Why is Air Sanitation Important?

With the average adult breathing in 15,000 litres of air every day, it's no secret that the need for clean air is vital to our health.


However, research by organisations such as the Green Action Centre has gone on to show that “air pollution is one of the most significant environmental challenges that affect public health across the world.” 


With the increase in the burning of fossil fuels for things such as generating electricity or powering cars, combined with the unsafe nature of COVID-19, a greater concern for cleaner, more sanitary air has emerged. Especially following the studies and debates that have gone to show that keeping indoor air cleaner can reduces the chance of spreading coronavirus.


Now, especially for businesses, commercial occupancy of spaces and even homes, the quality of air has become an important factor to look out for. 


But how does one ‘sanitise’ the air in their space? 


Madison IAQ explains the process of sanitising air, which can be accomplished through Ultraviolet Germicidal light, Ozone oxidation, or chemical cleansing such as chlorine, to name a few, as “essentially rendering microbes such as viruses, fungi, and bacteria harmless.”

However, bigger and/or commercial spaces, that generate mass quantities of odours such as in high-rise apartment garbage chutes, garbage compactor systems, garbage bin collection areas, grease trap rooms, wastewater rooms, wet food waste areas etc, may require larger scale odour control technologies

This is where PuraAir provides you with the most efficient solution with their UVC Series 1000.


PuraAir is known for its state-of-the-art commercial odour control systems that destroy airborne bacteria and viruses which cause odours, ensuring a safe and healthy environment. With an ethos of delivering high-quality products that solve all your air quality requirements, PuraAir has high standards of integrity, expertise, and efficient service.


The UVC Series 1000 is PuraAir’s best quality high-performance commercial odour control system. It eliminates unwanted odours and destroys bacteria and viruses by utilising an ultraviolet ray UVC germicidal lamp using UV Lamp ozone generating technologies. Odour control systems as such are guaranteed for a continuous long working life of 9000-12000 hours, with the machine working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, keeping your air clean for around 500 days! Additionally, the lamps are powered by a smart digital ballast with a pre-heat function extending the life of these components.


Through a process called irradiation, PuraAir’s air sanitation process filters airborne dust through active carbon filters as it draws in unwanted odours from areas under treatment. These odours then enter the UVC germicidal light chamber where the odour control process begins. 


The micro-organisms subsequently come in contact with the UVC germicidal light wave, changing their DNA and destroying them and eliminating the smell. This method has been shown in laboratory environments to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms and thus to be able to inactivate viral, bacterial, and fungal organisms.


The advanced stage of this air sanitation process lies in the production of ozone (O3) by UV light waves, distributed by a high flow air distribution system to the area that needs to be treated. For example, in a high-rise garbage chute application, the ozone O3 is delivered into the garbage chute and bin where the odour originates; here the building’s garbage chute’s natural updraft carries ozone O3 from the bottom to the top destroying bacteria and viruses. Therefore, eliminating and preventing the unwanted odours from entering the building’s residential or common areas to provide a sanitised environment.


With no ongoing chemicals or storage costs, and a 100% Australian garbage odour eliminator design, worldwide approvals for use on food (FDA), design rights approved technology and incorporated ACC (Adaptive Command Controls), the UVC Series 1000 provides a healthier environment for you, your guests and customers.


When you invest in the UVC Series 1000 you can be sure to receive the best quality product, one that harbours all the 8 must-have features for your commercial odour control system, ranging from bacteria, virus, mould and fungal spore control.

The chemical-free, high flow distribution system is low maintenance but high in its UV lamp quality making it energy efficient and quiet while operating.

Grease traps are essential for any commercial kitchen or food service business, but without proper maintenance, they can quickly become a source of unpleasant, lingering odours. These smells are typically caused by the buildup of fats, oils, and grease (commonly referred to as FOG), and if not addressed, they can become more than just a nuisance — they can pose a health hazard and damage your brand's reputation. 5 Ways to Control Grease Trap Odours 1. Clean the Grease Trap Regularly Routine cleaning is the first and most crucial step. Depending on your usage, schedule a thorough cleaning at least once a month. Heavy-use kitchens may require more frequent cleanings to prevent FOG buildup and control odours. 2. Use Hot Water and Degreaser Flushing the grease trap with hot water and a strong degreaser breaks down stubborn grease layers and kills odour-causing bacteria. This should be part of your deep-cleaning routine. 3. Add Bacteria-Based Cleaners These biological treatments introduce safe, effective bacteria that actively break down FOG and neutralise smells. They’re eco-friendly and a smart way to maintain grease traps between physical cleanings. 4. Check the Venting System Improper or blocked venting can cause odours to escape into your kitchen or dining area. Ensure your grease trap is properly ventilated to direct odours safely away from customer-facing areas. 5. Install an Odour Control System Odours often persist when all the above measures are taken this is why PuraAir has so many contracts all around Australia to effectively neutralise odours in grease traps. It may be time to upgrade your odour control strategy – and PuraAir has the experience and expertise to tailor a solution to your needs.
