Modern Office Space (Mould & Bacteria)
Client: Office — Sydney | Sector: Commercial
Situation
An office in a modern building located in Sydney's northern suburbs, occupied as a workspace for approximately 20 people.
The air conditioning plant room that services this business is located within the office space. The concern is the lack of fresh air causing the air conditioning system to build up germ contamination and affect the wellness of employees.
The task of keeping an air handling environment clean is made difficult by the fact that micro-organisms can collect and grow in the ducting of an air conditioning system, therefore enabling the system itself to spread the micro-organism into the air.
Treatment
The client agreed to use SAN-AIR for one week in their office. Baseline readings "Before" were taken prior to introducing SAN-AIR into the air conditioning system.
Test Methodology
- 01Baseline mould and bacteria readings taken at 3 locations before treatment
- 02SAN-AIR introduced into the air conditioning system
- 03Follow-up readings taken after one week of treatment
- 04Both mould counts and bacteria counts measured separately at each location
Result
- 80–100% decrease in mould counts across all 3 locations
- Significant reduction in bacteria counts at all locations
- Before treatment readings showed bio-burden build up from previous maintenance
- SAN-AIR effectively cleaned microbial contamination in areas not accessible by physical means
Conclusion
Before treatment readings show that the previous maintenance regime left bio-burden build up in the air treated by the air conditioning system. After one week of SAN-AIR treatment, results show a decrease range of 80-100% in the level of airborne microbial contaminants. Readings show a significant reduction in mould and bacteria counts.
