HVAC systems when left neglected for couple of months start to build colonies of germs inside the Ducts. The reason being a favourable environment for such microorganisms. In the past there have been various studies showing the spread of various germs through HVAC systems.
OZONE STERILIZATION
- Ozone has been recognized as a safe disinfectant for water and food for many years now. It can be safely used in both gaseous and aqueous forms as an antimicrobial agent in the treatment, storage and processing of foods.
- Ozone therapy is effective and has positive results on various bacteria and viruses especially on SARS – Virus and has the proof of use of the therapy since 1800.
- Ozone is also commonly used in hospitals to sanitize equipment’s and significantly reduce or eliminate the spread of bacteria’s and viruses.
- Ozone sterilization was also successfully used to purify environments during the SARS – COV –1.
- Ozone has special biological properties, its theoretical and practical attributes makes it a viable candidate as a virus inactivator through a variety of physicochemical and immunological mechanisms.
- With such vital properties of Ozone in Fighting against such germs it is highly recommended to Ozone Sterilize our ducts after Cleaning.

UV(ULTRAVIOLET) STERILIZATION
- The disinfection properties of ultraviolet lighting have been known for over 140 years, since Downes and Blunt discovered the antibacterial effects of the shorter wavelengths of sunlight. Shortly thereafter, it was proved that the UV portions of the light spectrum were able to destroy microorganisms.
- Ultraviolet light is a type of naturally present electromagnetic radiation that is in sunlight and actually makes up approximately 10% of the total light generated by the sun.
- Ultraviolet light kills cells by damaging their DNA. Exposure to the electromagnetic radiation (light) at certain UV wavelengths attacks microorganisms and destroys their ability to reproduce.
- Covered ultraviolet light is used for sterilization at various places such as hospitals, airports, offices etc.
WHY OZONE & UV STERILIZATION
CONVENIENCE
- These can be easily generated/mounted on site. The equipment’s are available in various sizes and can be used for a very small space like HVAC DUCTS to large public spaces like hospitals, offices, airports, ships or airplanes.
FULL COVERAGE
- Ozone generated by ozone generators can reach every corner of the environment and the same goes with UV Lights, which can overcome the problem that other sterilization would not be able to do so effectively.
HIGH DETERGENCY
- Oxidizing bacteria and virus is how ozone works, with no harmful residue. Unlike other chemical disinfectants we use might be harmful to human body as well as leave residue.APART FROM THIS THERE ARE NUMBER OF BENEFITS OF USING THESE TECHNOLOGIES AS SUCH ODOUR REMOVAL, WATER TREATMENT, OZONE THERAPY ETC.
It is recommended that the lungs of our buildings therefore the HVAC systems should be cleaned and sterilized periodically. In current world scenario, where utmost importance is being given to keep the surroundings clean and hygienic. We must not forget the HVAC system through which the air is being supplied to us. The technologies that we are using for sterilization are tested proven and are well documented.
