* uvgi: ultraviolet germicidal irradiation
uvgiHIT
uvgiHIT® is a project under development by HIT HEALTHY INDOOR TECHNOLOGY SLP that uses ultraviolet UVC energy in high intensity (a HIT); for the genetic inactivation of microorganisms in the air, without using retention filters or chemical diffusion. It is a patented system that protects people from high intensity ultraviolet radiation when applied to the air. It has a minimum space requirement and its protection capacity is permanent. It does not depend on additional particle retention filters or their periodic replacement.
Dual function air/surface alternative:
We also have a patent granted for an air and surface disinfection system based on UVC technology.
The air disinfection works continuously with the presence of people, and additionally without the presence of people, you can use the same UVC emitter for surface disinfection.
Actúa por energía, sistema físico, fotones.
Sin residuos; ni químicos, ni biológicos.
Inactiva los patógenos a nivel genético
Currently, devices with dual conventional intensity functionality are installed and operating in several locations in Burgos: the Tequipo offices, the Parralillos, San Pedro and San Felices senior citizen residences; the Civic Centre at La Estación, the San Amaro Polytechnic School, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Education, the Vena Polytechnic School, the Faculty of Chemical Sciences, the Faculty of Law, the Rector's Office and the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Aerosols are tiny particles of solids or liquids suspended in the air; they can disperse and spread over significant distances; and depending on their specific nature, they can alter industrial processes or cause diseases. There is a need and obligation to use aerosol treatment systems with guarantees of effectiveness, as well as to keep them in good condition.
There are four technological solutions to the problem of biological aerosols:

The most common solution is the

or natural ventilation, it is hoped that the air arriving is clean and that the air leaving is sufficiently diluted in the atmosphere before reaching another place, where it is also hoped that it will arrive clean.
It should be noted that the effectiveness of natural ventilation depends largely on the sun as an emitter in the ultraviolet spectrum., UVA and UVB, which have a lower germicidal range than UVC. Viruses, bacteria and fungi survive a few minutes if exposed to the sun in summer, several hours on a cloudy winter day, and in total darkness, they remain indefinitely until they are inactivated by other physical agents such as variations in humidity or temperature. Although there are several studies on the subject, it is considered appropriate to mention the one carried out by the "National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, Operated by Battelle National Biodefense Institute for the US Department of Homeland Security, Frederick, Maryland, USA" on July 15, 2020 entitled "Simulated Sunlight Rapidly Inactivates SARS-CoV-2 on Surfaces".
Solar radiation is one of the best biodefense tools against aerosols, but it is not always available, it varies greatly throughout the day, and in the case of areas with a high density of people or activities, it is not reliable.

A substantial improvement is the so-called solution
MECHANICS; consists of passing air through a perforated surface, a filter, similar to a mask or a strainer (HEPA, MERV, etc.), and thus retaining microorganisms that are larger than said perforations. The problem is that the smaller ones, usually viruses, do pass through, and those that are retained are active, which implies a risk of diffusion in the event of breakage. To avoid this risk, they must be changed periodically; this procedure involves handling material with biological risk, since the operator, the environment and the device can be contaminated.

based on the dispersion of products in the air, but cannot be used in the presence of people and food, since they are as aggressive for microorganisms as for people. In addition, they leave residues after use on surfaces and in aerosol form. They are usually eliminated by diffusion through natural ventilation, becoming atmospheric pollutants, with a negative impact on the environment.

PHYSICS:
ultraviolet light energy with a preferred wavelength of the UVC type, which only exists naturally in the upper layers of the atmosphere. To date, all viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens have lost their ability to replicate, inside or outside the human body, after being exposed to it. There are numerous studies that attest to this usefulness, one of the most important being that of Jensen MM. from 1964. Inactivation of airborne viruses by ultraviolet irradiation. Appl. Microbiol. 12:418–420.
uvgiHIT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF BIOLOGICAL AEROSOLS
Larga duración, sin mantenimiento en años
Ajustable al espacio disponible o a los conductos existentes
Tecnología exclusiva protegida por la legislación de patentes
Light radiation is one of the best biodefense tools against aerosols and is not a new discovery; but it has been little used because it presents implementation problems. Based on this UVC technology, we develop devices capable of eliminating the most dangerous aerosols.
