Advanced UVC Disinfection

Chemical-free disinfection for air, water, and surfaces

Harness the proven germicidal power of UVC light to eliminate pathogens and create safer environments.

How UVC Light Destroys Pathogens

Understanding the molecular mechanism behind UVC disinfection

DNA/RNA Structure

Pathogens contain genetic material (DNA/RNA) essential for reproduction

UVC Penetration

254nm UVC wavelength penetrates cell walls and reaches genetic material

Molecular Damage

UV photons break chemical bonds, creating thymine dimers that disrupt DNA

Inactivation

Damaged genetic material prevents replication, effectively inactivating the pathogen

Aircraft Cabin Disinfection

Rapid turnaround disinfection systems for commercial aircraft. Complete cabin treatment in under 10 minutes.

Public Transit

Automated UV systems for buses, trains, and subway cars during overnight maintenance windows.

Emergency Vehicles

Portable UV disinfection units for ambulances and emergency response vehicles.

Critical Design Parameters

Key factors for effective UVC disinfection system implementation

UV Dose Calculation

Precise dose delivery based on pathogen type, exposure time, and distance. Typical requirements range from 10-100 mJ/cm² for most pathogens.

Dose = Intensity × Time Distance affects intensity

Safety Integration

Human safety systems including motion sensors, emergency stops, and UV-blocking enclosures to prevent accidental exposure.

Zero human exposure Automated safety shutoffs

Environmental Factors

Temperature, humidity, and air circulation affect UVC effectiveness. Systems must account for shadowing and reflective surfaces.

Humidity <80% optimal Line-of-sight required

Lamp Life & Maintenance

UV lamp output degrades over time. Systems include monitoring and maintenance scheduling to ensure consistent performance.

8,000-17,000 hour lifespan Output monitoring essential
