Innovative Technologies Keep Schools Open Aguair’s Sanitization Solutions Help Students Stay in the Classroom Teachers, parents, and students are dreaming of the day when classrooms can stay open safely without the fear of the pandemic. To help make this a reality, educational institutions are searching for innovative technologies and turning to unconventional disinfection solutions. Georgia-based Aguair LLC manufactures several systems that are perfect for continuous whole-school sanitization. “With SaniCart™, you roll in the machine and completely sanitize everything in the room in just 20 minutes. The science behind the fogging machine gets the disinfectant on every surface… We initially had a whole layer of staff disinfecting, now we just have one person working the SaniCart™,” says Mike Wurm, the Executive Director of Boys and Girls Club locations where SaniCart™ is being used. When the pandemic began, the staff of Boys and Girls Club centers would bleach down all surfaces in their daycare centers every two hours. Furthermore, he’s noticed that “because of the dry-fog, we are no longer worried about electronics getting wet in our computer labs when we sanitize.” SaniCart™ is one of many revolutionary sanitization technologies from Aguair. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Aguair’s engineering team envisioned how their equipment for the perishable foods industries could help other facilities operate safely. Aguair’s SaniCart™ and ClensAir™ systems, originally designed to disinfect large greenhouses, processing plants, and storage facilities, are now being brought into medical facilities, office buildings, government spaces, grocery stores, movie theaters and studios, and especially classrooms. The SaniCart™ is a mobile, micro-fogger that is compatible with several disinfectants for air and surface sanitization. It emits a dry fog that disinfects even hard-to-reach surfaces. The SaniCart™ provides the benefits of traditional electrostatic spraying without the need to wipe down and is available as a rolling cart and a backpack model. “The convenience aspect of SaniCart™ is huge,” says Harman Bains of the Lyon County School District. This Nevada school district is one of the numerous districts with Aguair’s sanitization equipment. The ease of the SaniCart™ design lets the custodial team roll the unit throughout the buildings to sanitize air and surfaces with a dry micro-fog. Since the surfaces do not need to be wiped down after being fogged, the whole school is sanitized in no time. Many school districts have purchased ClensAir™ air purifiers for each of their nurse’s offices. The system provides the most efficient airflow and pathogen inactivation in indoor spaces. “We placed ClensAir™ above doors to keep the air clean, as kids who might not be feeling well come in and out of the nurse’s offices,” adds Harman. School districts around the country are looking to equip each classroom with a ClensAir™ unit. This could prevent the airborne spread of bacteria and vi- With SaniCart™, you roll in the machine and completely sanitize everything in the room in just 20 minutes.

Mike Wurm, Executive Director of Boys and Girls Club ruses and help keep teachers and students stay safe, thereby ensuring that schools are able to remain open. The SaniCart™ and ClensAir™ systems have been instrumental in helping the Lyons County School System through this challenging time. Since the schools operate on a tight budget, Bains thanks a local foundation for providing the necessary funding. “The foundation’s generosity will not only help fight this pandemic in our schools today but will continue to make a positive impact on our students’ lives for years and even decades to come.” Aguair is pleased to play a part in helping schools, medical offices, government spaces, retailers, and other industries continue to function safely. Aguair’s engineering team is constantly innovating so everyone can return to a sense of normalcy, safely. The ClensAir™ and SaniCart™ systems are two innovative solutions to this complex problem. ClensAir™ is an air purifying system that uses a six-stage air sanitization process including technology that was developed for NASA. The unit consists of specialized filters, ultraviolet and photocatalytic lamps, and a surface decontaminant. Independent lab tests have shown ClensAir™ to be more than 99.98% effective in removing viruses and bacteria. complete surface and air sanitization | www.aguair.com
