Airius PureAir: Protecting Staff In Manufacturing

Challenge

The protection of staff during the COVID19 pandemic has been a key area of research and investment for Smurfit Kappa since the emergence of Coronavirus in 2020. In response to this management teams at manufacturing facilities in both Brno and Olomouc in the Czech Republic sought to install air purification systems to minimise the chances of transmission and keep staff safe.

Solution

Following a survey of both facilities, PureAir units were specified for installation in their changing rooms and canteen areas. This provided protection at the point of entry to the main manufacturing space, neutralisingcontainments whilst staff changed in to their work uniforms, as well as providing protection in the canteen where people would congregate in the highest numbers.

Benefits

You may not be able to see the many benefits of the PureAir system, but the results speak for themselves:

  • • 99.9% effective at neutralising COVID19
  • • Round-the-clock 24/7 protection
  • • Sterilises both the air and surfaces
  • • Protects surfaces with an invisible sterilising shield
  • • Reduces particle contamination of processes
  • • Neutralises unpleasant odours and VOCs
  • • Reduces outdoor air intake by up to 75%
  • • Recirculating rising heat also reduces HVAC costs

Results

Following installation of the PureAir system staff at both facilities are now able to work in confidence, reassured that they are provided with an extra level of protection from COVID19, as well as 99% of all communicable illnesses. This not only ensures the safety of staff but also reduces sickness and absenteeism. The improved airflow and recirculation of high level heat also reduces energy costs.

PureAir Home Technology Explained

How does the PureAir Series PHI Cell kill bacteria and viruses in the air and on surfaces?

The PureAir PhotoHydroIonisation (PHI) Cell is a kind of UV light that emits advanced oxidation plasma. Included as part of a fan system, the PHI cell distributes hydro-peroxides, superoxide ions and hydroxide ions throughout the space, neutralising 99% of micro-organisms in the air and on surfaces.

PHI cells produce a group of oxidants known as hydroperoxides. Far from new to our world, hydroperoxides have been around for 3.5 billion years – and today they are commonly used in food processing environments, where they offer an anti-microbial treatment without leaving chemical residues.
