"Integrated Technology based solution" For Hospital
|
|
Chemtronics has successfully designed and installed solution to
integrate and retrofit with the present and conventional system with proven and
time tested ozone based technology. Its technology integration gives buy back of
CapEx in reasonably short period depending upon the application and customised
solution. Ozone is one of the most advance technologies and can be integrated
with great advantage in treatment of Water, Waste Water and air treatment in
hospital.

IN LAUNDRY: -
• Textile suppliers to hospitals
and hospital laundries face great pressures to meet
high standards of hygiene, quality, logistics, cost
optimization and transparency.
• Textiles must be handled correctly to limit the
transfer of dangerous bacteria amongst patients and
healthcare staff and the right wash processes are
vital for the desired result. |
|
• As pressure grows on hospitals to cut costs,
healthcare administrators are weighing the cost of
outsourcing their linen services to textile rental
companies against the cost-effectiveness of
operating an on-premise laundry (OPL).
• A bad linen service is one of the most frequently heard complaints in a
hospital. Attention to patients' personal needs and
comforts are as important as the physician's
medication and therefore adequate supply of clean
linen becomes imperative. Besides helping in
maintaining a clean environment, clean linen is a
vital element in providing high-quality medical
care. Also, pleasant employees in a fresh and neat
uniform go a long way in creating a positive image
of the hospital.
• The prevention of microbiological contamination is
the most significant requirement for the hygienic
processing of textiles.
• Hospital bed sheets, gowns, uniforms, towels and
cleaning mops are potential tools for spreading
infections.
• Properly controlled laundry processes can limit
the spread of bacteria. Good practices start with
appropriate washing techniques that will ensure
decontamination of linen.
• The use of ozone in the laundry water reduces the
requirement of detergents and also the wash can be
achieved with lower temperatures.
• Ozone acts as a chemical enhancer. When applied
properly ozone; Reduces water use, reduces fuel use
in making hot water. Reduces chemical use, reduces
waste water contamination. Ozone is also effective
in Reducing fabric degradation .Extending linen life
reducing formula run time (productive hours).
extending equipment life
• Reduces energy cost of heating.
• Ozone destroys the residual alkali, eliminating the salt crystals left by the residual alkali and so eliminating the need for fabric softener. Once the fabric softener is removed, the drying time is substantially reduced which in turn results in additional energy savings.

IN DRINKING WATER: -
The Hospital Water
Supply as a Source of Nosocomial Infections.
• Some of the most frequently isolated
gram-negative bacteria, including
Pseudomonas and Enterobacter, have been
found to persist in hospital water for
extended periods and have been responsible
for nosocominal outbreaks.
• Contamination of the hospital water supply
with potentially pathogenic organisms is
very common,
• Impurities in potable water cases health
disorders. In the hospitals patients
generally take the drinking water directly
from the supplies provided by the public
health engineering. If this water becomes
contaminated, the patient may suffer from
some water borne disease.
|
|
• The drinking water
distribution system of a hospital mainly
obtained Legionella and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa Moreover, several other
opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, such as
Escherichia albertii, Acinetobacter lwoffi
and Corynebacterium tuberculostrearicum
emphasizing that drinking water systems,
especially those with stagnant water
sections, could be the source of nosocomial
infections.
• Ozone is both a strong oxidizing agent as
well as a strong disinfectant
• Ozone interferes with the metabolism of
bacterium cells most likely through
inhibiting and blocking the operation of the
enzymatic control system.
• A sufficient amount of ozone breaks
through the cell membrane, and this leads to
the destruction of the bacteria.
• Ozone destroys viruses by diffusing
through the protein coat into nucleic acid
core, resulting in damage of the viral RNA.

IN AIR CONDITIONING: -
By treating the air
conditioning system with ozone, you can
prevent the buildup of bacteria and fungi
this will eliminate bad smell and the spread
of health problems such as, allergies,
rashes, colds, viruses & legionnaires.
IN HVAC: -
• Ozone has been
successfully reduced smell, bacteria, mould,
mildew and other mi.cro organisms from the
HVAC system. Ozone is increasingly being
used in HVAC system to improve the indoor
air quality and also to improve the energy
efficiency of the HVAC cooling coils.
• Controlled quantity of ozone introduces in
the AC Ducts Eliminates Toxic gasses, odors
smoke by oxidation and microbes & virus.
IN OPERATION ROOM:-
• It is very important to
maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ) in OR
to ensure health and safety for the patient
and surgical team. A significant
consideration in ORs is the control of
aerosols, anesthesia gases and smoke.
Aerosols are solid and liquid particles,
• It is very important to maintain good
indoor air quality (IAQ) in OR to ensure
health and safety for the patient and
surgical team.
|
|
• A significant
consideration in ORs is the control of
aerosols, anesthesia gases and smoke. In OR,
however the main sources have an indoor
origin are the patient, the surgical team
and equipment. The anesthesia gases
dispersed in ORs are also considered as
pollutants. The anesthesia gases are
dispersed in the environment through
problems in the equipment and from the
exhalations of the patient. Some gases used
in the surgery, for example, NO2 will
continue to be exhaled by the patient for up
to one hour after the surgery is finished.
During surgery the highest concentration of
gases is on the floor. However, with the
movements of people these gases can be mixed
with room air and inhaled by the surgical
team.
• The concentration of gases in the OR is
critical and needs to be controlled;
otherwise the productivity and quality of
the work of the surgical team can decrease,
and in the medium and long term health
problems may occur.
• Halothane gas, for example, has a high
toxicity and can affect the central nervous
system. The gas concentration is controlled
by the air change rate in the OR by dilution
to acceptable levels.
• The smoke can be generated by laser or
electro surgery unit. “Research studies have
confirmed that this smoke plume can contain
toxic gases and vapours such as benzene,
hydrogen cyanide, and Formaldehyde,
bioaerosols, dead and live cellular material
(including blood fragments), and viruses. At
high concentrations the smoke causes ocular
and upper respiratory tract irritation in
health care personnel, and creates visual
problems for the surgeon.
• In some critical situations the indoor air
in OR will be ultra-cleaned, for example,
for orthopedic surgery, traumas, implants,
burn patients, and other situations where
the patient isimmunocompromised. Otherwise,
when the surgery is septic, there should be
also a higher control in the indoor
environment, to protect the adjacent areas.
• In OR Air Conditioner duct system
instilled.
• AHU Ozone generators the released ozone
combines with the mainstream air in the
supply air duct and reaches the space. It is
present in the indoor space at the times at
low concentration. When it encounters
chemical pollutants, it almost instantly
oxidize them and keeps the indoor air free
of chemical pollutants VOC as interferes
with metabolism of cell multiplication of
fungi resulting in the reduction of fungi
along which is responsible for vide range of
indoor related allergies. |

IN COOLING TOWER: -
• Cooling tower water
requires extensive treatment. During Cooling
Tower water treatment, three main factors
must be controlled.
• Corrosion of pipes and heat exchanger
units.
• Scaling in pipes and (mainly) in heat
exchangers.
• Microbial growth (bacteria algae).
|
|
• These three aspects cannot
be viewed separately. Conventional treatment
techniques are mainly applications of
chemical biocides, corrosion inhibitors and
scale inhibitors. Ozone is a reliable
alternative that controls the
above-mentioned factors sufficiently.
• Makes the water crystal clear, eliminating
all turbidity.
• Dissolves the scale and inhibits further
scaling, hence improving heat transfer and
further saving on chemicals and pollution.
• Reduced Chemical Usage – Chlorine can
substitute for several chemicals in a
cooling tower treatment package, reducing
and possibly eliminating the use of such
chemicals.
• Increases dramatically Heat Transfer
Efficiency. |
