Our products operate using UVC irradiation at a wavelength of 254 nanometres (nm) to lethally damage airborne microorganisms. This is known as the germicidal irradiation wavelength, and the recognisedterm for this, throughout the world, is UVGI.

HOW DOES UVGI WORK?

UVGI works as a mutagen to bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms on a cellular level, penetrating the cell wall. This disrupts the microorganism DNA (deoxyrilbonucleic acid), breaking the carbon bond, which causes the death of the cell and/or renders it incapable of multiplying. UV has been known as a mutagen for over a hundred years. In 1903 the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Niels Finsen for his use of UV against tuberculosis.

Simple installation and ease of operation, together with the cost and environmental benefits over other processes, makes UV air sterilisation a viable technology option for indoor air purification. However, its success depends on the UV intensity combined with ‘dwell time’ - the length of time particles are exposed to the light.

THE BENEFITS OF ULTRA CLEAN AIR

· 99.9% reduction in the concentration of microorganisms

· Reduced energy operating costs by 20%

· Delivers measurable performance and guaranteed results

· Ideal for new developments and refurbished buildings including: hospitals, offices, commercial premises, hotels, schools, entertainment venues, pharmaceutical manufacturing, clean rooms.

WHAT MAKES UVGI SYSTEMS UNIQUE?

UVGI Systems’ products have been developed from UVGI patented technology, and are the result of over ten years intensive research and over £14M investment.Working alongside air movement and acoustic specialists Mansfield Pollard, research and development has included long-term testing in UK hospitals,at the UK Government Health Protection Agency Biosafety test house Porton Down and with the Pathogen Control Department at the University of Leeds. This has produced an air sanitation product range that harnesses maximum light intensity with optimum dwell time. Each UVGI product features high efficiency, low pressure, high wattage UV lamps mounted within the air stream, shining into a reflective anacoil chamber. Quartz shrouded lamps help prevent tube degeneration and maximise the light intensity to ensure the best possible air sterilisation. This combination means that, for the first time, UVGI Systems are able to deliver measurable performance and guaranteed results with the most powerful, efficient and economical air sterilisation units on the market today - providing ultra clean air.
