UVGI

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation

UVGI (Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation) is a process which has been proven to remove or eliminate VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds; viruses and bacteria, spores and other pathogens that are present indoors. Microbial organisms, such as viruses, bacteria, spores etc. are heavily present in the air at crowded spaces like airports, cinemas, hospitals, schools/colleges and universities, office buildings etc. The presence of these armful viruses and bacteria jeopardizes the health of people and UVGI undoubtedly minimizes the number of bacteria.

The sole purpose of UVGI is to kill the bacteria and viruses present in the air that cause us infectious diseases. The extent to which UVGI system eliminates bacteria depends on the intensity and duration of the UV light, percentage of humidity in the air, the bacteria or virus that is to be targeted etc. Research has also shown that the UVGI system can eliminate up to 99.99% of mold, spores and other forms of bacteria and viruses on the irradiated surfaces.

REASONS TO USE UVGI:

The mold and bacteria that grows on coils and in ducts disposes spores into the air and enters our working space. By using the UVGI system, the bacteria and mold hiding at unreachable places, can be eliminated and prevent health risks.
By keeping the coils, ducts and IAQ inside our facilities cleaner, the UVGI systems can also improve the performance of the MVAC system and save energy consumption.

APPLICATION AREAS FOR UVGI

Hospitals:

Everyday hundreds of patients visit hospitals with various harmful infections or emergencies. To prevent those contagious infections from spreading, the use of UVGI system is ideal to help kill the bacteria causing infections.

Food processing factories/ grocers/ restaurants

Air quality and risk of surface cleanliness are necessities for the production and packaging of the food products and the UVGI sterilization can reduce the chances of the possibility of the contamination. By having a UVGI sterilization done, grocery shop owners or farmers can even increase the life shelf of their produce by eliminating ethylene, which is the cause of speed aging of food products.

Schools/ Colleges/ Universities, Commercial spaces etc

According to the EPA, an unhealthy IAQ (Indoor air Quality) affects the health of the students or employees, which in turn, would then affect their attendance and performance of the company. And UVGI is a doubtless and a guaranteed solution to improve the air quality inside.

BENEFITS OF UVGI

Improves IAQ by eliminating harmful airborne viruses, bacteria and mold spores.
Removes foul odors inside the room by eliminating the bacteria and spores causing it.
Maintaining the air clean by killing the root cause of the most problems, saves the time and resources of a business.

Effectiveness of UVGI sterilization in killing the viruses and bacteria

UVGI sterilization is not only effective in killing viruses and bacteria only but also many more micro-organisms. The kind of UVGI equipment we use is effective against all kinds of parasites, molds, microbes, and spores. Since different micro-organisms are of different shapes and sizes, it takes different length of a period to kill different species.

How does it work?

A short wave of UV radiation has an extraordinarily strong effect on bacteria. The radiation emitting from the UVGI breaks and scrambles down certain chemical bonds and the structure of DNA, RNA and proteins of the micro-organisms that makes them unable to multiply. When they are unable to multiply, they’re considered dead since they cannot reproduce and are no longer infectious.

Advantages of UVGI

Easy to handle: It is very convenient to use.
It is safe and reliable: Since there are no chemicals involved, therefore you won’t need to worry about any chemical residues being left behind.
Protection against all kinds of pathogens: It can kill all kinds of microbial germs (bacteria, viruses, spores etc.) in the air, including the drug resistant bacteria.

Let it only be handled by a professional team like ours!

Since UVGI has a tendency to kill the harshest and toughest of micro-organisms, it is equally dangerous to humans. Which is why the UVGI sterilization process is conducted using the lamps with protective shields. Direct exposure to the light (especially the skin and eyes), will cause harm and serious injuries, which is why it is best to let the experts handle this task.

From counters at the supermarket to sketchy hotel sheets, UVGI sterilization is a great option to sterilize anything with no danger (as long as you let our professionals handle the job.) Our team of experts have years of experience, positive feedback, and thousands of referrals.
