It is often assumed that being indoors is a safe and healthy place for people who have health issues, but this actually puts them more at risk. However, the air movement inside is much lower and only a percentage of the air is fresh. Not to mention, there are many sources that can contribute to indoor air pollution such as printers and copiers, insulation, carpet, furniture made from pressed wood, cleaning chemicals, and dust from building occupants. And in industrial buildings, the pollution sources may also come from the machinery and the dust or debris created during the manufacturing process.
There are many reasons why industries are turning to germicidal UV technology for industrial air cleaning systems. Germicidal UVC lamps can effectively sterilize bacteria, mold, fungi and viruses without the health hazard associated with the use of harmful chemicals. Another big advantage is that UV systems are easy to operate and maintain, and their compact design makes retrofitting simple.
Germicidal UV lamps provide a broad range of applications that are used throughout the world by many industries.
Best Uses for UVC Light Disinfection Systems
UVGI for HVAC Systems
UVC lighting at the coil (also known as In-duct UVGI systems) are mounted inside AHUs or ventilation ductwork. When selected to produce appropriate irradiance levels, in-duct systems can be effective for air disinfection. The goal of an in-duct air disinfection system is to inactivate microbes suspended in the air (e.g., viable influenza viruses) as they move through the duct or AHU, so the organism is no longer capable of causing disease. Rapid Install Kit – For AHUs from light industrial to heavy commercial
- Enhanced UVC Kit – For air handler units typically found in commercial and industrial facilities
- Single-Ended UVC Fixtures (SE Series) – For exterior units, such as rooftop units, AHUs, heat pumps, fan coils, packaged terminal units and ducts
- Double-Ended UVC Fixtures (DE Series) – For medium-to-large and built-up AHUs
- Unitary Kit for Air Conditioners – For indoor air handling units of less than 5 tons
UVC Light Disinfection Wands
UVC hand-held wand is a device designed to deactivate surface mold, bacteria, viruses and yeast. This wand is ideal for food processing, healthcare, commercial and institutional environments. Approved by the USDA and FDA for surface decontamination, the wand is suitable for a variety of specialized uses for surface decontamination and mold remediation. Some of the best UVC uses for the Handheld Wand include:
- Food preparation, processing and packaging areas to reduce pathogens such Coliform, Salmonella, E.coli, Staphylococcus, Listeria
- Laboratories and cleanrooms to prevent cross-contamination
- Hard to reach and high-touch surfaces such keyboards, doorknobs, machinery…etc.
Mobile Remote UVC Disinfection System
The Mobile Remote UVC Disinfection System is portable to help to bring the power of highly concentrated UVC light technology wherever it is needed for air and surface decontamination. This system provides mold and bacteria control in laboratories, cleanrooms, as well as food preparation and processing plants. The most common UVC uses for the Mobile Remote UVC Disinfection System include:
- Full room sanitization
- Mold and bacteria control in food processing areas
- Laboratories and cleanrooms to prevent cross-contamination
Ceiling/Wall Mountable Germicidal UVC System
The Ceiling/Wall Mountable Germicidal UVC System is designed to provide rapid and effective on-site decontamination and sterilization utilizing high powered UVC energy. It can be installed in either a ceiling or a wall. The UVC Panel attacks pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and mold, on surfaces and in the air. Its UVC Emitters provide the best and longest-lasting UVC performance available. Some of the most common UVC uses for the Ceiling/Wall Mountable System include:
- Full room disinfecting and sanitizing
- Disinfecting and sanitizing incoming and outgoing packages in shipping and receiving rooms
Now is the perfect time to consider using UVC Disinfectant lighting in your industrial facility. We know in some settings it is very difficult to practice social distancing. Consider installing UVC Light disinfection systems to disinfect and protect your employees from harmful bacteria and viruses.
