Information about lots
Lot No: 2 Lot title: HPV Chamber and Generator1)Short description
Lot 2a: 1 off Fumigation chamber
General Description
The primary function of the decontamination chamber is to provide an enclosed, safe and process interlocked environment to sterilise a range of laboratory materials and equipment, primarily by using, hydrogen peroxide or other modes of fumigation, if these become industry norms in the future.
The workflow shall be in the direction of dirty to clean which is set by the design of the room and surrounding areas. The chamber should follow the general layout at the suggested location as presented in our designs see, Schedule 16 CAD Drawings and related information.
It is envisaged that the hydrogen peroxide generator (Lot 2b) shall be located and operated on the dirty side of the chamber. All inlet vents, extract ducts and ports are to be fully self-sealing when not in use. Inlets may also require protection with HEPA filtration. An integrated or a stand-alone generator can be offered.
Furniture
Presentation trolleys with flexible racking (3 off) for sterilising electronic equipment, animal house materials such as bedding or feed and related items shall be supplied making best use of the volume available. Tenderers shall include the costings for the trolleys in Schedule 11 Pricing Schedule.
The chamber shall also to accommodate poultry cages on their own trolleys. These are provided via another contract. These cages and trolleys have a minimum overall dimensions of 2.00 m long/depth x 1.10 m wide x 1.80 m high. The chamber MUST be able to easily accommodate, intact poultry cages with their attachments wheeled into the steriliser. See details of the poultry cages which are provided with this ITT, see Schedule 16 CAD drawings.
Design
Double-sided, push in / pull through, rectangular front loading chamber, with integral fumigation nozzles, vapour distribution mechanisms, decay rate enhancement processes (may be a generator function as in Lot 2b), system controlled exhaust to the outside as detailed below) and fail-to-safe operator and environment protection systems. Ramp free design at both ends.
The chamber's floor shall match FFL. As there is little or no space for an acceptable ramp, hinged doors are unlikely to meet the ergonomics of the department, therefore, we are seeking a solution with concertina or sliding doors, if technically feasible and safe for operating with gas and vapours. The University are seeking Tenderers design suggestions to aid the ergonomics of the facility. All finishing plates for the floor to complete gaps, provide smooth push through to the chamber shall be provided as required. An unlined pit is provided for the chamber, see the CAD drawings provided.
The chamber shall have integral, sealed and wipe down lighting units suitable and safe for the environment. The chamber is to be finished in suitable materials and have hygienic surfaces, which can be easily cleaned. All joins shall be radiused to allow easy cleaning and avoid dust retention. All electrical switches and displays as presented to the end users shall be low voltage. Power outlets shall be suitably IP rated to allow washing.
As the VHP chamber will be immediately next to a steriliser system the heat generated will be considerable. The VHP chamber shall be supplied with suitable heat insulation so as the VHP cycle shall not be affected by heat.
The VHP chamber shall require a full barrier seal to be installed by the VHP Tenderer to meet environment barrier requirements. The barrier seals are required to be installed on the clean side of the facility. Engineering access SHALL be from the dirty side of the facility.
The approximate external dimensions are provided on the CAD drawings as supplied with this ITT. The equipment shall be supplied with bespoke stainless steel panels, which may also be used to create a "plant room” area, if necessary. The panel work shall be of a high quality finish and shall extend from ceiling to floor and wall to wall (or to adjacent equipment). Doors or lift out panels shall be provided to allow service personnel access but will prevent operators from accessing the plant room area without the use of a key or tools. Access to control circuits, transducers and components which may require replacing, calibration or be accessed during normal servicing and performance testing, shall be easily accessible from the dirty side. Access panels should be easily removed/ replaced albeit that a tool will be required to gain access to any hazardous or non-user parts of the system.
Engineering access shall be from the dirty side of the facility NOT from the barrier seal side. The VHP generator (Lot 2b) shall be accommodated and interface fully on the dirty side.
Mechanical and Electrical Services
Single-phase electrical power outlet(s) will be supplied to within 2.0 m of the chamber, alarm system and other parts of the system as required. The Tenderer shall complete final connections.
Fixings to ceiling and/or soffit shall be carried out by the Tenderer. All finish work to maintain aesthetics and hygiene barrier requirements shall be finished by the Tenderer.
User Controls
A comprehensive set of easily readable indicators with audio visual alarms shall be presented on the outside of the chamber, controlled from the dirty side. This is expected to include but is not limited by the following:
power on/off,
cycle and cycle stage,
safe /unsafe air flow,
door status,
damper operation/position,
special feature monitoring,
fault conditions monitoring systems.
Status indicators or slaves will be present on the clean side to inform operators of the process stage or the status of the system, along with alarms and warnings.
Multiple programme touch screen control, including data archiving for at least 30 completed cycles, which can be downloaded remotely, if required. Controller to be IP addressable from the University network to facilitate data set downloads. An integral printer is required. This could be in conjunction with the generator, Lot 2b.
The chamber shall be supplied with interlocking doors that continuously provides a hygiene barrier, prevents access to the chamber during sterilisation cycles, prevents fumigant release and prevents cycle initiation if any door is open. An emergency stop button will be required in the chamber and on main control panel. It is envisaged that the control of the cycles will be via the generator and this will work in conjunction with any built-in controls that are necessary within the chamber, say, to maintain the barrier interlock.
Fan, control systems and ducting
It is envisaged that one, 150 mm diameter PVC extract duct, ultimately terminating in a roof discharge stack will be supplied through the Main Contract. The ducting will be presented to the chamber within 2.0 m. A dedicated extract fan and control system will also be required and these will be supplied and installed by the Tenderer.
The purpose of the extract system is to provide the following:
at the end of a sterilisation cycle, active venting to the outside shall be provided to evacuate fumigant, with the aim of lowering overall cycles times and to ensure a safe working environment for operators after sterilisation,
during sterilisation cycles, if a fumigant leak is sensed by the monitoring system, the fumigant generation cycle shall be terminated automatically and the chamber would be evacuated by the activation of the extract system,
End Users should be able to terminate a cycle manually and this should automatically instigate an evacuation cycle,
a method of automatically opening and closing the damper(s) as appropriate to the stage of the sterilisation cycle will be required to ensure the chamber is fully sealed when required,
during evacuation, the chamber may require an intake of HEPA filtered air to balance the volume discharged, the Tenderer shall provide a suitable method / design to facilitate this function if required.
As the routing of the fumigation chamber duct from the laboratory areas to the plant room on the upper floor will be highly complex, the Main Contractor shall supply and fit the ducting from the chamber to a suitable location in the plant room area where fans shall be located.
The Tenderer shall supply, fit and commission energy efficient fans, with mounting plinths suitable for the location. The fans shall be suitable for the intended use and for the profile / pressure drop of the full ducting route. The fan shall have adjustable damping / speed control as appropriate to allow the chamber extract to be set within compliance parameters and to allow automatic adjustments to be made by the control system to maintain containment and minimise energy consumption during normal variations expected during operations and ambient conditions.
The fumigation chamber shall be protected with an anti-blow back valve.
The Tenderer shall also be required to supply, fit and commission a control system between the fumigation chamber and the fan to complete a fully operational and fit for purpose system for fumigation and containment of the fumigant. The Main contractor shall supply conduit / cable trays and pull wires for any data and / or power wiring required from the fumigation chamber to the fan and dampers. The Tenderer shall be responsible for pulling control/ data / power wires that connect between the fumigation chamber the fan and dampers. This shall not include any BMS connections that will the responsibility of the Main Contractor.
An independent air monitoring system and alarm (independent of the generator) shall be provided with the chamber. Fumigant sensors shall be located in the immediate vicinity of both dirty and clean chamber doors, as a minimum requirement, to provide air monitoring/alarms. Additional sensors may be required for the operation of the extract system. The positioning of the sensors should be agreed with the Main Contractor and Health and Safety.
The air monitoring/alarm control unit shall be located in the dirty area. This shall be a standalone system with audio and visual beacon alarms at each door of the chamber. The system shall be able to shut down hydrogen peroxide production if alarms are tripped and initiate evacuation of the chamber.
The monitor should measure principally H2O2. If a system that could measure or formaldehyde based fumigants with alternative sensors and minor adjustments where available, this may wish to be considered by the University dependant on cost.
The fans shall be provided with a voltage free connection for use with the BMS to indicate failure. Connection to the BMS shall be carried out by the Main Contractor. This shall be in addition to any fan status monitoring provided via the chamber installation.
The Tenderer shall complete the mechanical, electrical power and data connections at the fumigation chamber and at the fan.
The Main Contractor shall complete the final limb of the ducting, connecting to the exit port of the fan and routing the ducting up through stacks to the roof.
The Tenderer shall be responsible for completing testing and sign off for each sub system that they supply and shall assist the Main Contractor to test and sign off the complete system.
Documentation
Operator manuals, service cards, Health and Safety / COSHH signage shall be supplied and fitted as appropriate. Signage may be required in the plant room in relation to fans.
The Tender shall complete the validation of the Fumigation Chamber, fans and control systems in conjunction with the Main Contractor. Once this is complete, the Tenderer shall supply a copy of all hand over documents to the University directly.
End User Training
A comprehensive on-site programme for training 3 End User and 1 Supervisor is required. It is intended that the Supervisor is given in depth training on the system, and will deliver on going training to new End Users as they are appointed. This will take place during the initial delivery / commissioning phase.
Training shall include all aspects of chamber function, how to load it for effective sterilisation, first line maintenance, fault conditions with interlock and the fan extract.
The Supervisor shall be provided with a comprehensive End User's manual and is envisaged to be the point of contact for on going service and warranty matters.
