Steril-Aire by Genmatech

Our science is revolutionary. But our aim is simple: to produce innovative technological solutions, based on scientific research, that save energy and help build a healthier world, respectful of human health and the environment.

Thanks to its R&D team, Steril-Aire has succeeded in developing a patented range of high-intensity, germicidal ultraviolet C lamps, specifically designed for air-conditioning, ventilation and heating systems (HVAC, AHU, AHU) for air decontamination. Steril-Aire UVCs can be integrated directly into any air-handling unit: central air handling unit, fan coil unit, cassette, ducted, split, ducted, upstream or downstream of the coil, to act at the source of contamination. UVCs act as air purifiers inside the AHU casing, ductwork or air-handling cassette. Purifying the air at this level of the air handling system, Steril-Aire technology ensures decontaminated, purified and healthy air in environments.

In biological terms, UVC radiation with a spectrum of 253.7 nm has been proven to be the most bactericidal and virucidal. In fact, it is the leading germicide in the environment. Steril-Airemanufactures UVC with a 253.7 nm spectrum that does not fluctuate regardless of temperature, air speed or humidity level, which is why it is the most effective and why our UVCs release no ozone or secondary contaminants.

By reproducing this natural air purification process, UV-C disinfection neutralizes over 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and fungi. By integrating Steril-Aire 253.7 nm germicidal UVC lamps into air conditioning and ventilation systems, Steril-Aire's air purification technologyensures air decontamination of over 99.9%. UVC acts as a natural air purifier.

Steril-Aire benefits

On our website www.steril-aire.fr you will find a number of case studies confirming that Steril-Aire :

• Destroys biofilm (mold, bacteria and viruses) growing in batteries, preventing it from growing further
• Automatic battery cleaning
• Eliminates viruses, bacteria, mycotoxins/mold spores and VOCs from circulating air
• Provides partial protection against pandemics
• Saves 10 to 20% of energy costs for air conditioning, ventilation and heating systems
• Reduces carbon footprint
• Provides IAQ (up to 99.9%) free of airborne bacteria and viral molds
• Improves occupant health and reduces absenteeism
• Reduces hospital-acquired infections
• Saves battery maintenance work and the cost of battery cleaning equipment
• Extends the life of downstream HEPA filters
• Extends the service life of coils and coolers
• Allows use of grey water condensate from the air handling unit
• Reduces bacteria on food
• Provides a return on investment in less than a year

Our solutions are environmentally friendly, with no need for chemicals. They also reduce energy and maintenance costs, while ensuring safe operation.

Hospital-acquired infections

Four case studies (Lehigh Valley Fertility Clinic, Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo, Lower Bucks County Hospital of Philadelphia and Florida Hospitals) show that with Steril-Aire UVC, hospital-acquired infections are reduced by up to 40% and fertility success rates are increased by 20%. At the same time, hospital HVAC energy consumption has been reduced by up to 20%.

Pandemics

COVID-19, H1N1, the previous SARS epidemic, avian flu and new strains of untreatable tuberculosis have made building managers realize that they need to protect their occupants. Steril-Aire emitters can eliminate the circulation of viruses and bacteria in HVAC systems by up to 99.9%.

Energy savings and carbon footprint

A cooling coil kept clean at all times by Steril-Aire emitters is far more efficient than one that is periodically cleaned by hand. Experience shows that Steril-Aire emitters can save up to 10-20% on energy costs, reducing carbon emissions by 1 metric ton for every 1,607 kWh.

Coil cleaning regulations

Many countries (EU) now require mandatory inspections and battery cleaning standards. Steril-Aire transmitters will meet or exceed all current cleaning standards.

Green is economical

Numerous government institutions, hundreds of hospitals and thousands of companies around the world are committed to new environmental standards and use Steril-Aire emitters to achieve them, improve "sustainability" and at the same time reap the significant economic benefits derived from their use.
