MUVGI-8 for disinfection and sterilization is a special type of equipment where the sole focus is the ultraviolet lamp that are installed in a circular design to ensure, as much as possible, the reach of radiation and UV waves to all surfaces in all directions, within the space of application. The feature of an ultraviolet sterilizer is being able to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses without the need of adding any foreign chemical at the surfaces for this purpose. How does it work? Ultraviolet lamps produce ultraviolet light, which is part of the light spectrum. Even under the ultraviolet spectrum there exists different bands of ultraviolet and the one that is used by ultraviolet lamps is under UV-C. UV-C is considered to be the germicidal range (200 – 280nm) meaning it is capable of inactivating germs/protozoa etc. How will this help? Thalheimer’s unit MUVGI-8 utilises the short wavelength of UV that is harmful to forms of life at the micro-organic level. It is effective in destroying the nucleic acids in these organisms so that their DNA is disrupted by the UV radiation. This removes their reproductive capabilities and kills them. The wavelength of UV that causes this effect is rare on Earth as its atmosphere blocks it. Using a MUVGI-8 unit in certain environments creates a deadly effect on microorganisms such as pathogens, viruses and moulds that are in these environments. A separate problem that will affect the performance of the MUVGI-8 is dust or other film coating the bulb, which can lower UV output; therefore, bulbs require annual replacement and scheduled cleaning to ensure effectiveness.
