5. AUTOFLOW Decontamination System
Decontamination of biologically hazardous material for continuous
flow liquid waste streams
The AUTOFLOW™ decontaminates continuos liquid laboratory waste streams in BSL-2, BSL-3, BSL-AG,
BSL-3 Enhanced, and BSL-4 research labs.
Benefits of the PRI AUTOFLOWTM
System
• Fully Automated: The entire PRI system is “user-friendly”
• Easy Start-up: We build our AUTOFLOWTM
to be pre-assembled for quick delivery and
ease of installation
• Continuous Flow: Design processes 400 to 12,000 gallons per day
• Limited Utility Requirements: Electric power is generally the only utility required to run the AUTOFLOWTM
• Compact Footprint: Our compact design conserves valuable lab space
• Energy Recovery Option: In order to recapture valuable energy, we can add a heat recovery option for
up to an 80% savings in energy
• Flexible Heat: The system can be built to accept your energy sources (steam, thermal fluid, gas or electric
heat source)
• Process/Batch Verification Reports: You can document and store system performance
• Flexible Design: We can build the AUTOFLOWTM
to meet the demands of your lab

6. The Third Generation Thermal Tissue Digester model, by PRI, offers a revolutionary advancement
in tissue disposal operation by using agitation and heat to break down tissue with alkali. The Third
Generation TTD allows you more flexibility in design and effluent discharge than the previous generations.
PRI Wet Process
• Containment within ASME Pressure Vessel
• 100% discharge to sanitary sewer
• Eliminates remnant baskets and handling
• Minimal operating cost
• Reduced water usage
• Reduced cycle time
• No pressurized contaminated piping system
• Ability to sterilize with or without caustic
