Power Sanitizing System

Operating

and Service

Manual

IntroductionThe Biomist™ Power Sanitizing System is the first practical method for sanitizing

equipment and facilities with a solution of concentrated alcohol. And it sanitizes more

completely and with far less effort and complexity than any conventional method.

Most alcohol-based sanitizers use a diluted solution of alcohol applied with an aerosol or

trigger sprayer. This is followed by rinsing or a manual wipe-down of the treated surfaces.

Such follow-up procedures are both time consuming and inadequate as they often

reintroduce germs. In contrast, the Biomist System propels an alcohol solution in a high

pressure stream onto targeted surfaces, completely enveloping them in a sanitizing mist.

And the solution quickly air-dries with no need for rinsing or wipe-down procedures.

A concentrated alcohol solution has long been recognized as an optimal sanitizing agent.

But its flammability has presented a problem. To eliminate this problem, Biomist uses high

pressure, bottled carbon dioxide (CO2) as a carrier to spray the sanitizer. CO2 is an inert,

non-flammable gas (think of CO2 fire extinguishers) and when used as a carrier, displaces

any oxygen that might lead to fire or explosion. In fact, the Biomist Sanitizing System can

be used in the presence of electrical spark or open flame without concern.

The Biomist System atomizes the sanitizing solution into extremely tiny micro-particles

and propels them in a high pressure stream that swirls and adheres to all the nooks and

crevices that would be impossible to reach with other sanitizing methods. And it diffuses

thoroughly throughout the area to be treated, producing a uniform sanitizing effect.

The Biomist System is the fastest available sanitizing method, by far. And it provides

the best of both worlds: it is much more effective and far less expensive to use than all

previous sanitizing methods.

The S-20 Power Unit’s Interior

1. The CO2 propellant system is powered by a pressurized cylinder

of liquefied carbon dioxide.

Maintenance Required by Operator: Replace the CO2 cylinder as required.

See Replacing the CO2 Cylinder in the Maintenance Procedures section

of this manual for instructions.

2. The high-pressure hose that delivers CO2 from the cylinder to the system.


3. The control box contains the unit’s electrical components. The Control Box also

contains fuses that can be easily replaced. See Replacing the Control Box Fuses in

the Maintenance Procedures section of this manual.

4. The gas control regulator releases CO2 at the optimal spraying pressure of 20 psig.


5. The vaporization assembly controls the temperature of CO2 gas.


6. The electrical cord has a three-prong plug that should only be connected to

a 115 volt ac, grounded, electrical outlet. The cord stores on the inside of the

cabinet door when not in use.


7. The coiled hose delivers CO2 from the power unit to the applicator gun.

It stores on the inside of the cabinet door when not in use.

8. The holder can be used to store the applicator gun and sanitizer solution bottle

when the system is not in use.


9

About Carbon Dioxide (CO2)Carbon Dioxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas found naturally in the atmosphere.

And the Biomist™ Power Sanitizing System utilizes CO2 as a pressurizing agent to power

the application of its sanitizing chemicals. The Biomist™ Level 3 brand of CO2 used by the

system is produced under strict industry standards and is a non-toxic element which

meets EPA, FDA and USDA guidelines.

CO2 is non-flammable and its use as a propellant and carrier eliminates the flammable

characteristics of the alcohol based sanitizer used by the Biomist system. Of equal

importance is its non-corrosive and non-conductive nature which makes it safe for use on

corrodible metals, electronics and other sensitive equipment. However, since CO2 is heavier

than air (CO2 gas displaces oxygen) care must be taken when using it in enclosed spaces.

Occupational Health and Safety Regulations have set maximum allowable CO2 exposure

limits and where the potential exists for exposure above these limits, air monitoring devices

and good ventilation are recommended. See the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet for

information about these safety standards.

StorageCO2 cylinders should be stored in cool, dry, well ventilated locations. Avoid storage

in basements or other rooms with poor ventilation. Do not store in direct sunlight,

near radiators or furnaces and never where the temperature can exceed 125˚F (51.7˚C).

System PressureIn the unlikely event the Biomist gas system develops a leak or a safety valve opens and

fails to reclose, gas will vent and the CO2 cylinder may then contain dry ice. If so, there

will be a visible frost line on the cylinder. Close the valve on the cylinder and set it aside

until the frost has disappeared. It may then be put back in service after the cause of the

venting has been corrected.

10

SafetyAlways use industry brand CO2 as it is produced under exacting industry

standards that afford maximum operating safety and service life for your

facilities and equipment.

Safe Handling and Use

Personal Protective EquipmentUse of eye protection, such as safety glasses, is required. Use of protective gloves is a wise

precaution but not required under normal use. Good ventilation to prevent accumulation of

fumes is required. Use of protective clothing is recommended when dispensing large quan-

tities of Biomist Formula D2. A water source to dilute spilled material should be available.

UseAlcohol products are used safely every day in many applications. Alcohol based hand

sanitizers are used daily in food handling and medical applications. Alcohol based

surface disinfectants are used in consumer and medical applications daily. Biomist Formula

D2 was designed to be applied manually to limited areas. Biomist Formula D2 is flammable

and needs special handling to be used safely. Eye protection and good ventilation are

required during use. Biomist Formula D2 should be not be applied to hot surfaces or

used near an open flame or other ignition source. When Biomist Formula D2, or any other

sanitizer, is applied to any electrically powered equipment the power should be off and lock

out/tag out devices applied. Avoid prolonged inhalation of any vapors and direct contact

with eyes or skin. Good ventilation is required to keep alcohol levels in the air below both

exposure and explosive limits. The substantial amounts of alcohol required to reach these

limits will generally not be reached during normal usage of Biomist Formula D2. Care

should be taken if Biomist Formula D2 is transferred from original packaging to do so

away from ignition sources, in an area with good ventilation and a water supply to dilute

Biomist Formula D2 in the case of a spill. 11
