BioHiTech Provides the First Altapure AP-4 Disinfectant System to the Cruise Industry
CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., Sept. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BioHiTech Global, Inc. ("BioHiTech" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BHTG), a sustainable technology and services company, announced today that the Company has shipped the first Altapure AP-4(TM) high-level disinfectant system to the cruise industry.
The Altapure AP-4 has been shipped to SeaDream Yacht Club ("SeaDream") where it will be used as part of the safety and disinfecting protocols for the SeaDream I yacht which is scheduled to begin a season of Barbados round-trips in the fall of 2020. Named "Best Small Luxury Cruise Ship of 2015" in ForbesLife, twin mega-yachts SeaDream I & II are intimate boutique ships that provide a unique travelling experience unlike any other cruise vacation. The Altapure technology will be used in conjunction with other sanitization equipment on a daily basis. SeaDream will also conduct pre-boarding COVID testing and daily temperature checks to best ensure passenger safety.
"The cruise industry faces unique challenges as each line seeks to relaunch operations in this difficult new environment," said Frank E. Celli, CEO of BioHiTech. "SeaDream is now leading the way in health and safety through the use of the Altapure AP-4 disinfection system. We have worked diligently with their team to create protocols using the AP-4 for regular disinfection of guest and crew cabins as well as dining areas, health facilities and other commonly used areas. When combined with other safety protocols, the Altapure AP-4 will help SeaDream put passenger and crew safety first to create the safest possible yachting experience. We look forward to helping SeaDream and other like-minded cruise lines that are dedicated to achieving the highest possible standards of disinfection for their customers and employees."
The Altapure AP-4(TM) is an enhanced, automated and touchless high-level disinfection sub-micron aerosol system launched in 2017 that provides a safe process and rapid elimination of spores, viruses, and vegetative bacteria, such as, but not limited to: COVID-19, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE, MRSA, Bacillus atrophaeus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Polio virus, C. auris and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile). Extensive research and development alongside Harris Corporation, formerly ITT Exelis, a top-tier global aerospace, defense, and information solutions company, resulted in the creation of a very unique and patented aerosol generation technology that when coupled with the liquid agent Altacare(®), a reagent grade peracetic acid solution, yields rapid and unparalleled results for high level disinfection. Altapure is committed to providing its customers with the highest quality products and processes in the marketplace that are safe to use and are environmentally friendly. All of Altapure's products are engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the U.S.
