Overview
The OWR BFOG Cold Fogging Decontamination System is an engineered electrostatic cold fogging platform designed for rapid, residue-free decontamination of airborne and surface-bound biological hazards—including viruses (e.g., influenza A/H1N1, SARS-CoV), bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus), spores, and fungi. Unlike thermal foggers or ultrasonic misters, the BFOG employs compressed-air-driven electrostatic atomization to generate a stable, positively charged aerosol with a median particle size in the sub-10 µm range—optimized for both air suspension longevity and surface adhesion efficiency. The system operates on the principle of electrostatic attraction: charged droplets actively seek and uniformly coat grounded or neutral surfaces—including complex geometries, crevices, undersides, and porous materials—ensuring comprehensive coverage without manual wiping or post-application ventilation delays. It is not a sterilizer but a validated high-level disinfection system compliant with EN 14476 (virucidal activity), EN 13697 (surface disinfectant efficacy), and ISO 15714 (aerosolized biocide testing methodology).
Key Features
- Electrostatic cold fog generation using medical-grade compressed air (no heat-induced chemical degradation)
- Adjustable output flow rate and雾 droplet charge density for room-volume scalability (tested from 10 m³ to >1,000 m³ spaces)
- Compatible with EPA-registered and ECHA-approved disinfectants—including hydrogen peroxide-based, peracetic acid, and quaternary ammonium formulations—subject to compatibility verification per OWR’s technical bulletin TB-BFOG-03
- Automated cycle control: pre-programmed runtime, delay start, and auto-shutdown; no operator presence required during operation
- Integrated safety interlock system with pressure monitoring and airflow validation sensors to prevent under-dosing
- Low-noise operation (<62 dB(A) at 1 m), suitable for occupied-space applications when used with OWR-recommended low-toxicity agents
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The BFOG has been independently validated against >380 microbial strains across Gram-positive/negative bacteria, enveloped/non-enveloped viruses, bacterial spores, and molds—per protocols aligned with ASTM E1153, EN 17111, and WHO Technical Report Series No. 1017 Annex 3. It is routinely deployed in GMP-regulated environments including pharmaceutical cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8), veterinary biocontainment units, food processing facilities (HACCP-compliant zones), and frontline healthcare infrastructure. When operated with OWR-certified disinfectants (e.g., OWR BioShield™ series), the system meets EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) Article 19 requirements for professional use. Residue analysis confirms non-corrosive behavior on stainless steel, polycarbonate, PVC, and coated electronics—enabling safe treatment of MRI suites, ventilators, ambulances, and agricultural housing.
Software & Data Management
The BFOG integrates with OWR’s optional CloudLink Decon Manager software (v2.4+), enabling remote scheduling, real-time fog density telemetry via integrated optical particle counter (OPC), and full audit trail generation compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11. All cycles log timestamp, ambient temperature/humidity, agent batch ID, operator credentials, and post-cycle verification status. Exportable CSV/JSON reports support internal QA review and regulatory submissions (e.g., FDA Form 3674, MHRA PMS-02). Local standalone mode retains full functionality without network dependency.
Applications
- Hospital isolation rooms, operating theaters, and emergency transport vehicles
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing suites requiring periodic whole-room decontamination
- Food production lines, cold storage warehouses, and packaging areas
- Animal husbandry facilities—including poultry barns, swine farrowing units, and aquaculture hatcheries
- Greenhouses and vertical farms where chemical residue tolerance is critical
- Military CBRN response units and field-deployable medical stations
FAQ
Does the BFOG require special electrical infrastructure?
No—it operates on standard 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, with a maximum draw of 1.2 A. Compressed air supply must meet ISO 8573-1 Class 2:2:2 specifications (dew point ≤ −40 °C, oil content ≤ 0.01 mg/m³).
Can it be used in occupied spaces?
Only with OWR-approved low-VOC, non-irritant disinfectants and under validated exposure limits (e.g., OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV compliance). Occupancy requires prior risk assessment per ISO 15223-1.
What maintenance does the system require?
Daily visual inspection of nozzle integrity and air filter; quarterly calibration of pressure transducers and annual certification of electrostatic charge output by an OWR-accredited service center.
Is third-party validation data available?
Yes—full test reports from TÜV SÜD, LGC Standards, and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) are accessible under NDA via OWR’s Technical Documentation Portal.
