Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit: Advanced Wastewater Treatment for Biosafety Level 2 and 3 Facilities

Introduction

In today’s world, managing and treating wastewater, especially from high-risk environments such as laboratories and hospitals, is crucial to prevent contamination and safeguard public health. The Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit developed jointly between PT Hadde Prolifik Internasional with PT Centra Rekayasa Enviro is a state-of-the-art system designed specifically for the disinfection and treatment of wastewater from facilities with Biosafety Level (BSL) 2 and 3.

This innovative solution combines advanced electrocoagulation technology, dual disinfection, and a nano filtration system to ensure that wastewater is thoroughly treated, safe, and environmentally friendly.

Understanding the Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit

The Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit is an Integrated Wastewater Treatment System (IPAL) designed to handle a capacity of 2 - 5 m³ per day. It uses a combination of electrochemical and physical treatment methods to remove contaminants effectively. The system’s robust design makes it ideal for laboratories, hospitals, and pharmaceutical industries where biosafety is paramount.

Key Features of the Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit

Capacity: Processes up to 2 - 5 m³ of wastewater per day. Custom capacity available upon request.
Material: Constructed using corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel 316L.
Electrocoagulation Process: Utilizes closed tubular reactors equipped with aluminum electrodes to induce coagulation of contaminants. Generates hydroxyl radicals (·OH) that aid in the breakdown of complex pollutants without the need for dosing coagulants.
Nano-Fiber Filtration: Employs C-MEM nano-filtration technology featuring hollow fiber cartridges.
Effectively removes suspended solids, bacteria, and viruses from wastewater.
Dual Disinfection Mechanism: Combines ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and ozone injection to ensure comprehensive elimination of pathogens. Provides a robust barrier against microbial contaminants, meeting stringent biosafety standards.
Digital Control System: Equipped with a centralized digital panel for real-time monitoring and control of operational parameters. Ensures optimal performance and facilitates maintenance procedures.

How It Works: A Multi-Stage Treatment Process

The Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit employs a five-stage treatment process to ensure thorough wastewater disinfection and purification:

1. Pretreatment

Wastewater is filtered through a coarse screen to remove large particles and debris.
No coagulants are added, as the electrocoagulation process itself handles coagulation in subsequent stages.

2. Electrocoagulation

The wastewater flows into a closed tubular electrocoagulation reactor equipped with aluminum electrodes.
A controlled electrical current generates Al³⁺ ions from the electrodes, which react with contaminants to form flocculants.
These flocculants trap suspended solids and pollutants, settling at the bottom of the reactor for removal.

3. Filtration

The treated water is purified further through a nano-fiber filtration system using C-MEM technology.
This ultrafiltration process effectively removes fine particulates, bacteria, and viruses, ensuring high water clarity.
An automatic backwash system maintains filter performance, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.

4. Dual Disinfection: UV and Ozone Injection

The filtered water undergoes dual disinfection:
- UV Disinfection: Water passes through a UV chamber with specialized lamps emitting light at a 254 nm wavelength to destroy microbial DNA.
- Ozone Injection: Ozone is injected into the water, providing an additional layer of disinfection by oxidizing and neutralizing remaining pathogens.

5. Output

The disinfected water is discharged through an outlet, ready for safe disposal or potential reuse in compliance with biosafety and environmental standards.

Key Advantages of the Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit

1. High Efficiency with Low Energy Consumption

The unit’s energy-efficient design ensures that it operates at minimal power consumption while delivering high-efficiency treatment.
Its compact and modular design allows for easy installation and scalability.

2. Comprehensive Treatment for High-Risk Environments

Designed to meet the stringent safety standards required for Biosafety Level 2 and 3 laboratories, pharmaceutical industries, and healthcare facilities.
The combination of electrocoagulation and UV disinfection ensures that even the most resistant pathogens are effectively neutralized.

3. Environmentally Friendly

The use of aluminum electrodes for electrocoagulation is cost-effective and reduces chemical waste.
By eliminating the need for harsh chemical disinfectants, the system is more environmentally sustainable.

Applications of the Bio Electro Disinfectant Unit

The unit is versatile and can be deployed in various high-risk settings, including:

BSL 2 and BSL 3 Laboratories: Ensuring the safe treatment of wastewater containing potentially infectious agents.
Hospitals and Clinics: Disinfecting wastewater generated from medical procedures to prevent the spread of pathogens.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Treating effluents from drug production processes to meet regulatory standards.
Urban Wastewater Treatment: Can be used in municipal treatment facilities to enhance the quality of effluent discharge.
