What is the potential positive impact of using GUV air disinfection?
By using GUV technology to disinfect the air in your workspace, you are showing your employees, colleagues, suppliers, visitors and clients that you are treating their safety and well-being as paramount.
Reducing the risk of airborne transmission of pathogens means that you are helping protect your stakeholders from COVID-19 and other illnesses which can disrupt your business operations and lead to sickness, absences or closures.
Alongside supporting your ability to be compliant with regulations, our solutions can help to increase your stakeholder’s peace of mind, so they feel more relaxed in your premises, confident in the knowledge that they are being better protected.
What is UV-C disinfection?
Germicidal UV-C disinfection is where Ultraviolet light of a short wavelength (254nm) is emitted to inactivate/kill microorganisms by destroying their nucleic acids, which dismantles their RNA and DNA, therefore destroying their structures, the building blocks of their existence and neutralising them. This is also known as Germicidal Ultraviolet (GUV). The inactivation of a pathogen is virtually instant upon exposure.Where else can GUV be used?
We can fit products into liquids, such as in water systems to sterilise the drinking water or to reduce biohazard in wastewater sewage.Devices can be used for mobile equipment such as conveyor belts, and we have developed transport solutions too.The list of possible applications is vast, and we can design UV-C solutions that are suited to your specific needs.Why are air disinfection solutions important?
Smaller pathogen droplets, micro-droplets and droplet nucleii (aerosols) can remain in an air system or surrounding air for up to 3 hours if the air in a room remains undisturbed, and they can remain for much longer in damp chilled environments, such as food factories. These aerosols can also travel several metres indoors due to air currents. If ventilation is inadequate, the risk of infection is accelerated.Our GUV systems ensure that air is constantly disinfected by inactivating any harmful airborne microbes such as Coronavirus and other airborne pathogens.
