Poor air quality in ships creates allergy related problems including skin rash, frequent influenza and asthma. To eliminate the high risk of infection and allergens, the air conditioning needs to be maintained on a regular basis.
Sextant Marine Consulting provides innovative and effective solutions for the cleaning and sanitation of HVAC systems. Prior to the commencement of the cleaning work, the HVAC system ducts are visually inspected with fiber optic bore scopes and cameras.
Preliminary inspection allows determining whether the system is contaminated with a significant accumulation of particulate or if HVAC performance is compromised due to contamination buildup.
Upon request, sampling of lint and particulate will be taken for fungal an bacteriological analysis. Vacuuming, using ventilators with HEPA filtration that ensures 99.97% collection efficiency, collects lint & particulate.
After the cleaning the whole system is sanitized. Existing service openings already installed in the HVAC system are used where possible to perform the cleaning.Additional openings shall be created where needed in accordance with industry/company codes.
