Microbiological Decontamination:
—Discover the effectiveness of UV light
As specialists in air treatment solutions for businesses and industrial facilities since 2005, Photoclean has developed a new method of microbiological decontamination.
Highly effective and designed for continuous operation, this method is suitable for all industries while being energy-efficient. This is THE solution to all your bio-contamination problems.
What are the modes of microbiological contamination?
In a closed environment, it is common to find undesirable or even dangerous microorganisms. These agents can be of various types: bacteria, viruses, molds, yeasts, etc.
These can be found directly on the surface or inside products (particularly food products), but also in the air or in water. This type of pollution is referred to as biocontamination.
In addition to its direct impact on human health, microbiological contamination causes other problems. Microorganisms can produce toxins, which in turn cause foul odors. This is particularly true in certain food-processing sectors (dairies, cheese factories, etc.). Another indirect consequence is economic in nature: spoiled or unsellable products, customer returns, etc.
To combat biological contamination in industrial or pharmaceutical facilities, two factors must be taken into account: the presence of undesirable microorganisms and that of the chemical compounds—or VOCs—on which they feed.
We will therefore discuss microbiological and chemical air decontamination.
The Benefits of the Photoclean Method for Biological Air Decontamination
The effectiveness of our technology is based on the phenomenon of photolysis, a technique for air decontamination using UV-C light. What sets our method apart is that it combines the action of UV-C rays with that of a proprietary filter medium, which optimizes their effectiveness. Its special fibers trap organic and chemical pollutants, allowing them to be eliminated by the nearby UV lamp.
As a world-first, Photoclean offers a solution for organic and chemical air decontamination with numerous benefits:
- an innovative and high-performance technology that is effective even with very large volumes of air
- no risk of accidental recontamination, thanks to the process of immediately eliminating—rather than storing—microorganisms and pollutants
- a range of units designed to fit any space and any layout, whether or not you already use an air handling unit
- Minimal pressure drop for energy-efficient operation
- virtually eliminating dead zones in your facilities
