Construction of a Prefabricated Modular Building for a Thermal Disinfection and Decontamination Station for Pathogenicity Groups III–IV Effluents

The Research and Production Department of INEX Group has successfully completed the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) for the UTOS-1-6000 continuous thermal decontamination system. This proprietary technology is designed for the absolute neutralization of wastewater contaminated with Pathogenic Biological Agents (PBA) of Groups I-IV.

As a 100% Russian-engineered and manufactured solution, the UTOS-1-6000 directly supports the national policy of import substitution while meeting the highest international standards for biosecurity.

The FAT Process: Engineering Rigor The FAT procedure was conducted according to a pre-approved protocol with an expert commission comprising INEX engineers, technologists, and representatives from the Customer. The team verified the system’s adherence to the official technical passport for the "UTOS-1-6000 Continuous Thermal Wastewater Treatment Plant."

The following critical performance parameters were evaluated:

• Functional Validation: Verification of all operational cycles and mechanical integrity.

• Safety Systems: Testing of alarms, interlocks, and emergency shutdown sequences.

• Thermodynamic Control: Precision measurement of sterilization temperatures and internal pressures.

• Flow & Retention: Calculation of flow rates and "hold time" to ensure lethal exposure to pathogens.

• F0 Value Calculation: Mathematical verification of the sterilization lethality rate to ensure total inactivation of the most resistant biological agents.

Quality Assurance & Compliance During the FAT, all instrumentation and control systems (I&C) were checked against GMP and industrial certification requirements. The successful signing of the FAT Protocol confirms that the equipment meets every technical specification and is free of defects.

Following this successful validation, the UTOS-1-6000 unit is being prepared for shipment to its destination: the Zabaikalsky Reference Center of Rosselkhoznadzor in Chita.

Regulatory Compliance (RF)

The UTOS-1-6000 system and its testing protocols are aligned with:

• SanPiN 3.3686-21: Regarding the safety of working with Pathogenic Biological Agents (PBA).

• EAEU GMP: Principles of qualification and validation for pharmaceutical and biological production equipment.

• GOST R 52249-2009: Good Manufacturing Practice for medicinal products.

• ISO 9001: Quality management systems throughout the design and manufacturing phases.
