From aerodynamics to sterilization
In April 2020, CEO of AED Group Glenn Roggeman launched the first UVC luminaires under AED’s private label Luxibel. The Mid-Air Disinfection System was then further developed for use in larger public spaces using Roggeman’s knowledge of aerodynamics from his training as a helicopter pilot. “The air exhaled by visitors is sucked upwards by the aerodynamically patented system. Microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses are then neutralized, after which germ-free air is blown back into the room,” Roggeman comments.
