Air application

Probiotic system care for HVAC and ventilation.

Probiotic bacteria can also be used in ventilation systems. Deposits in the ducts are positively influenced by the probiotic bacteria and do not develop new odours or new biofilm.

Start with the system.

Dust, moisture and organic residues can accumulate in HVAC and ventilation systems. Where odours or hygiene problems occur, the probiotic bacteria make the ventilation ducts biologically clean.

What are probiotics in air treatment?

Dosing establishes a majority of the selected probiotic bacteria on treated system surfaces. Probiotics replace maintenance that often has to be carried out in protective clothing. Colonisation of the surfaces prevents new odours and new sticky EPS biofilm. Maintenance is therefore much simpler.

How does it work?

01

Assessment

System condition, room use, product information and possible exposure are reviewed.

02

Application

The probiotic bacteria are drawn into the system through an ultrasonic nebuliser at the air inlet.

03

Regulation

The probiotic majority makes an organic, biological breakdown of EPS biofilm possible. No new odours form, and pathogenic organisms that can trigger allergies are suppressed by the probiotics.

04

Monitoring

Condition and effect are checked; maintenance and hygiene requirements remain part of operation.

Key points for assessment.

Product suitability

Review composition, application instructions and safety information for the intended use.

Odours

Identify the causes of odours and document any change during operation.

System hygiene

Integrate treatment with cleaning, inspection and the existing hygiene programme.

Maintenance

Compare cleaning effort and surface condition before and after application.

Environment and materials

Assess environmental statements and material compatibility using product-specific evidence.

Areas of application.

Suitability can be assessed for ventilation systems in offices, hotels, sports facilities and other buildings. Schools, care facilities, clinics and animal housing require particular consideration of hygiene requirements and possible exposure. Listing a setting is not blanket approval for use.
