Laboratory effluent treatment system

for hospitalfor healthcare facilities

Overview
H2O EQUIPEMENT provides a fully integrated continuous bacteriological effluent treatment station based on a two-tank process and two complementary reagents: a disinfectant followed by a neutralizer. Incoming effluents are first treated in the primary tank for microbial inactivation, then routed to a secondary tank for pH adjustment and removal of residual aggressiveness before discharge or transfer to the authorized wastewater network.

Process — Two-step continuous treatment

• Step 1: Disinfection in the first tank to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, spores).
• Step 2: Neutralization in the second tank to adjust pH and eliminate residual chemical aggressiveness to ensure compatibility with sewer networks and regulatory compliance.

Key features

• Continuous operation based on a dual-tank configuration combining disinfection and neutralization.
• Custom-designed tanks (diameter and height adapted to required volume and site constraints).
• Automation with continuous supervision: pH monitoring, alarms, data traceability and reporting.
• Centralized alarm management with integration to supervision systems or BMS/BAS.
• Options for maintenance contract and supply of reagent products (French origin available).

Applications

• Morgue effluent treatment: secure handling of water from mortuary rooms and post‑mortem care areas.
• Laboratory effluent treatment: protection of wastewater networks from contamination arising from biological manipulations.
• Anatomical pathology (anapath) effluent treatment: safe management of pathology laboratory discharges.
• Autopsy service effluent treatment: containment and neutralization of highly contaminated water generated during autopsies.

Advantages

• Immediate reduction of infectious risks through validated disinfection.
• Full automation: continuous supervision, pH control, alarms and traceability for operational safety.
• Adaptability: tanks and layout tailored to volumes and passage constraints (height, width).
• Regulatory compliance: designed and manufactured to meet hospital and laboratory discharge standards.
• Continuous operation minimizing manual handling and downtime.

FAQ (summarized)

• What is a bacteriological effluent? Wastewater potentially contaminated with infectious agents originating from hospitals, laboratories, morgues or autopsy rooms.
• Why disinfect and neutralize? Disinfection removes pathogens (bacteria, viruses, spores); neutralization adjusts pH and removes residual chemical aggressiveness to allow safe, regulation‑compliant discharge.
• What does the continuous treatment station include? An automated system with two successive tanks: first for disinfection, second for neutralization, enabling constant and secure treatment.
• Can the station be adapted to facility needs? Yes — each installation is custom‑designed to adapt to volumes, passage constraints (height, width) and local regulations.

• Mandatory safety: double retention basin with leak detection for tanks.
• Chemical handling: separate tanks for disinfectant and neutralizer, each with mandatory retention.
• Control & safety: centralized alarms in control panel; reporting to supervision systems or BMS/BAS.
• Automation: continuous supervision including pH control, alarms and traceability.
• Manufacturing: design and manufacturing in full compliance with applicable regulations for hospital and laboratory discharges.
• Maintenance & supply: possibility of maintenance contract and supply of reagent products (French origin available).
