What is Environmental Cleaning & Disinfection Equipment?

Ensuring the quality of air and environment for the workplace is crucial for the safety and health of workers. Besides implementing safety rules and practices for construction work, environmental safety must be considered as well. Cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces and surroundings are essential to maintain the optimum working conditions for everyone in sites. 

A few common types of equipment designed for this are listed below.

Air Scrubber

An air scrubber is a filtration device that is typically attached to the ductwork of any Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. In construction terms, it is usually referred to as a portable filtration system that removes airborne particles and improves air quality.

Like most filtration systems, an air scrubber draws the contaminated air from its surroundings and uses purification filters to remove contaminants as the air is circulated through the system. The fresh air that is free of chemicals is then pumped out. It is commonly used in restoration projects, medical facilities, and construction sites.

Dehumidifier

A dehumidifier is an air conditioning device that reduces and maintains the level of humidity in the air. Desiccant Dehumidifiers specialized for construction projects are designed to withstand the harsh construction environment and provide the drying capacity required to establish and maintain proper environmental conditions.

It is important to dry out and check the humidity levels so that materials can dry at an accelerated pace and the potential for mold growth is considerably decreased.

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet light to kill or neutralize microorganisms by destroying their nucleic acids or disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. Thus, it is also capable of reducing or disinfecting mold, bacteria, and viruses effectively.

It is typically used in hospitals & healthcare facilities and commercial buildings, but these days due to coronavirus outbreaks, one can see them in action in some site offices.

Ozone Generator

An ozone generator is a device designed to produce the gas ozone. Ozone uses its free radical oxygen molecule to oxidize viruses, bacteria as well as mold. Effectively utilized in water purification, but ozone in the air must reach high levels to remove air pollutants.

It is suitable for use in residential, commercial, and health facilities.
