The Dialysis Dilemma: Maintaining High-Flow Drains in High-Stakes Units

In a dialysis clinic, the plumbing isn’t just an utility—it’s a vital part of the treatment cycle.

Dialysis centers process an incredible volume of fluids daily. Because of the nature of the treatment, these drains are constantly exposed to high "bio-loads," including blood proteins and minerals that can quickly lead to scale buildup and organic sludge.

In this environment, a slow drain isn't just a nuisance; it’s a clinical risk. If a station has to be shut down due to a backup, it disrupts life-sustaining schedules and patient care.

The HES Solution: Standard chemical cleaners are often too reactive or damaging for the sensitive plumbing systems in dialysis units. HES biological drain maintenance uses a "steady-state" approach. By introducing active enzymes daily, you digest the organic sludge before it can solidify, ensuring that your clinic stays at full capacity and your focus remains on the patient, not the pipes.
