Water is one of the means of dispersal that presents the COVID-19 patogen. The exact length of time the microorganism can survive outside a host is unknown. Tritón UVC reactors are adapted to the circulation of fluids through their interior, being effective in the sterilization of swimming pools and drinking water, instantly eliminating structurally simple microorganisms such as viruses.
Covid-19 virus is expelled in the form of small droplets when breathing, speaking or coughing. It can survive up to 3 hours after being released into the air. Our Eolia equipments are able to collecting the environmental air containing the viral load and subjecting it to lethal doses of ultraviolet radiation.
The survival time of the virus on surfaces depends on the characteristics of the material. Its permanence oscillates between 4 hours and 3 days. GEA UVC equipment is a tubular device on which UVC lamps are placed that directly impact the environment. To achieve the total elimination of the pathogen, the time and intensity of the radiation must be adjusted, adjusting to the persistence of the virus in the material.
When light in the order of 254 nm falls on a microorganism, it crosses its protective barriers and penetrates the cell interior, altering the three-dimensional structure of the DNA chain and preventing its transcription and replication. The microorganism is inactivated and dies in seconds regardless of its structural complexity, it is only a matter of readjusting the radiation dose.
The sterilizing action of UVC energy is dose dependent; the higher the dose, the greater the sterilization power. The dose is a logarithmic function, product of a light intensity for a time of application. It is usually measured in mJ / cm2. The greater the structural complexity of the microorganism, the higher the radiation dose will be necessary to apply for its destruction.
The simpler the microorganism is structured, the easier it will be to inactivate it by UVC radiation. Viruses and bacteria (prokaryotic cells) are easier to destroy than yeasts and fungi (eukaryotic cells). The spores, whose DNA is protected by a pigmented cell wall and a concentrated cytoplasm, will require a higher dose of radiation.
The use of our sterilization equipments do not produce any type of contamination since it is a physical and not a chemical process
The implementation of UVC Solutions products require minimal maintenance after installation. In addition, the use of disinfectant chemicals is reduced when indicated.
99.9999% of the pathogens present in the treated medium are eliminated, making it a sterilization process compared to the current widespread disinfection methods
UVC TRITON Triton UVC equipments consist of a tubular reactor through which a fluid circulates, generally water which is subjected to short-wave ultraviolet radiation. Depending on the demand of our customers and users, different calibrated reactor units can be combined to emit the necessary radiation dose.
UVC EOLIA UVC Eolia equipments consist of a tubular reactor adapted to air circulation. Germicidal radiation eliminates the presence of harmful microorganisms, thereby suppressing the risk of contaminations and infections acquired through this route.
UVC GEA Machinery designed for the elimination of pathogens that adhere to surfaces. They allow the sterility of rooms where the presence of infectious microorganisms aggravates their harmful consequences, such as operating rooms or clean rooms.
"It is possible to minimize the risks if all possible measures are put into play to combat the contagion. These are the probabilities of infection in these three cotidian scenarios depending on the ventilation, the use of masks and the duration of the encounter."
"UVC Solutions produced technology based on UVC light to decontaminate water, air and surfaces, effective against all types of microorganisms", "it has the ability to destroy both DNA and RNA, and its effectiveness depends on the applied dose."
"Direct and repetitive illumination of 222 nm UVC UV radiation, which is a powerful sterilizer, does not cause skin cancer. These results also suggest that 222 nm UVC is also safe for human eyes and skin. "
"It has been known for quite some time that ultraviolet radiation allows the cleaning of harmful germs related to viruses. China now uses it to clean elevators, buses, tickets, etc."
"Some nitrogenous organic compounds present in swimming pools can react with the chlorine in the water, this can end up forming chemical compounds that irritate the eyes and bronchial tubes such as trichloramine"
"There could have been a chlorine leak in the facility, since several swimmers had similar symptoms typical of this type of poisoning (red eyes and respiratory failure)"
"More than 35,000 people die each year in Spain as a result of multi-resistant bacteria -which do not respond to antibiotics- a threat to public health and which in Spain represents a problem of great magnitude, since it is the first country in the world in the use of antibiotics
"Viruses, parasites and fungi can be contracted in swimming pool water if they are not properly controlled, which, added to the heat and humidity, represents an ideal breeding ground for various infections"
"The best way to keep the areas where vulnerable patients are concentrated as free of microorganisms as possible" .. "use of protected germicidal ultraviolet light lamps in areas where there is adequate air flow guaranteeing the passage of this through light and thus achieve maximum impact ".
"It can affect immunosuppressed people producing amoebic granulomatous encephalitis", "it produces amoebic keratitis" which "is characterized by being extremely painful, with ulceration of the corneal epithelium and significant compromise of vision", "they are very resistant to chlorine, which is why can survive in drinking and swimming pool water"
"It appears during hospital admission, but nowadays it also extends to that related to health care in a broad sense. These infections are sometimes a reason for admission to intensive care units (ICU) and others, a consequence of stay in these "
