laboratories

To help protect their biotechnology laboratories from microbial contamination, Colgate-Palmolive asked Hanovia to install UV disinfection systems in the air ducting for one of its UK facilities

To help protect its biotechnology laboratories from microbial contamination, Colgate-Palmolive has commissioned ultraviolet (UV) specialist Hanovia to install several UV disinfection systems within the in-line air ducting of one of its UK facilities UV is effective against all micro-organisms and is now a well-established method for reducing the spread of airborne contaminants in laboratories, hospitals and food manufacturing facilities

Commenting on the installations, Engineering Services Manager Phil Taylor said, "After considering several alternatives, our engineering department decided that UV was the most suitable technology for our requirements.

Since their installation they have been working exactly as intended and have kept microbial contamination in the air ducts within acceptable levels".

Compact and easy to install within existing ductwork, Hanovia UV systems are silent in operation and can treat up to 4m3/second of air per lamp.

They are virtually maintenance-free, the only regular requirement being the replacement of the UV lamp once a year, a simple operation that can be carried out by general maintenance staff.
