BioWaste Effluent Decontamination Systems and BioKill Systems

Introduction To BioWaste Effluent Decontamination Systems and BioKill Systems

Suncombe BioWaste Effluent Decontamination Systems (EDS) decontaminate liquid hazardous infectious waste streams and liquid streams with solid suspension for research, production,laboratory and bio-containment environments. These can also be referred to as Effluent BioWaste Treatment Plant Solutions

(ETP), and BioKill Systems. Our world-class EDS systems are utilised by multiple global leading institutions. Using robust, proven design principles, our systems deal with BSL Bio Safety Level 1 to 4 waste and take into account two main areas of concern:

  • Firstly, the systems effectively sterilise or inactivate any harmful pathogens in the waste stream;

  • Secondly, they ensure total containment at all times.

Read More Among the leading EDS manufacturers in the UK, Suncombe has six decades of experience in designing and manufacturing ETPs and EDS systems in the UK. We treat waste across industries including large-scale production plants, biocontainment facilities, and research laboratories. We classify our ETPs or EDS according to the Hazard Group (HG), Biosafety Level (BSL), or Containment Level (CL). Ensure the highest-quality decontamination with Suncombe’s biowaste effluent decontamination systems services in the UK, and worldwide.

Peter Timotheou Operations Director, Tims Dairy Ltd

“ I would not hesitate to recommend or to use Suncombe again in the future. Throughout this project from design to build and test they delivered at every single milestone in terms of date and budget. Working with Dave, Steve, Mark, and the build team was a joy throughout what was a very technically difficult project to execute. For me Suncombe operate with integrity, with trust and deliver what they promise. ”

Mark Hodgson Process Design Lead, GSK Ulvertson

“...the Suncombe engineers were incredibly highly regarded by the client ...they somehow managed to keep to the original time schedule, which was a credit to their staff and their project management skills. They are a really friendly team, and I look forward to working with them again. ”

Fearghal Downey Hyde Engineering + Consulting

“ As well as one project for Roche in Shanghai, we’ve worked with Suncombe on projects for Novartis in Switzerland, and most recently in Spain. The communication was good. Their documentation was brilliant. …if you asked me whether I'd work with Suncombe again – I’d say ‘definitely’ ”

Andrew Lemaire Director, DEC Group

“ We're happy with the machine [the washer], the performance, the build quality, everything. It ticks all the boxes and it does what’s required. It’s robust and reliable, and just ticks along in the background, which is exactly what we need. ”

John Large Technician, BCM Specials

“ I worked closely with Suncombe to develop and manufacture wash booths for several secondary pharmaceutical applications. Manufacturing workmanship has always been superb and occasional quality issues addressed quickly and efficiently. Management commitment and support is second to none. ”

Peter Slee-Smith Operations Director, Matcon (2001 to 2008)

“ It's definitely the most complex filtration, cleaning and sterilisation process I’ve worked on. Their technology knowledge was very impressive and their ability to build bespoke units was very impressive too. Also, I think just the friendliness of the team really helped; it was a nice group of guys to work with. ”

James Finn CEng MIChemE, Senior Process Engineer at Integrated Project Services Ltd

“Suncombe have been excellent. They’ve supported us with aftersales servicing and calibration needs... They’ve recently assisted us with a non-Suncombe skid, too, which has been a great help in extending the life of this asset. I always get a quick response to any requests for help. A very professional and courteous service.”

Graeme Forbes - Manufacturing Engineer - Thermo Fisher Scientific

Despite what some might say, it is possible to have fond memories of HAZOPs and if the Suncombe team are attending you know they will have excellent technical representation from their team which really makes everyone’s lives a little easier 😃.

Tony Smith - Animal Services Capability Leader at The Pirbright Institute (retired)

Our good friend “Google” helped me track down “Suncombe” and that got me in contact with the team. With the little information I had, they were able to track the original installation that had taken place in the UK back in the early 2000’s. From there they were able to trace all the paperwork and offer us it on as electronic documents which enabled us to get it to the engineers in Malaysia in double quick time. We were certainly having a bad day but Suncombe turned it into a very good day.
