suitable for local standardisation and offers dual controls in the local language and English. It is said to include a number of technical advances, including thermal energy regeneration, dual redundancy, antifoam control, pH neutralisation, 100% positive release for treated waste and electronic records generation.

The predesigned system incorporates one or two vessels which are used for both collection and treatment and provide dual redundancy in the event of downtime. With capacities varied to suit a wide range of waste volume, the systems are supplied with controls and interlocking functionality to ensure containment is constantly maintained and there is always a positive release prior to discharge of treated waste.

Complying with globally recognised regulations, the containment envelope and requirements are assessed for each project individually to provide a robust method of collection and storage of liquid waste streams — up to 20,000 L per day. Primarily used for thermal inactivation, the system also offers a backup or alternative chemical and thermochemical facility.
