Disinfection is an effective measure to cut off the transmission of infectious diseases. The occurrence of the COVID-19 has raised the importance of biosafety to an unprecedented height.
Among numerous disinfection technologies, Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP), as an advanced high-level green disinfection technology, has significant advantages over traditional formaldehyde fumigation and chlorine dioxide gas disinfection in terms of sterilization effectiveness, personnel safety, material compatibility, and environmental friendliness. It has become one of the mainstream technologies for killing space microorganisms worldwide. So far, over 85% of the global pharmaceutical industry’s sterile isolators use VHP technology as a biological decontamination option. VHP is widely used in isolation devices, air filters, sterile filling lines, high-level biosafety laboratories, infectious disease wards, isolation stretchers, ambulances, and other fields for disinfection and treatment.
Vaporized hydrogen peroxide disinfection and sterilization technology is a technology that utilizes the advantage of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) being more capable of killing bacterial spores in a gaseous state than in a liquid state at room temperature. By generating free hydroxyl groups, it is used to attack cellular components, including lipids, proteins, and DNA, in order to achieve complete sterilization requirements. In short, it is to transform liquid hydrogen peroxide into a vapor or dry mist gas for overall environmental disinfection.
(VHP sterilization principle)
Excessive concentration of hydrogen peroxide can easily cause corrosive effects, so uniform spraying is one of the key factors to ensure the effectiveness of VHP disinfection and sterilization. VHP typically uses a 35% concentration of hydrogen peroxide, which is instantaneously evaporated (flashed) in the generator and then dynamically sprayed into the target area. To ensure uniform distribution, the nozzle rotates horizontally and vertically at a speed of nearly 30 m/s. During this process, the peristaltic pump serves as a key power equipment for transporting hydrogen peroxide solution, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of hydrogen peroxide solution delivery in the VHP system through a stable and uniform liquid supply. It ensures the uniform distribution of hydrogen peroxide within the disinfection target, thereby achieving the expected disinfection and sterilization goals.
