Fresh clean air is the basis of life for plants, animals and humans.
Odours, greases and microorganisms may pollute the air and UV radiation is a cost-effective alternative for many air treatment processes.
UV light sources from Heraeus emit two wavelengths for air treatment:
UV-C radiation at 254 nm has an intensive germicidal effect - chemicals do not need to be added. Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, spores, mould and dust mites are inactivated.
UV radiation at 185 nm generates ozone from the oxygen in the surrounding air which is used to oxidise air pollutants.
Cleaning of air requires an individual UV treatment, as the kind and degree of the pollution vary in each case, and air temperature, air velocity and air flow rates also play an important role. For the treatment of polluted air, Heraeus supplies various lamp technologies for commercial use – and jointly with you works out the optimal UV solution for your individual air treatment application.
