French company UVGERMI is set to showcase its expertise in the development and manufacture of ultraviolet reactors for treating water, air and surfaces, working in France and abroad to improve the quality of the environment, in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

It will present its products to local environmental professionals and position itself on the UAE market, at the World Future Energy Summit and International Water Summit, which will run from January 19 to 22 at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.

UVGERMI manufactures UV reactors for a wide range of applications in areas including drinking water, wastewater, water in public swimming pools, water in private swimming pools, rain water, air, surfaces, water in industrial process (agrifood, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, hotel business).

Its reactors provide an easy-to-implement solution in each of these areas, making it possible to address the different issues related to human health protection, using ultraviolet technology.

The GERMI R75 air purifier, designed to treat airborne contamination and chemical contamination of the air, will be the centre of its showcase at the event.

It acts on contaminants such as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), odours, viruses, bacteria and moulds.

It can be used in most environments including hospitals, offices and manufacturing plants.

The purifier uses a combination of photocatalysis and UV sterilisation. The ambient air is drawn through a fine filter that traps the volatile particles. It then passes through a fibre coated with a photocatalytic substrate made from titanium oxide.

Under the effect of the germicidal lamp the titanium oxide releases free radicals (OH), which are diffused in the area to be treated. These free radicals enable the immediate decomposition of the organic (VOCs) and micro-organic (bacteria, viruses, moulds) compounds by transforming them into basic molecules such as water and carbon dioxide. The action of the free radicals continues in the ambient air.

The second benefit of utilising a UV lamp is to use its germicidal power to increase the destruction of micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses and moulds). - TradeArabia News Service
