A proven range of germicidal Ultra-Violet (UV)lamps from the USA is now available in the UK and Europe The "Steril- Aire" multi-patented UVC emitters are safe but powerful lamps which work within existing heating and air-conditioning systems to kill both surface and airborne micro-organisms including a significant percentage of H5N1 avian flu viruses, legionella and bacteria and therefore help prevent the spread of infectious diseases

mCERTs Approval For ABB Continuous Gas Analysers
The range of Continuous Gas Analysers and systems manufactured and marketed by ABB Limited has recently been certified to the latest mCERTs standards.
Allergy symptoms are also effectively relieved.
The Steril-Aire emitters utilise unusual voltages, excitation waveforms, discharge ignition and a unique blend of gases and vapours to achieve a high output and very stable broad-band ultra violet energy.
Germicidal UVC energy penetrates the outer structure of the bacteria cells and alters the DNA molecule; this prevents replication causing cell death.
The system is however completely safe for man and animals.
In addition to health benefits, they also save money by reducing HVAC energy and maintenance costs.
The need for costly coil cleaning operations is eliminated since the build-up of mould is prevented.
The many applications in the USA include schools/ colleges, commercial buildings, health care facilities, food processing plant, factories and domestic installations.
By eliminating mould, bacteria and other contaminants, the indoor air quality is optimised resulting in health and productivity benefits.
The lamps comply with all of the relevant legislation in the USA and Canada, including UL standard 1995, European compliance and they are manufactured under ISO9000:2000 disciplines.
Installation is straightforward with minimal disruption and the Steril-Aire lamps can be easily fitted to virtually any existing HVAC system.
