The air cleaning systems offered by Genano can be used for both central ventilation systems and the cleaning of specific targets in the following areas.
Medical Applications Genano products are used in hospitals, laboratories and isolation wards. They remove harmful particles as well as dangerous micro-organisms from the air to create a healthier environment.
Reducing the number of particles and micro-organisms in the air helps reduced the risk of infection in patients as well as staff. Reception and Treatment Rooms A sick person may inadvertently spread bacteria and viruses in the air in reception and treatment rooms and infect the medical personnel and other patients. Genano air cleaners minimize airborne infection in these facilities Dental Applications Dentists and laboratory workers are exposed to a number of potential chemical hazards, such as mercury, plastic fillings, anaesthetic gases, disinfectants, natural rubber latex (in protective gloves), rubber chemicals and X-ray chemicals. Both the medical staff and patients can be affected. According to occupational disease statistics between 1997 and 1999, plastic filling materials were the main reason for occupational diseases among dentists and dental assistants. Typical occupational diseases include skin and respiratory allergies and skin irritation. As to the other substances health care professionals are exposed to, anesthetic gases used in dental surgery are among those that pose a significant risk.
Genano air cleaners can be used to minimize the risk of airborne infection and ensure a healthy working environment for the medical personnel and patients alike. Public Building Applications Changing fiber filters in office buildings creates considerable maintenance costs. A fiber filter is always a mechanical obstacle to air flow, and energy is needed to pass the necessary amount of air through the filter cloth. As the filter cloth becomes blocked, the pressure loss increases, thus increasing the energy need. Usually the fiber filter cannot be re-used and may even be considered hazardous waste. Genano’s total air cleaning units replace or supplement normal fiber filters. The units support sustainable development, because filter waste is no longer created as the accumulated mass of particles is flushed into the sewer.
For the treatment of particles created inside a specific space, Genano offers air cleaners with a separation efficiency of almost 100% for particles as small as 1 nano microns (such as viruses, bacteria, pollen and mold spores). Schools and Day Care Applications Many schools and day nurseries suffer from poor indoor air quality. Young children deserve the best possible environment to grow and learn in. Genano indoor air cleaners improve air quality to a significant extent.
Case studies in problem spaces have shown that Genano air cleaners can reduce symptoms and create a safer and healthier working environment.
Genano air cleaners achieve a cleaning efficiency of almost 100%, removing particles as small as 0.001µm (which include viruses, bacteria, mold spores and pollen).
For total air cleaning, Genano recommends our air cleaning units, which replace conventional fiber filter units. Small particles generated by traffic and larger particles such as mold, pollen and street dust can be effectively removed from indoor air. Allergy Sufferers and Asthmatics Springtime is the worst time for asthmatics and people with allergies. When trees begin to pollinate, the symptoms of such people get worse, and street dust adds to the discomfort.
Genano air cleaners can be used to alleviate allergic and asthmatic symptoms. Industrial Applications MFI® technology can remove ultra fine particles from 1 nanometer in size. It can be used for industrial applications, to clean the air from welding fumes, paper dust, smells, car exhausts and industrial exhaust.
MFI® technology is particularly suitable for big capacity installations where it generates huge energy savings. Indeed this technology does not require fiber filters and the air can therefore pass freely through the system, without need of powerful fans. The Genano 1000 series units are programmed for automatic self-cleaning cycles, which also reduce significantly the maintenance costs.
