Cooking often takes place around the clock in the mostly small, low galleys. The grease in the exhaust air collects in hoods and ducts, where it represents a considerable fire load.

UV ozone systems reduce the grease and odor input to a fraction. The air ducts remain clean and rarely require maintenance.

Many people in a confined space constantly need fresh air to breathe – air that has to be heated or air-conditioned using a lot of energy. Valuable energy is lost with every air change.

oxytec keeps the air clean and germ-free for a long time with low energy consumption. Not only to save energy, but also as a significant contribution to health on board.

According to a study by the See-Berufsgenossenschaft, 50% of all illnesses at sea come from the respiratory tract. Viruses are a danger that can hardly be underestimated for the indispensable crew as well as for the passengers and the reputation of the shipping company.

According to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute, oxytec UV-C air purification systems eliminate more than 99% of the viral load in a single pass through the purification system.

Odors are particularly unpleasant in the confined spaces on board, regardless of whether they are nicotine, kitchen odors, the smell from grey water and waste rooms or residues in the air ducts. In addition to germs, all oxytec UV-C systems also eliminate all other organic contamination such as allergens and odors. Even the drinking water in the tanks or the pool water on board can be kept germ-free with UV-C technology from oxytec.
