COVID-19: A device for disinfecting air and surfaces from pathogenic viruses and bacteria, primarily from COVID19 in crowded places

Ukrainian R&D company, established in 2016, is engaged in the development of new technologies in the field of ecology. The company employs scientists from various fields of science with experience in solving technical problems of varying complexity. A Ukrainian research company has developed a portable pulsed ultraviolet sterilizer installation for highly effective bactericidal treatment of air and surfaces from pathogenic viruses and bacteria, in crowded places, for enclosed spaces, vehicles, and other infrastructure facilities as well as on the street. Despite the allocated huge financial and human resources for disinfection using chemical reagents, it could not prevent the emergence of new waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. The whole world is in search of new, better disinfectants and ways to combat pathogens in crowded places. The developed pulsed ultraviolet sterilizer device (magneto-plasma generator) allows many times to reduce the sterilization time of objects and has very high efficiency. The technology does not cause any side effects for the environment, except for the creation of a negligible concentration of ozone in the atmosphere, which is an additional sterilizing factor. The generator emits "hard" ultraviolet light, which is the most harmful to microorganisms. The generator uses a powerful (from 3.6 million watts to 25 million watts in a split second) impulse impact mechanism of damage and destruction of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, which leads to their complete destruction or loss of reproductive capacity. The technology is applied without the presence of people due to the remote control of the device. One remote installation will replace the labor of tens and hundreds of people engaged in disinfection with conventional chemical agents. Scope of application: Places of mass gathering of people: - shopping centers; - objects of transport infrastructure (train cars, buses, trams, subways, airplanes, etc.,); - industrial enterprises, logistics centers, storage facilities; - catering facilities; - cultural facilities (closed stadiums and other sports facilities, theaters, cinemas, etc.). - offices, hairdressers, beauty salons, swimming pools, stadiums, gyms; - offices, educational and medical institutions - objects in the open air - stops; children's playgrounds, parks, etc. The company is interested in finding a strategic partner for the joint mass production and distribution of the magneto-plasma generator globally under a creating a joint venture in the EU. The company is also looking for partners in the certification of technology in the EU, as well as contacts with laboratories and institutes conducting research on technologies to combat viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens, primarily with the COVID-19 virus. The company is also looking for partners to conduct independent studies to confirm the declared indicators of the disinfecting capabilities of the technology with the possibility of wider application of the equipment. There is an option to sell intellectual property rights to an interested buyer under a license agreement.
