Aerocare Aviation Services Ltd (AAS) have accessed new Far-UV Technology that will make a serious impact on mitigating the transmission of pathogens for almost EVERY facet of society. ln the light of the financial loses being incurred, the number of businesses lost, the impact on society of complete lock-downs, the market for this type of technology will be vast, and it's positive impact on society will be significant and immediate. The Excimer Wave Sterilray(Tm) (EWS) which we intend to adapt significantly reduces pathogens (a bacterium, virus or other microorganism that can muse disease) in our living space. It is our goal to make inhabited spaces safer by improving the environment to which people are exposed indoors by using a specific variant of UV waves known as Far-UV.UV waveforms are not new, as UV-C they have been used to sanitise for some years now. UV is capable of eliminating the world's most harmful bacteria, viruses, and spores. EWS photons rupture the sidewalls of bacteria and spores, keeping airborne pathogen concentrations below infectivity level - one fifth of a second is all it takes for Excimer Wave Sterilray{tm) photons to destroy harmful bacteria, viruses, and spores. With unmatched speed, convenience, effectiveness, and safety UV products are capable of changing the world of air and surface disinfection. But in addition our EWS Far-UV technology is unique in that it works without threat of damage to humans in the same space (both skin and eye safe) as demonstrated in medical testing.Our current range of products is aimed at supporting the safe movement of people in the aerospace industry. But the lamps are capable of sanitising large spaces, with applicability to airport terminals and travel hubs, hospitals, control centres, clinics, clean rooms, operating theatres, laboratories, offices, theatres, warehouses, ships. Indeed, any large open spaces where people work or converge.This Project will develop the system for use in large open spaces. We aim to develop the software and processes required to map spaces and ensure full and safe coverage of Far-UV output to ensure rapid, 24/7 non-chemical disinfection for large indoor spaces using Far-UV technologies. AAS will work with Derichebourg Engineering to combine Far-UV with modelling tools and skilled engineering consultancy, plus academics at Southampton and St Andrews Universities to model the precise output of the Far-UV lamps to populate the software models. The combination will then be applied in a real world scenario at GATWICK airport to provide a comprehensive solution to their staff search area to begin with, including actual lamps and ground sensors to assess the validity of the model vs real world results.

Aerocare航空服务有限公司（AAS）已经获得了新的远紫外线技术，这将对减轻几乎社会各个方面的病原体传播产生严重影响。鉴于所造成的经济损失，损失的企业数量，完全封锁对社会的影响，这种技术的市场将是巨大的，它对社会的积极影响将是显著和直接的。我们打算采用的准分子波Sterilray（Tm）（EWS）可显著减少我们生活空间中的病原体（细菌，病毒或其他可能引起疾病的微生物）。我们的目标是通过使用一种称为远紫外线的特定紫外线波来改善人们在室内暴露的环境，从而使居住空间更加安全。紫外线波形并不新鲜，因为UV-C已经被用于消毒多年。紫外线能够消除世界上最有害的细菌，病毒和孢子。EWS光子使细菌和孢子的侧壁破裂，使空气传播的病原体浓度低于传染性水平--准分子波Sterilray（TM）光子只需五分之一秒就能摧毁有害细菌、病毒和孢子。凭借无与伦比的速度、便利性、有效性和安全性，紫外线产品能够改变空气和表面消毒的世界。但除此之外，我们的EWS远紫外线技术的独特之处在于，它在医疗测试中证明，在同一空间内工作时不会对人体造成伤害（皮肤和眼睛都安全）。我们目前的产品系列旨在支持航空航天行业人员的安全移动。但这些灯能够对大空间进行消毒，适用于机场航站楼和旅游中心，医院，控制中心，诊所，洁净室，手术室，实验室，办公室，剧院，仓库，船舶。实际上，任何人们工作或聚集的大型开放空间。本项目将开发用于大型开放空间的系统。我们的目标是开发绘制空间所需的软件和流程，并确保远紫外线输出的全面和安全覆盖，以确保使用远紫外线技术对大型室内空间进行快速，24/7非化学消毒。AAS将与Derichebourg Engineering合作，将联合收割机远紫外线与建模工具和熟练的工程咨询结合起来，再加上南安普顿和圣安德鲁斯大学的学者，对远紫外线灯的精确输出进行建模，以填充软件模型。然后，该组合将在GATWICK机场的真实的世界场景中应用，以提供对其工作人员搜索区域的全面解决方案，包括实际的灯和地面传感器，以评估模型与真实的世界结果的有效性。
