Case Studies

Hospital Medical Wards

The Pure as Air system installed at Bankstown Hospital Intensive Care Ward since August 2007 and Medical Wards Level 1 & 2 since December 2005 is protecting these areas from unwanted microbial outbreaks and odours.

Libraries

The Pure as Air system installed at Gardiner Library at the John Hunter Hospital, Gordon Bradley Lowe Medical Library at the Royal Hospital for Women and Bankstown Hospital Library has demonstrated measurable improvements in air quality and a dramatic decrease in bacteria, mould and odours. In addition to creating a more pleasant environment for library users and staff, valuable medical texts and other library books are being protected from highly damaging mould contaminants.

Hospital Trials

The Pure as Air system was trialled in a hospital medical recovery wards and results showed a 42% reduction in mould and bacteria. The Ward Sister and nursing staff completed a written survey and commented on how much fresher the air smelt, observing a significant reduction in odours where other types of deodorisers had failed.

Hospitality Industry

Benefits have been noted in the hospitality industry, including Central Coast Leagues Club. These situations provided an especially heavy challenge to any air purification system.

Heavy concentrations of cigarette smoke in gaming areas, frequent alcohol and other spillages on carpets, coupled with offensive odours emanating from kitchens and sanitary systems have all been controlled using the Pure as Air system.

Office Administration

The Pure as Air system installed at Bankstown Hospital level 4, Office Administration treats approx. 5,200 sq. metres of floor area. The Physical Resources Dept. at Bankstown Hospital conducted an internal survey report, which the staff working in this area commented how fresh the air smells and the general feeling of wellbeing.

Pure as Air system installation for Stockland Properties at level 1 office in Miller Street; North Sydney following staff complaints of stale odours emanating from the food shops on the ground level. The odour control was evident immediately and had no further complaints since installation.

Laboratories

Since August 2003 a Pure as Air system was installed at AMS Laboratories of Rockdale NSW for the concerns of unwanted outbreaks of micro-organisms in the main laboratory area.

Food Industry

Further scientific evidence of the unit's effectiveness has come from within the food processing industry where the presence of unwanted yeasts and moulds can disrupt the production of foodstuffs. The most recent of these installations was at Sanitarium Health Foods at Berkeley Vale, Central Coast where significant decreases in mould, wild yeast and bacteria counts were recorded just two weeks after installing a Pure as Air system.

Trade Waste

One of the most tested senarios for Pure as Air system is whether Micro-Sol could combat the most putrid type of odour from a medical trade waste. At John Hunter Hospital putrid odours were eminating from the trade waste room causing unpleasant odours in the main air conditioning plant room and external areas to be drawn through the air intakes of air conditioning systems effecting rooms interiors. A trial was conducted with the logic in mind of controlling air borne bacteria should effectively control the odours produced  this resulted in a fix installation since November 2006.
