When Novatron was awarded a contract from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), they researched and developed new tools to protect facilities and individuals against biological warfare agents. The technology that was developed also has commercial applications.
Air Purification and Air Borne Pathogens
People around the world work in air conditioned office buildings. Air conditioning usually provides them with a healthy and pleasant working environment, but on occasions the system that filters and cleans the air flowing through the air conditioning fails to work correctly, and pathogens (disease causing micro organisms) enter the air and produce disease.
UV Air Purification Systems
Ultra violet "light" rays have been used for many years against microorganisms. When they are used in certain environments, such as in forced airflow systems like air conditioning units, the rays irradiate the air and kill microorganisms.
Biological Warfare as a Constant Threat to Security
Biological warfare is an ever-present concern for defense personnel and governments around the world. Also known as germ warfare, disease causing bacteria and viruses are used to deliberately bring harm or to kill humans, plants and animals. Sophisticated means of spreading the organisms have been developed, creating a very real potential for death on a massive scale. With the increasing risk of such terror attacks, the need for effective UV Air Treatment systems has become increasingly important in the war against terror.
UV Technology and Biological Warfare
Using and building on existing UV technology, Novatron, Inc. has developed an advanced approach to UV air sterilization systems that is 1000 times more powerful than existing UV technologies. The intensity of the UV and the relatively low levels of electrical power required to produce the extreme UV intensity, makes the system very attractive.
The technology can be installed into a building where it sterilizes the air flowing in the buildings air ducts. Tests have demonstrated that using such technology, any airborne biological threats are immediately and effectively eliminated.
UV Technology as a Powerful Air Treatment Tool
The advanced technology provides important protection for government and defense facilities. The technology can be installed in small or larger buildings and is guaranteed to work effectively against all biological contaminants, even those resistant to normal UV technology. Advanced UV BioProtector Units are also being introduced into pharmaceutical and biomanufacturing facilities and laboratories.
