About EBSA20 - Course G - Safe and reliable Effluent Decontamination Systems : An EDS is more than “a Kill Tank”

Instructors: Per Staugaard

Short description of the course:

Biosafety concerns don't end with the end of the work, consideration of what you do with your liquid waste is equally important. The selection and treatment option will be based on risk assessment of the type and volume of the material. This course explores options, methods, validation to assist in this process.
This course will deal with different approaches and solutions based on different scenarios of bio agents, different primary processes, different scale of operation and will help in making decisions to yield a safe and reliable system.
The course is intended for biosafety pro’s and engineers with at least basic knowledge of biosafety and risk based approach.

The trainees will be asked to bring forward their own cases, either already built or in future operation. These case studies are used as a basis for group work.

Main topics:

• design of an EDS is based on primary process[es].
• the course projects a holistic view of the EDS in systematic approach.
• maintenance and validation are important as major issues during the whole design process.
