How it Works - RBDS : The Equipment

Each RBDS cycle is run with a unique configuration of equipment called a “network”.

The network consists of a control station or laptop to which we connect individual component’s as required. Each “network” is created from 4 discrete components.

All these components are designed for ease of movement and to be completely self decontaminated during the RBDS cycle so they do not transfer pathogens from area to area.

Clarus R HPV Generator

BIOQUELL have taken a novel and unique approach, investing heavily in research and development and making its room biodecontamination equipment portable and lightweight (25kg) and self decontaminating so that it can be easily and quickly deployed in any contaminated environment.

The Clarus R is located within the room, which allows for vastly increased vapour distribution. The nozzle produces a vapour stream with a velocity of 30m/s while rotating on 2 axis giving a wide ranging and uniform coverage. The kinetic energy of the vapour leaving the nozzle causes the gas to “bounce” off surfaces meaning that it is capable of penetrating otherwise occluded surfaces.

The capacity of a single BIOQUELL Clarus R European version is 500m3 in an empty room. However, the Clarus R is designed to be ‘daisy-chained’ together and operated from a single control point, creating an “infinitely scalable” system.

Clarus R2 Catalytic Aerator

The Clarus R2 is a rapid catalyst that converts the hydrogen peroxide vapour into oxygen and water vapour. These are connected to the “network” via the Clarius R.

This allows for the aeration of the area even if the building HVAC system cannot be used.

Clarus R20 Catalytic Aerator

The Clarus R20 is a higher powered version of the R2 giving up to 5 times the air flow and faster aeration. These are connected to the network either through the clarus R or directly to the controller.

This allows for the rapid aeration of the area even if the building HVAC system cannot be used.

IM (Instrumentation Module)

The Instrumentation module monitors all stages of the cycle and also monitors environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. This generates a trace plot showing HPV concentration and saturation point. This can be plotted against time to show the dwell phase and this data is used to issue preliminary decontamination certificate.
