“Our facility implemented the STI system for solid waste management and it has greatly improved our waste disposal process. The system is efficient and environmentally friendly.”
Ensure your facility meets BSL-3 and BSL-4 compliance with a U.S.-engineered Effluent Decontamination Systems (EDS). Eliminate contamination risks and prevent downtime with a system designed for your specific needs.
Get an EDS system engineered for batch or continuous flow treatment using the thermal or chemical processes your facility requires. Effectively neutralize liquid waste contaminants in agricultural, biopharmaceutical, and research facilities up to BSL-3 and BSL-4 classification.
Your system can be configured to treat contaminants including:
Select the optimal system configuration based on your facility’s waste composition, throughput, and operational needs. Both continuous and batch EDS systems offer validated, reliable performance.
Choose a continuous flow system for steady waste generation and predictable loads. This design maximizes energy efficiency and minimizes the system footprint, with a modular architecture that scales as your demands grow.
Choose a batch EDS system for maximum operational flexibility with variable waste streams or high-solids content. This robust design simplifies validation and ensures reliable performance when feed conditions are inconsistent.
Configure your effluent decontamination system with the treatment process that matches your regulatory requirements, waste profile, and operational goals.
Select a chemical EDS system for a cost-effective solution with high processing throughput and low energy demand. This process delivers consistent, efficient performance for well-defined waste profiles.
Select a thermal EDS system to eliminate the need for chemical handling and storage. This process provides the highest level of treatment efficacy and is suitable for the broadest range of waste types, including effluent with suspended solids.
Every BioSAFE EDS is custom-engineered to match your facility’s specific throughput, regulatory requirements, and energy goals. Our systems integrate high-performance features as standard to ensure safety and operational efficiency:
BioSAFE EDS systems can be deployed as permanent installations or configured for mobility, with both options meeting the same rigorous performance standards. The choice depends on your infrastructure, long-term planning, and contingency requirements.
Optimized for permanent facilities, stationary EDS configurations offer lower capital costs and simplified maintenance by utilizing fixed infrastructure and utilities. This setup is ideal for consistent, long-term operations where the system remains a core fixture of the laboratory.
Designed for transportability, mobile EDS systems provide rapid deployment for emergency response, temporary facilities, or remote operations. This easy-to-move configuration allows you to shift treatment capacity exactly where it is needed, supporting continuity during outages or surge events.
EDS systems can be integrated directly into laboratory spaces or centralized at the building level to meet specific space, workflow, and maintenance requirements. Both configurations support rigorous compliance and safety goals.
Lab-integrated systems offer point-of-generation decontamination, which simplifies waste handling and reduces exposure risks. This approach is ideal for retrofitting existing labs with minimal renovation and typically requires a smaller initial capital investment.
Building-integrated systems centralize treatment for multiple labs or waste sources into a single system. By consolidating infrastructure, this model reduces duplication, preserves laboratory floor space, and creates a single point of maintenance and oversight for higher aggregate throughput.
BioSAFE’s configurable EDS platforms ensure liquid waste is rendered safe prior to discharge, balancing efficacy with operational efficiency. Our systems are tailored to your facility’s specific needs—whether you require high-throughput continuous operations or flexible batch processing.
By offering both chemical and thermal options in stationary or mobile configurations, we provide a scalable approach that aligns with regulatory expectations while minimizing your operational burden.
BSL-3 and BSL-4 facilities require rigorous decontamination before waste leaves containment. BioSAFE EDS provide energy-efficient sterilization that ensures regulatory compliance while protecting your team, research integrity, and the community
BioSAFE systems treat liquid waste from laboratory sinks, showers, and other drainage sources. Once decontaminated, these liquids are safely reintroduced into the sanitary sewer. Our solutions support diverse applications in agriculture, life sciences, and biopharma at containment levels up to BSL-4.
Every research facility is built differently and regulations differ. BioSAFE effluent decontamination systems are built to spec for your facility’s throughput regulatory requirements, and energy usage needs.

Accordion Content
Generally BSL3, BSL3-ag, and BSL4 facilities are required to have an effluent treatment system in place. Some BSL2 facilities may also, based on a site-specific biosafety risk assessment, choose to put in place an effluent decontamination system.
Effluent decontamination systems also have agriscience, pharmaceutical, and biotech applications, where they are used to thermally or chemically treat waste and byproduct streams.
Effluent decontamination systems are generally focused on neutralizing biological pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. Effluent decontamination systems can also neutralize some chemical compounds. For non-standard applications, BioSAFE can design custom treatment solutions.
The amount of solids in the liquid waste stream will vary depending on the facility. A higher volume of solids will begin to impact system efficacy, so there are several strategies to mitigate this, including adding screens to drains, adding grinder pumps, installing additional filters, and changing site SOPs. The expected amount of solids will also play a role in system selection, with batch type systems generally being better able to manage solids than continuous flow type systems.
BioSAFE’s effluent decontamination systems can be designed to handle any amount of waste, from 100 gallons per day to 100,000 gallons per day or more.
BioSAFE effluent decontamination systems have a ~20-25 year minimum life expectancy when properly serviced and maintained.
Effluent decontamination systems are custom engineered for your facility. We deliver and install or oversee the installation of each system. Our team can also provide ongoing maintenance, training, and support for your system.
