Two Compartment Container For Neutralizing Used Cleaning Solutions

View page
US Patent:
6341612, Jan 29, 2002
Filed:
Mar 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/521832
Inventors:
Michael A. Duckett - Erie PA
John C. Bliley - Erie PA
Gerald J. Kielar - Erie PA
Sayed Sadiq Shah - St. Louis MO
Assignee:
Steris INC - Temecula CA
International Classification:
B08B 308
US Classification:
134 951, 134 56 R, 134 57 R, 134 58 R, 134 941, 134 961, 134 981, 1341031, 134 27
Abstract:
A cleaning unit (A) includes a movable cart ( ) which carries a cleaning system for cleaning baked-on residues from walls ( ) of a sterilizer chamber ( ). Alkaline and acid cleaning solutions ( ), for removing organic and inorganic residues, respectively, from the chamber, are stored in a multi-compartment container carried by the cart and having two storage compartments ( ). The alkaline and acid solutions are sequentially sprayed over the chamber walls and returned to their respective compartments. After cleaning is complete, a wall ( ) which separates the two compartments is punctured. The two cleaning fluids are thereby mixed together to form a neutral or near neutral solution which is disposable in a sanitary sewer system without further treatment.

US Patent:
6550487, Apr 22, 2003
Filed:
Mar 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/522267
Inventors:
Michael A. Duckett - Erie PA
John C. Bliley - Erie PA
Gerald J. Kielar - Erie PA
Sayed Sadiq Shah - St.Louis MO
Anthony W. Raymond - San Diego CA
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
B08B 308
US Classification:
134 2218, 134 2217, 134 2219, 134 221, 134 26, 134 27, 134 28, 134 29, 134 36, 134 41, 134 9503, 134108, 134168 R
Abstract:
A cleaning unit (A) includes a movable cart ( ) which carries a cleaning system for cleaning baked-on residues from walls ( ) of a sterilizer chamber ( ). The cleaning system includes a lid ( ) which is mounted over an opening ( ) to the chamber. In one embodiment, the door ( ) of the chamber provides the lid. An articulating nozzle ( ) extends from the lid into the interior of the chamber. Alkaline and acid cleaning solutions ( ), for removing organic and inorganic residues, respectively, from the chamber, are stored in two storage containers ( ) carried by the cart. A first pump ( ), mounted on the cart, pumps first the alkaline, then the acid cleaning solution to the nozzle. A second pump ( ), mounted on the cart, connects with a scavenge fitting ( ) in the chamber to return the cleaning fluid to the respective storage container. After cleaning is complete, the two cleaning fluids are mixed together to form a neutral or near neutral solution which is disposable in a sanitary sewer system without further treatment.

US Patent:
6770150, Aug 3, 2004
Filed:
Mar 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/522266
Inventors:
Michael A. Duckett - Erie PA
John C. Bliley - Erie PA
Gerald J. Kielar - Erie PA
Sayed Sadiq Shah - St. Louis MO
Anthony W. Raymond - San Diego CA
Assignee:
Steris Inc. - Temecula CA
International Classification:
B08B 300
US Classification:
134 29, 134 2, 134 3, 134 10, 134 221, 134 2217, 134 2219, 134 26, 134 27, 134 28, 134 40, 134 34, 134 41
Abstract:
Alkaline and acid cleaning solutions ( ), are used sequentially for removing organic and inorganic residues, respectively, from the chamber. The two cleaning solutions are stored in separate storage containers ( ) carried by the cart. The alkaline cleaning fluid preferably includes a strong base, such as potassium or sodium hydroxide. The acid cleaning solution includes a strong acid, such as phosphoric acid, which passivates the chamber during the cleaning process. After cleaning is complete, the two cleaning fluids are mixed together to form a neutral or near neutral solution which is disposable in a sanitary sewer system without further treatment.
