| New UVC portable unit provides in-room decontamination  A new mobile decontamination unit equipped with multi-patented, high output UVC technology is now available from Steril-Aire. Called the Remedial In-Room Decontamination System, RIDS, it provides a safe and effective way to decontaminate surfaces infested with mold, viruses and bacteria. The user wheels the RIDS unit into the infested area, leaves the room and turns on the unit remotely, allowing the energy from the high output UVC Emitters to decontaminate walls, tabletops and other surfaces. Advertisement A 12' x 12' area can typically be decontaminated in approximately 24 hours. Multiple RIDS units may be used to treat larger areas.Steril-Aire UVC technology uses no chemicals, produces no ozone or other toxic contaminants, and minimizes worker exposure during the decontamination process. The high output UVC energy quickly kills or inactivates microorganisms that contribute to poor IAQ and/or the spread of infectious disease. The portable RIDS unit is suitable for any type of residential, commercial, industrial or institutional building. Applications include residential and commercial surface mold remediation; food preparation and processing areas; surface decontamination in hospitals and health care facilities; and surface treatment in DNA laboratories to prevent cross-contamination. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
