Sterile Technologies, Inc. (STI) manufactures the Industrial EtO Catalytic Oxidizer CATOX^® systems for Ethylene Oxide (EtO) emission control of sterilization environments. The equipment is designed to destroy EtO evacuated from sterilization chambers and aeration rooms. Our equipment consists of enclosed catalyst beds, air heaters, fans and microprocessor supervisory control systems required for automatic operation. The system is delivered ready for installation.

STI provides Catalytic Oxidizer CATOX^® systems with a separate, independent and individual microprocessor based “Supervisory” control system. This system is completely automatic, monitors and controls multiple sterilizers and provides additional level of safety and economy to the operation of the equipment and sterilization facility.

The operation of the EtO CATOX^® system is as follows:

Fresh air is introduced into the oxidizer through prefilters, heat exchanger, and heaters. The filtered air is heated to a minimum of 280ºF (138ºC). The Ethylene Oxide (EtO) exhaust from the sterilizer chamber is evacuated into the EtO-CATOX^® system. The diluted and heated EtO is introduced into the catalytic bed where the exothermic reaction destroys the EtO. Heat can be recovered via a heat exchanger to heat aeration rooms and further add to the economic operation of the sterilization facility.
