O Glutarldeído é usado como desinfetante de endoscópios, mas por ser irritante, deve ser substituído por outro produto alternativo. A água ácida eletrolisada (AAE) possui efeito bactericida, tecnologia essa desenvolvida no Japão para lavadoras de endoscópios. No nosso estudo, a contaminação endoscópica após o seu uso clínico foi examinada através de cultura para bactérias, micobactérias e fungos, tanto antes quanto após a desinfecção com glutaraldeído por 20 minutos ou água ácida eletrolizada por 7 minutos. As colônias de bactérias foram identificadas e contadas após 48 horas de incubação a 37o C. A contaminação microbiana dos colonoscópios foi detectada após 30 (trinta) procedimentos endoscópicos, contudo o tratamento com a AAE conseguiu erradicar todos os microorganismos. A atividade microbiana da AAE mostrou-se ser similar ao glutaraldeído a 2%. Os resultados indicam que a AAE é um eficiente desinfetante depois da limpeza mecânica dos colonoscópios, podendo ser usado nas unidades de endoscopias como uma alternativa ao glutaraldeído / Efficient disinfection is important given the multiplicity of bacterial exposures to equipment used in endoscopy. Glutaraldehyde is used as a disinfectant for endoscopes, but is an irritant and so should be replaced by an alternative. Electrolized cid water (EAW) has bactericidal effect, and an endoscopic washing device using EAW has been developed in Japan. In our study, endoscopic contamination after clinical use was examinated by culture for bacteria, mycobacteria and fungi before and after exposing to glutaraldehyde (20min) and electrolized acid water (7min). The bacterial colonies were identified and counted after 48 hours of incubation at 37oC. Microbial contamination of colonoscopes was detected after 30 endoscopic procedures, but the treatment of the endoscope with EAW eradicated the microbes. The microbicidal activities of EAW was similar to that of glutaraldehyde. These results indicate that EAW is effective disinfectant after mechanical cleaning of colonoscopes, and can, therefore, be used in the endoscopy unit as an alternative to glutaraldehyde

The diploma thesis is focused on selected designing works related to the design of a specific process of acid water stripping. The main purpose of the work is to describe the procedure and the obtained results for these performed design work based on the relevant assignment and the process requirements. In the introductory two chapters, the work focuses on process introduction and description of main process equipment. The following chapters are devoted to the description of the designing works, specifically simulation of the process in CHEMCAD, design calculation of the spiral plate heat exchanger for feed preheating, creation of 3D model and drawing documentation using AutoCAD Plant 3D and lastly strength analysis of the selected pipeline. The main outputs of this work are mainly generated result reports from the process and equipment simulation and strength analysis of the solved pipeline route, 3D model of the process and selected technical and drawing documentation. At the end of the diploma thesis, the performed activities and their outputs are summarized and evaluated.
