To remain safe and efficacious on the eye, contact lenses must maintain clear and wetted surfaces, provide an adequate supply of atmospheric oxygen to and adequate expulsion of carbon dioxide from the cornea, allow adequate flow of the eye s tear fluid, and avoid excessive abrasion of the ocular surface or eyeflds, all under a variety of environmental conditions. The clinical performance of a contact lens is controlled by the nature of the lens material the lens design the method and quaUty of manufacture the lens parameters or specifications prescribed by the practitioner and the cleaning, disinfection, and wearing procedures used by the patient. 

Membrane processes also offer other advantages over conventional treatments. They reduce the number of unit processes in treatment systems for clarification and disinfection and increase the potential for process automation and plant compactness. Designers also thought membrane plants could be much smaller than conventional plants of the same capacity and, given their modular configuration, could be easily expanded. Additionally, these plants would produce less sludge than conventional plants because they wouldn t use such chemicals as coagulants or polymers. 

Disinfection The process designed to kill most microorganisms in wastewater, including essentially all pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria. There are several ways to disinfect, with chlorine being the most frequently used in water and wastewater treatment plants. 

Operations involving infectious agents or organisms will require further measures to ensure bio-security and safety. This usually involves the use of biosafety cabinets, which are designed to protect both the product and the user from contamination. Appropriate disinfection and bio-containment procedures must be adopted to prevent unwanted release of dangerous organisms. 

A number of tests have been deseribed which imitate, at least in part, the principle of the phenol eoeffieient test for liquid disinfectants. A culture of the test organism is mixed intimately with the semi-sohd preparation, and the mixture subcultuied by means of a loop into a suitable broth designed to disperse the base and neutrahze the antibacterial activity of the medicament. 

Internal fltlings snch as cupboards, drawers and shelves must be kept to a minimum. These may be made fiom stainless steel or a laminated plastic, which may be easily cleaned or disinfected bare wood is to be avoided, although painted or otherwise sealed woodwork m be satisfactory. Stainless steel trolleys can be used to transport eqiripmerrt and materials within the clean and aseptic areas but these must remain confined to then-respective units. Equipment should be so designed as to be easily cleaned and sterilized (or disinfected). 

Workbenches, including laminar airflow units, and equipment, should be disinfected immediately before and after each work period. Equipment used should be of the simplest design possible commensurate with the operation being undertaken. 

Sometimes in the design of a BSL-4 facility, the full letter of health and safety codes/requirements for the protection of workers can not be met. This is where health and safety specialists must compromise and use their ingenuity to meet the intent of the requirements. For example, it is not always possible to provide a secondary means of egress from each area. Two change facilities are not cost effective or practical. A viable alternative is the use of airlocks with built-in liquid disinfection systems which are not hazardous to humans, but destroy the biohazard. These airlocks must be clearly identified as others are often used for transportation of equipment and other materials and contain hazardous disinfection systems. 

The electrochemical generator is designed for both small (0.136-4.5 kg C102/day) and larger scale (0.5-27 kg/h range and more) chlorine dioxide production rates. The chlorine dioxide solution from this system is suitable for sanitizing and disinfection applications as well as waste water treatment.
