The latest in decontamination technology, Binary Ionization Technology (BIT™) is EPA approved for use against SARS-CoV-2 (emerging viral pathogens).
Disinfection Facts
Most disinfectants are registered to kill 99.9% leaving 1000 bacteria even after applied. Analyze the facts of each additional “log” for a small colony of a million bacteria.
Reduces the colony to 100,000 bacteria after a 90% reduction
Reduces the colony to 10,000 bacteria after a 99% reduction
Reduces the colony to 1,000 bacteria after a 99.9% reduction
Reduces the colony to 100 bacteria after a 99.99% reduction
Reduces the colony to 10 bacteria after a 99.999% reduction
Reduces the colony to 1 bacteria after a 99.9999% reduction
The Technology
Binary Ionization Technology (BIT™), a patented two-step process that activates and ionizes a 7.8% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) sole active ingredient based solution into a fine mist/fog known as ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™).
Developed by US Defense (DARPA) to defend against biological and chemical agents. Developed in response to 2001 Anthrax attack. Sterimist BIT™ is declassified US Defense (DARPA) technology giving you world class protection for your facility.
County Spotlight: SteraMist Decontamination Unit
The Basic Liquid
The base for this unique technology is hydro peroxide.
In other solutions in the market the concentration in the acid liquid is around 30% and is therefore dangerous for sensitive electronics or aluminium parts. With a concentration of just 7,8% hydrogen peroxide, the non-corrosive solution offers a complete disinfection without harming any electrical system.
Thanks to the lower concentration of hydro peroxide the SteraMist® solution is not classified as dangerous good compared to other solutions.
The Transforming Plasma Arc
The 7.8% solution is being sprayed between two high voltage electrodes generating a plasma arc.
A plasma consists of a gas of ions-atoms which have some of their orbital electrons removed – and free electrons. This chemical process results in a very high concentration of hydroxil radicals in the mixture.
The Resulting Gas-Fog
The system transforms the spray into an unique gas-fog with extraordinary power.
The outcoming gas-fog, or more precisely the Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide™ is highly effective on a microbiological base. It damages pathogenic organisms through oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. This results in immediate cellular disruption and/or dysfunction of any kind of germs, microbes, and viruses including the influenza virus and (SARS-CoV-2). All of them are being killed in 3-5 seconds.
The gas texture assures that even the smallest corners and areas are reached, which is an advantage that no other conventional method can offer. So, it covers every smallest corner and all the areas that no cleaning rack will ever reach. The gas-fog may also be blown into the intakes of the air-conditioning system which has to be set into recirculation mode.
The Benefit of Non-corrosiveness
With being non-corrosive the Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide™ offers an outstanding unique benefit for your assets
The solution does not harm any electronics and other sensitive parts. Also, your valuable fabrics, textiles, hard and soft surfaces will not take any harm.
iHP™ Technology
Developed by US Defense (DARPA) to defend against biological and chemical agents. Developed in response to 2001 Anthrax attack. Sterimist BIT™ is declassified US Defence (DARPA) technology giving you world class protection for your facility.
The EPA registered 7.8% hydrogen peroxide BIT™ Solution converts to iHP™ after passing through a cold plasma arc.
Binary Ionization Technology (BIT™) Solution – EPA Reg. No. 90150-2
iHP™ is carried throughout the mist, moving like a gas throughout the treated area. iHP™ contains a high concentration of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) composed mostly of Hydroxyl Radicals.
iHP™ damages pathogenic organisms through oxida-tion of proteins, carbohy-drates, and lipids.
Cellular disruptions and/or dysfunctions occur and allows for disinfection in the targeted area.
The atmospheric cold plasma arc converts the H2O2 molecules into iHP™. As one of the most powerful oxidizing agents in nature, the iHP™ kills the pathogens achieving high efficacy and leaves behind only oxygen and humidity in treated spaces.
