By Rajul Randive, Crystal IS Due in large part to their ability to deliver reliable, maintenance-free performance for up to 10 years, UV-C LEDs increasingly are being found in today’s low-flow, point-of-use (POU) water disinfection systems. It’s not surprising then that design engineers are taking UV-C LEDs to the next level by putting them to work in significantly higher-flow … [Read more...] about Designing Larger Flow, Home/Industrial Point of Entry (POE) Water Treatment Systems With UV-C LEDs

The Brave New World of Engineered Infection Prevention (EIP)
By Barry Hunt, co-founder of the Coalition for Community and Healthcare Acquired Infection Reduction (CHAIR) Manually disinfecting a patient room once a day with chemicals to prevent Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) is like putting up an umbrella for five minutes in a hurricane and expecting not to get wet. For over 100 years, this has been the standard approach, but it … [Read more...] about The Brave New World of Engineered Infection Prevention (EIP)
