Service Providing VPHP Fumigation of Equipment and Facilities Announced

Many of BPS Crowthorne service customers perform their own fumigation prior to the servicing of their equipment and facilities. However, by encapsulating the expertise of its sister company Crowthorne Hi-Tec Services (CHTS), BPS Crowthorne can perform this fumigation with its equipment bio-decontamination service (EBDS), thus ensuring a full and successful service with minimal disruption and downtime. Not only does the EBDS service save the customer time, it also saves the capital outlay of buying the necessary equipment.

Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚ (hydrogen peroxide) is an oxidising agent which, when it comes into contact with micro-organisms, oxidises their cells or spores, thus deactivating them. It is however, a surface decontaminant so may not penetrate dirt and detritus; heavily soiled surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned prior to decontamination. This system is operated at ambient room temperature and relative humidity, without the need to significantly reduce humidity, which was traditionally required for fumigation bio-decontamination.

There is now a large body of published scientific research demonstrating that hydrogen peroxide vapour technology is able to inactivate bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as reduce healthcare associated infections (HAIs), giving you assurance of a 6-log spore reduction.

Not only is VPHP/ VHP an effective decontaminator, it is significantly less hazardous to health than traditional fumigation methods.
