CYCLOBATCH - Industrial decontamination system

Patented batch decontamination system for solids and viscous products.

The Cyclobatch was designed to treat what continuous systems cannot: effluents loaded with solids, high-viscosity products, and fluids prone to foaming. Based on a patented batch process (FR1363330), it combines tangential steam injection directly into the treatment tank, pressure-driven discharge generated during the heating cycle, and a design free of vent filters or transfer pumps. The result: a reliable, quiet, and compact system with low investment and maintenance costs, available in five sizes to precisely match the daily volumes of any site.

  • Treatment capacity: Up to 4,200 gal/day (16,000 L/day)
  • Energy source: Steam
  • Effluent type: Solids, viscous products, foaming effluents
  • Technology: Patented batch system (FR1363330)
  • Heating: Direct steam injection (indirect heating option available for high containment)

Why choose the Cyclobatch?

The Cyclobatch meets a need that continuous flow decontamination systems cannot satisfy: the reliable treatment of solid, viscous, or foaming effluents. Its patented design eliminates the most common failure points of classic batch systems, vent filter clogging, gas release, and pump leak risks, while significantly reducing noise emissions (75 dBa vs. 100 dBa for conventional batch systems). Available in five models (BDS-30 to BDS-2200), it covers daily capacities from 26 to 4,200 gallons (100 to 16,000 litres) depending on temperature, holding time, and available utilities. A compact, cost-effective, and redundant solution, particularly suited for high-containment environments.

Tangential steam injection: homogeneous treatment without an agitator

The heart of the Cyclobatch process lies in tangential steam injection directly into the product. This technology generates a natural rotary movement within the tank, ensuring a rapid and uniform temperature rise throughout the volume with no cold spots. It keeps solids and particles in suspension throughout the cycle without requiring a mechanical agitator, a common source of maintenance and leak risks in confined environments.

No vent filter, no clogging, no gas release

Unlike conventional batch systems, the Cyclobatch does not require a vent filter on the treatment tank. This design eliminates the risk of clogging from foaming or solid-laden effluents, one of the primary causes of unplanned downtime in classic batch systems. The absence of gas release also removes constraints related to managing vapors at the tank outlet.

Pressure-driven discharge: no transfer pump required

Tank drainage is handled by the pressure naturally generated during the heating cycle, without the need for a dedicated transfer pump. This design removes a mechanical component prone to leaks in high-containment environments, reduces maintenance costs, and simplifies the overall hydraulic architecture of the system.

Reduced noise emissions: 75 dBa vs. 100 dBa

The Cyclobatch generates a noise level of 75 dBa during operation, compared to 100 dBa for traditional batch systems. This significant reduction improves working conditions for operators and facilitates system integration into laboratory or production spaces where noise pollution is regulated or undesirable.

Redundancy options with dual treatment tanks

For sites where treatment continuity is critical, the Cyclobatch can be configured with two treatment tanks (kill tanks) in parallel. This configuration ensures system redundancy: in the event of maintenance or an incident on one tank, the second takes over without interrupting effluent treatment.

Indirect heating option for high-containment applications

For applications requiring a high level of containment, such as Risk Group 3 pathogens or effluents at risk of cross-contamination via steam, the Cyclobatch is available with indirect heating technology. This option maintains a physical separation between the steam and the product, enhancing process safety in the most sensitive environments.

No transfer pump

Discharge via natural pressure removes a mechanical component prone to leaks in high-containment environments.

Maintenance

Reduced maintenance

Fewer mechanical parts, fewer failure points, and fewer preventive interventions lead to a controlled total cost of ownership over time.

Five models available, all designed to minimize floor space while maximizing treatment capacity.

Fields of application

Laboratories handling solid or viscous effluents:
The gold standard for labs generating effluents loaded with biological solids, dense culture broths, or high-viscosity gels that no continuous system can reliably treat.

Fermentation and bioreaction production units:
Fermentation processes generate complex effluents, cell broths, biomass, viscous by-products, that require batch treatment capable of keeping solids in suspension.

High-containment environments (BSL3 and BSL3+):
The indirect heating option and pump-free/filter-free architecture make the Cyclobatch ideal for facilities handling Risk Group 3 agents or higher.

Biopharmaceutical and biotechnology industries:
Sites producing antibodies or viral vectors generate complex effluents where viscosity and solid load vary; the Cyclobatch adapts to these changes without process modifications.

Food and industrial fermentation industries:
Food production sites generating organic loads, yeasts, fermentation residues, transformation by-products, benefit from a non-clogging solution.

Veterinary and agrobiological industries:
Production of veterinary vaccines or biopesticides involves effluents often loaded with biomass; the Cyclobatch ensures reliable decontamination according to regulatory protocols.

Chemical and biological specialty industries:
The flexibility of the BDS range (5 sizes) allows for precise sizing based on the actual volume of microbial or enzymatic effluents generated.

Sites requiring high reliability and guaranteed continuity:
The dual-tank configuration is the preferred choice for sites where effluent treatment downtime is not an option for regulatory or environmental reasons.
