Robust VHP decontamination & accelerated H₂O₂ removal
Our project addresses VHP decontamination through two complementary angles: shifting from continuous tunnel architectures to a modular batch approach, and optimizing the aeration phase — typically the cycle bottleneck.
Rethinking the process architecture
Move away from large continuous tunnel sections toward a modular, decoupled concept that maintains sterility assurance while improving operational robustness and gracefully handling interruptions.
What this enables
- Independent modules that decouple cycles and reduce reliance on interconnected containment flows.
- Reliability and scalability by design — configure throughput by adding or removing modules.
- Take a look at our simulation to get a visual idea.
Improving aeration — speed and depth
Aerodynamic and thermodynamic optimization of aeration, often the bottleneck in VHP cycles, to reach low residual H₂O₂ targets faster and more reliably.
What we optimize
- Airflow, temperature, and moisture control to accelerate peroxide desorption.
- Chamber design tuned for optimal aeration, ensuring safety and repeatability.
Case study for VHP decontamination — Tiramisu spoilage calculator
An applied case study using a tiramisu spoilage model to illustrate how VHP decontamination parameters affect microbial reduction and shelf life. Includes the interactive tool, a user guide, and the validation plan with its results.
Where this is heading
A modular VHP approach that improves scalability and reliability, paired with a faster aeration method to reach low residual targets efficiently — ready for pharma-grade environments.
