Understanding Effluent Decontamination Systems
Laboratory Effluent Decontamination Systems (EDS) are critical for treating liquid waste generated from labs working with hazardous biological or chemical materials. These systems neutralise or sterilise potentially harmful substances before releasing the effluent into the environment or municipal sewage systems. Using methods like thermal treatment, chemical disinfection, or filtration, EDS ensures that harmful pathogens, toxins, and contaminants are rendered safe. They are vital in high-security labs, hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and research facilities to comply with safety regulations, prevent contamination, and protect public health and the environment.
