Chlorine Dioxide Rapid Real-Time Decontamination

Seroseps’ dry gas ClO2 decontamination technology is driving a paradigm shift in the way we approach and implement sterilisation and chemical decontamination across industries.

Why Use Chlorine Dioxide Decontamination

POWERFUL STERILISER

An EPA registered steriliser, dry gas chlorine dioxide eliminates all forms of microbial life, providing >106 log reduction of all organisms including bacterial spores, small round viruses, catalase expressing organisms, such as Mycobacteria and parasites such as pinworm1.

COMPLETE DISTRIBUTION AND PENETRATION

Being a true gas at standard temperature and pressure and having a particle size of 125 picometres, all surfaces within an area will be exposed to the correct amount of ClO2 for sterilisation regardless of area contents, size or temperature gradient. Following Henrys law, ClO2 does not disassociate in liquids and will sterilise spillages with equal efficacy.

SAFE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

ClO2 Dry gas is non-carcinogenic, non-explosive, leaves no residues and has an odour at a safe concentration. Once aerated, ClO2 breaks down in UV to environmentally friendly by-products. Unlike Ethylene oxide, it is not a derivative of petrochemicals nor is it a chlorinating agent like elemental chlorine. Toxic pollutants such as trihalomethanes (THM`s) are not emitted during this process.

RAPID AND FLEXIBLE

Our ClO2 has the fastest cycle time of any fumigant, fumigating whole facilities in <3 hours. With a rapid aeration and no clean up, dry gas ClO2 allows for instant re-use of target areas. Up to 15 areas can be decontaminated at one time, providing an improvement in throughput as well as speed.

FULLY MONITORED PROCESS

The ClO2 concentration is monitored in real-time using spectrophotometer for each cycle. This immediate parametric validation that the required exposure time was achieved and the cycle was a success, this also confirms areas as safe to re-enter. Providing an option to move away from routine use of Biological Indicators.

NON-CORROSIVE

Chlorine Dioxide is not corrosive, however, previous ClO2 technologies include a “wet” generation method that yields corrosive residual acidic by-product`s. ClO2 itself is not corrosive. Unlike these previous technologies, our ClO2 is produced as a dry gas meaning no acidic residues are exposed to the target environment.

THE BENEFITS FOR INDUSTRY

Dry gas ClO2 decontamination is the ideal method for sterilisation and chemical decontamination in many sectors.
