Clean In Place Water System – Disinfection in the Built Environment

Hospitals Now Using Pulse Oxidation Technology

Water disinfection in hospitals is an essential practice to safeguard patient health, ensure compliance with safety standards, and maintain the overall quality of the healthcare environment. Pulse Oxidation, a chemical-free technology, offers a highly efficient, comprehensive, and sustainable approach to disinfecting hospital water systems. By thoroughly treating all parts of the water distribution system, hospitals can reduce the risk of infection and improve patient outcomes, creating a safer and cleaner environment for everyone.

In healthcare facilities, water systems are critical to the safety and well-being of patients, staff, and visitors. Hospitals, with their complex and high-demand environments, rely on clean water for numerous essential functions. However, over time, hospital water pipes and storage tanks can accumulate bacteria, biofilms, and other harmful pathogens that pose significant risks to health. Effective water system disinfection is vital to prevent the spread of infections and ensure water quality.

Pulse Oxidation is an advanced, chemical-free and highly efficient method of water disinfection and biofilm removal technology. This state-of-the-art approach, ensures a thorough, continuous disinfection and cleaning of hospital water systems, safeguarding patients and healthcare providers from waterborne diseases.

What is Pulse Oxidation Technology?

Pulse Oxidation Technology involves the introduction of a chemical-free disinfection process into the water supply, generated in situ and on demand, or dosed in a manner that ensures continuous effective control of the entire water distribution system. This technology is particularly effective in large-scale environments like hospitals and health care facilties where water systems can be extensive and complex.

Why Disinfect Hospital Water Systems?

The healthcare environment is particularly vulnerable to waterborne pathogens, including bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila (which causes Legionnaires’ disease), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. These pathogens can thrive in the water supply and biofilm layers within pipes and tanks, posing a risk to patients, especially those with compromised immune systems.

Key reasons for hospital water system disinfection

Preventing Infections

Waterborne pathogens can lead to infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and wound infections.

Maintaining Water Quality

Ensuring water is free from harmful microorganisms.

Regulatory Compliance

Hospitals are required to meet stringent local and international water safety standards.

Protecting Sensitive Equipment

Disinfection helps preserve the integrity of medical equipment that relies on the water system.

Advantages of Using Pulse Oxidation Technology (POb) for Hospital Water Disinfection

Effective Coverage: Unlike traditional methods that may miss hard-to-reach areas, Pulse Oxidation technology ensures complete coverage of the entire water system.
Low Maintenance: Once the system is installed, it requires minimal intervention and can be operated and monitored automatically.
Long-Lasting Results: The disinfectant is generated as water flows and maintains effective biological control within the water system.
Eco-Friendly: disinfectant, such as ozone, breaks down into harmless oxygen and water, making it safe and environmentally friendly compared to chemical alternatives.
Reduced Risk of Legionella and Other Pathogens: By eliminating biofilm and killing waterborne pathogens, the system significantly reduces the risk of waterborne diseases.
