SpaceUV Systems, based in Nashik, Maharashtra, India, a 2024 IUVA Americas RadLaunch awardee, has developed a line of upper-air UVGI systems designed to integrate seamlessly with existing HVAC infrastructure. The technology efficiently neutralizes airborne pathogens by rapidly damaging their DNA and RNA. Based on proven upper-room UVGI systems (recommended by US-CDC, ASHRAE and NIOSH), the products are suitable for healthcare environments, academic settings, business offices and other public spaces where additional air purification is needed. The SpaceUV team, with graduates from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, leverages advanced multi-physics non-imaging optical and airflow simulations to optimize the designs. UV Solutions talked with SpaceUV founder and simulation engineer Shreeneet Rathi to understand the core innovations of these new systems. Read More
