Here’s an enhanced overview of the TOMI SteraMist® (by TOMI Environmental Solutions) technology used by SG Environmental Solutions Pte Ltd across various verticals for decontamination and disinfection:

🔬 Core Technology: Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) + Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP™)

  • Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™) employs a proprietary, patented two-step process that activates a low‑percentage (≈7.8%) hydrogen peroxide solution. It converts it into a fine mist/fog containing ionized hydrogen peroxide (iHP™)—a cloud of reactive oxygen species (primarily hydroxyl radicals) .
  • This mist, generated via a cold plasma arc, delivers sub-micron droplets and reactive species that penetrate and oxidize pathogens (bacteria, spores, viruses) to achieve up to a 6‑log (99.9999%) kill rate .
  • Developed originally under DARPA for anthrax decontamination, SteraMist has since gained EPA, Health Canada and international registrations, including Singapore use in high-touch environments like mosques during COVID‑19 .

Vertical Applications

SteraPak® (portable/corrosion-free mist sprayer)

  • Compact and battery-operated, designed for quick deployments and hard-to-reach spots
  • Ideal for mobile teams in healthcare, schools, transport, food service

  • Surface Unit (hand‑held, electric)

  • Plug-and-play design for point-and-spray applications on surfaces
  • Typical use: 5 seconds per sq ft; multiple units can clean rooms in 10 minutes 

  • Environment System (full‑room fogger)

  • Automated/multi-applicator unit covering air + all surfaces
  • Features precise dosage control, remote operation, cycle tracking, and a fast 15‑minute “dwell time” 

  • Custom‑Engineered & Integrated Systems

  • Permanent installations within cleanrooms, biosafety cabinets, pharmaceutical manufacturing lines
  • Architected to integrate with building management/EHS systems 

  • iHP® Corporate Service

  • A fully managed on-site disinfection service by TOMI or certified 서비스 providers
  • Deployed for emergency decon, routine sanitization, mold remediation, etc. 

  • Vertical Applications

    Across sectors, SG Environmental Solutions leverages SteraMist for tailored disinfection programs:

    Healthcare & Life Sciences: Operating theatres, labs, isolation wards, biosafety zones

    Food Safety & Processing Facilities: Production lines, cold rooms, packaging zones

    Commercial & Public Spaces: Offices, schools, mosques, transport hubs, cruise ships, hotels

    Residential & Specialty Sites: Homes, barracks, cleanrooms, mold‑affected properties

    Advantages & Safety Highlights

    Ultra‑high efficacy: 6‑log kill across broad spectrum including viruses, spores, bacteria 

    Fast throughput: Full-room cycles in ~15 minutes, up to 4× faster than competitors 

    No residue: Leaves no corrosive or toxic deposits—safe for sensitive equipment/environments

    Measurable & compliant: Digital reporting supports compliance (cGMP, ISO, health authorities) 

    Eco-conscious: Low % H₂O₂, breaks down into water/oxygen, no harsh chemicals

    SG Environmental Solution’s Implementation

    SG Environmental Solutions Pte Ltd deploys this technology to provide customized decontamination protocols across verticals such as:

    Healthcare facilities: Post-surgery cleaning, outbreak response, sterilization of equipment

    Food manufacturing: Routine sanitation of processing areas, cleanrooms

    Commercial & institutional sites: Mosques (e.g., Masjid Angullia), schools, transport hubs

    Specialized sectors: Biosafety labs, cleanrooms, mold remediation after flooding

    They select among the SteraPak, Surface Unit, or Environment System based on size of space, contamination level, equipment sensitivity, and dwell-time/production needs—supplemented with managed on-site service and digital compliance reporting.

    In Summary

    SG Environmental Solutions leverages TOMI’s SteraMist BIT™ and iHP™ systems for flexible, scalable, and high-efficacy decontamination across healthcare, food safety, commercial, institutional, and specialized environments. They combine portable and full-room fogging systems with managed services, ensuring fast cycle times (<15 min), digital validation, and residue-free safety using eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide mist technology.

    Steramist™ + BIT® Solution

    SG Environmental Solutions uses Steramist’s patented ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP)
    technology combined with Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT)—a breakthrough solution
    trusted by hospitals, research labs, and government agencies worldwide.

    What Makes It Revolutionary

    iHP Technology (Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide):

    Cold plasma converts 7.8% hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals and mist

    Kills 99.9999% (6-log) of pathogens on contact

    Reaches hard-to-clean crevices, electronics, fabrics, and porous surfaces

    BIT® Solution:

    EPA-registered, non-corrosive, no-rinse disinfectant

    Food-safe, residue-free, and ideal for high-turnover environments

    Effective against viruses, bacteria, spores, mold, and more

    How We Apply It

    Environment System Fogging:

    Treats entire rooms, storage spaces, vehicles, or equipment bays

    Approximately 15 minutes per cycle with full validation and no downtime

    Surface Unit Treatment:

    For desks, control panels, and high-touch zones

    5 seconds per square foot with 7-minute dwell time

    Certified sterilization with material-safe application

    Benefits at a Glance

    Fast and full coverage: Treats whole rooms in approximately 15 minutes

    Hospital-grade efficacy: 6-log pathogen kill

    Surface-safe: Safe for electronics and fabrics

    Validated and compliant: GMP/ISO reporting

    Minimal disruption: Quick re-entry after aeration

    Our Process

    8-Step Disinfection & Decontamination Workflow

    1. Site Assessment & Planning

    Customized disinfection plan based on site risk profile, layout, and usage.

    2. Preparation Phase

    Pre-cleaning, PPE usage, room sealing (if needed), HVAC coordination.

    3. Indicator Placement

    Deploy Chemical Indicators (CI) and Biological Indicators (BI) to validate treatment efficacy.

    4. Steramist Application

    Fogging or surface misting with ionized BIT® mist using cold plasma nozzles.

    5. Contact (Dwell) Time

    7–15 minutes for room fogging, approximately 5 seconds per square foot plus 7 minutes dwell time for surfaces.

    6. Aeration & Clearance

    Ensure hydrogen peroxide concentration is 1 ppm or less for safe re-entry.

    7. Validation & Testing

    Color-changing CI strips and BI spore testing to confirm 6-log pathogen kill.

    8. Reporting & Certification
