Air application

Probiotic system care for HVAC and ventilation.

An approach to organic residues inside the system. Application, effectiveness and safety must be assessed for the product, the installation and the use of the occupied spaces.

An air-handling plant room with ventilation ducts and accessible HVAC equipment.

Start with the system.

Dust, moisture and organic residues can accumulate in HVAC and ventilation systems. Odour or hygiene problems call for an assessment of their causes and the system’s condition. Cleaning, maintenance and any additional treatment need to be coordinated.

What are probiotics in air treatment?

Dosing is intended to establish a majority of the selected probiotic bacteria on treated system surfaces. They compete with existing bacteria for food and living space, using organic residues as nutrients. Application follows the product information and system assessment. Aerosol-producing applications require a safety and exposure assessment.

How does it work?

01

Assessment

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

02

Application

Application follows the assessed treatment plan and the specified protective measures.

03

Competition & regulation

The probiotic majority competes for food and space. The aim is to limit unwanted growth and allow the selected strains to break down organic residues.

04

Monitoring

System condition and treatment outcomes are reviewed; 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.
