Liquid waste with a microbial load can now be quickly processed before disposal to the site drain without staff interaction or chemical application
Unigro, specialist in contained controlled environment research facilities, has launched its MDU series for liquid microbial deactivation.
Liquid waste from contained research involving viral, fungal or bacteriological pathogens is processed simply and safely allowing disposal in to the site drainage system.
The range eliminates the risk of chemical exposure to staff and is more cost effective than the traditional methods of biohazard waste disposal.
The system, incorporating UV technology, can be linked with a site building management system to control the re-circulating programme, provide alarm warnings, measure and record performance.
Each unit is designed with a minimum capability of a 7log reduction and offers a batch isolation function for full containment and integrated standby capacity.
The in house software developed by Unigro ensures that each MDU is a bespoke design, which will meet individual client's requirements and comply with the statutory legislation governing specific applications.
The chemical free design removes the risk of bioaccumulation and eliminates the COSHH chemical storage and handling requirements.
While all Unigro contained controlled environment facilities are constructed with an integral MDU, the company, following a recent installation at Rothamsted Research, anticipates a demand for the product in existing research facilities.
