What are the advantages of ethylene oxide sterilization?
2022-12-08
In fact, the ethylene oxide sterilization device is a key equipment of disposable ethylene oxide treatment factory. There are special requirements for installation, operation and use management. Ethylene oxide is used as the sterilizing agent. Ethylene oxide is a broad-spectrum sterilizing agent, which can kill various microorganisms, including spores, tuberculosis bacteria, bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. at room temperature.
Advantages:
1 It can kill all microorganisms, including bacterial spores.
2 Sterilized articles can be packaged and packaged as a whole, and can be kept sterile before use.
3 Relatively speaking, EO does not corrode plastic, metal and rubber, and will not make articles yellow or brittle.
4 It can penetrate and sterilize articles with irregular shape.
5 It can be used for the sterilization of articles that cannot be soaked with disinfectant and sterilized by dry heat, pressure, steam and other chemical gases.
The principle of ethylene oxide sterilization is to cause the protein to lose its reaction group, hinder the normal biochemical reaction and metabolism of the protein, and cause the death of microorganisms by alkylating it with the sulfhydryl (- SH), amino (- NH2), hydroxyl (- OH) and carboxyl (- COOH) on the protein molecule and the imino (- NH -) on the nucleic acid molecule. Ethylene oxide has high disinfection and sterilization effect.

Waste gas treatment or Scrubber
The waste gas mainly comes from the ethylene oxide gas produced by the sterilization process and aeration chamber. We offer two different ways to reduce the waste EO gas concentration(PPM) to achieve the limited requirement you need--scrubber or the catalyst using electricity. Two different ways to reduce the PPM of the EO waste gas.
