AIR CLEANING WITHOUT BARRIERS

Geachte,

Bedankt voor uw interesse in Genano Benelux.

Genano Benelux kent als missie „Luchtzuivering zonder Barrières“.

Wat doen we? Naarmate de intensiteit van luchtzuivering toeneemt, neemt het energieverbruik exponentieel toe. Dit stelt een dilemma naar de gebruiker/eigenaar van zulke luchtzuiveringssystemen: zuiver ik meer en betaal ik meer energiekosten? Of, zuiver ik minder, maar schaad ik daarmee potentieel de gezondheid van mij(n werknemers)? Deze barrière of dit dilemma wordt doorbroken door Genano Benelux

Hoe doen we dat? We gebruiken innovatieve technologie, zoals ionisatie, om de lucht te zuiveren, zelfs tot op nanometer-schaal, maar verbruiken toch slechts de energie vergelijkbaar met een klassieke spaarlamp.

Waarom doe we dat zo? Op deze manier breken we door de barrière die zo typisch is voor klassieke fan/filter units (FFU). Zij kennen een hoge drukval (weerstand), eigen aan hun technologie, daar waar wij onze effectiviteit verhogen zonder verhoging van energie-consumptie.

Met belangrijke referenties in zowel de medische als de industriële sector, samen met een permanente innovatie als wezenlijk onderdeel van de bedrijfsstrategie van Genano Benelux, groeide Genano Benelux snel uit tot een toonaangevend bedrijf in luchtkwaliteit.

Als jong en dynamisch bedrijf, kan u ons ook gemakkelijk volgen via sociale media.

We hopen dat we in de toekomst ook u kunnen helpen met het verbeteren van uw luchtkwaliteit.

Hoogachtend,

Ir. Seppe ThysManaging DirectorGenano Benelux

Dear,

Thank you for your interest in Genano Benelux.

The mission statement of Genano Benelux is „Air Purification without Barriers“.

What do we do? As the intensity of air purification increases, the energy consumption increases exponential. This poses a dilemma for the user/owner of such air purification systems: do I purify more and pay more energy costs? Or, do I purify less, but potentially hamper the health of my employees? This barrier or dilemma is demolished by Genano Benelux.

How do we do this? We use innovative technologies, such as ionization, to purify the air even at nano-level impurities but with the energy consumption of a classic energy saving bulb.

Why do we do it this way? This way we break through the barrier which is so typical for the classical filter/ventilator units (FFU). They introduce huge pressure drops due to their technology, whereas we increase our effectiveness without energy consumption increase.

With important references in as well the medical as the industrial sector, together with the permanent innovation, part of the business strategy of Genano Benelux, Genano Benelux quickly grew as one of the leading companies in the field of air quality.

As a young company, you can also easily follow us on social media.

We hope we can help you in the future in improving your air quality.

Yours sincerely,

Ir. Seppe ThysManaging DirectorGenano Benelux

dust (μm); ultrafine particles (nm); microbiological contamination (virus, bacteria, moulds, yeasts, pollen) and gases and odors.

The GenanoTube® can be regarded as a revolution in air purificationtechnology. This is because it reaches H11 filtration efficiency according to

EN 1822 whilst only generating a pressure drop of 20% or less of the normalpressure drop of an absolute filter.

The GenanoTube® is an air purification device, based on a unique and patentedtechnology. With this unique technology even the smallest impurities can befiltered out of the air. Organic particles like virus, bacteria, prions, spores andanimal substances as well as inorganic particles like soot, originating from thetraffic can be eliminated. The latter are ultrafine particles which are only recently recognized as a health risk, since they penetrate easily by means of the respiratory system into the vascular system.

After renovation works, hospital staff noticed an increase in mould in the air.

After renovation works, the room was cleaned, and during 1-2 hours, a GENANO 310 was installed in that room (graph indicated by “MFI”). This result was compared to a room where no air treatment was done (graph indicated by “traditioneel”).

This resulted in room where the air was cleaned in a clean air room, ready to welcome new patients.

Five GenanoTubes were installed in the Cobalt Production site of Umicore in Olen, Belgium. These GenanoTubes were equipped with special end pieces, in order to permit higher airflows. Particles [measurments done on 10-1 up to 10 µm – sizes] are being purified with efficiencies up to 79%.

The influence of the GenanoTubes on the air quality in the whole of the production hall tends to result in a reduction of the total dust concentration [µg/m³] of ca. 35%. , Given the limited installed capacity [air changes per hour < 1], this is a significant result.

This result, together with the low energy use of the GenanoTubes compared to fiber filters, is an example of another sustainable solution, introduced by Umicore.
