Microbiological Contamination of the Air: Solutions for the Direct and Continuous Removal of Pollutants
Microbiological contamination of the air, also known as biocontamination, affects enclosed buildings in businesses and industries across all sectors.
The threat of microbiological contamination poses a risk both to the health of workers in these buildings and to the quality of the goods produced.
What causes microbiological air contamination?
Microbiological air pollution can occur as a result of the growth of organisms—such as fungi, yeasts, viruses, or bacteria—on the building’s structure itself or on some of the products manufactured there. These microorganisms may be present in the ambient air, but also on a work surface or in water. Toxins present in the air are of particular concern.
As those responsible for the goods produced, business leaders and manufacturers in the food industry, medical, and pharmaceutical sectors, as well as in mass retail and other industries, risk criminal prosecution in the event of product contamination, particularly if the contaminated products pose a health hazard to consumers.
The Photoclean Solution for Continuous Active Air Purification
Air contamination by microorganisms and toxins makes it necessary to treat the indoor air in enclosed spaces against both biological and chemical contaminants.
That is why the Photoclean solution ensures the continuous removal of airborne contaminants and significantly reduces health risks.
In the food industry—such as bakeries, butcher shops, cheese factories, and the wine industry—contaminants that alter the appearance, taste, or smell of products are eliminated through effective air treatment.
In the service sector and in hospitals, the Photoclean system removes fine particles and limits the spread of viruses and other pathogens, which can sometimes cause nosocomial infections that may be fatal to vulnerable individuals.
Photoclean can also provide a high-performance ventilation system, featuring air extraction and replacement for complete disinfection.
A customized solution for every business or factory
Photoclean has been in business since 2005 and is recognized as the only company in France to offer comprehensive, custom-designed air treatment solutions (including for large volumes exceeding 60,000 m³) with a minimum efficiency of 95%.
The photolysis system used—which incorporates a UV disinfection lamp and a media designed and manufactured exclusively by Photoclean—ensures continuous treatment with consistent effectiveness, without pressure drop, and coverage of most dead zones.
Because we offer several solutions for combating air pollution caused by microorganisms, there is no need to make major modifications to the installation. The modules are compatible with most systems and air handling units.
During the technical audit, we conduct a site assessment so that we can propose a comprehensive solution tailored specifically to your business and your needs. You will then receive recommendations and advice on the best way to set up your equipment based on the contamination risk present, the layout of the premises, and your desired aesthetic.
