Steam-Powered Wastewater Decontamination
Imtech-Steri designs, develops, and manufactures wastewater decontamination and sterilization units. These units are specifically tailored to the needs of the buildings in which they are installed.
Our decontamination stations use saturated steam technology to safely and efficiently treat wastewater from life sciences facilities, ensuring complete inactivation of active biological ingredients before discharge.
Why Choose Steam-Powered Decontamination?
There are two main reasons to choose a steam-powered wastewater treatment plant: unmatched efficiency in energy transfer and proven reliability in eliminating biological hazards.
High Efficiency
The goal in a decontamination process is to destroy all active ingredients (such as microorganisms or cells) using an energy source. Using saturated steam is the most efficient method of transferring energy.
Saturated steam carries more energy than needed for evaporation. This excess energy is released once the steam hits the sterilization goods, resulting in quick elimination of active ingredients.
Reliability
Steam-based decontamination provides consistent, repeatable results regardless of the biological load. The physical process guarantees complete inactivation under defined conditions.
Combined with our advanced control software, the system monitors critical parameters in real time to ensure every cycle meets regulatory requirements.
The Decontamination Process
Scroll to follow the water as it flows from collection to clean discharge.
Collection
Wastewater is collected in sealed containment vessels from connected laboratory and production systems.
Steam Heating
Saturated steam heats the wastewater to sterilization temperature, ensuring maximum energy transfer.
Treatment
The wastewater is held at sterilization conditions for the required duration to guarantee complete inactivation.
Verification
Parameters are logged and verified against defined thresholds before treated water is safely discharged.
