Steritroxing controls and exploits the killing power
of advanced oxidation technology in a way previously
unavailable. The key technology that the Steritroxing
process utilises to deliver its huge sterilising charge is based on the
production of free radicals through the generation of aqueous ozone.
Free
radicals are powerful bactericidal and virucidal agents which are
managed safely, effectively and efficiently by an advanced control
system.
This vapour diffuses into every corner of the workspace, bathing all
exposed surfaces and penetrating deep into hidden areas and fabrics.
The free radical cascade destroys molecular biofilm and exposes
resistant environmental contaminants to a natural biocide to which they
can develop no defence. Put simply, bacteria are unable to build
resistance to this form of attack.
Towards the end of the programmed cycle a further catalyst is
injected that creates a secondary burst of free radicals massively
enhancing the kill rate for a further short period and then quickly
absorbs the remaining ozone concentration down to a safe level for
personnel to re-enter the room, all typically within one hour. The speed
at which Steritroxing reduces ozone concentration to a safe level is
something that no other system can match, meaning that production
down-time is kept to a minimum.
