Return to work,
school demand high for clean air solutions as public health
officials caution Americans to prepare to live with COVID-19
virus.
Aggreko plc, today announced it has launched Aggreko Clean Air,
a multi-solution approach to quickly and cost-effectively address
air quality issues for facilities that must implement health and
safety measures in temporary or permanent structures where people
need to gather.
Formulated to help employers, community response teams and event
producers meet new air quality guidelines, Aggreko Clean Air
solutions builds on the company’s 30-plus years of specialized
experience and expertise. The international company provides
temporary, rental cooling, heating, power and dehumidification for
disaster response, industrial operations where air quality has high
consequences, and the world’s largest and most watched sporting,
music, political and leisure events.
In recent news interviews, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, Director of the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, cautioned
Americans that he believes “we will never eradicate the virus” but
can manage it with combined efforts, including proactive health and
safety measures. The Centers for Disease Control and ASHRAE, the
global society for HVAC air quality and sustainability, recently
issued health and safety guidelines for facilities managers to
improve the air quality in enclosures, including the need to:
- increase the percentage of outdoor air that circulates into the
cooling and ventilation system,
- increase ventilation rates, or “air changes” per hour, and
- introduce mechanical support for return air.
“Because Aggreko routinely mobilizes in urgent situations to
provide engineered solutions for air quality in some of the most
extreme conditions, we realized our expertise and experience could
make a meaningful difference in helping American businesses and
communities begin to function again with less fear of indoor air
contamination,” said Charley Royce, Managing Director for Aggreko
North America.
“There is no responsible DIY version of a COVID-response clean
air solution, so facilities owners and operators need reliable
solutions that can be implemented immediately without capital
investment – and that come with mechanical engineering expertise
and maintenance crew support they don’t have,” he explained.
Steve Birtch, business development manager for Aggreko
manufacturing, food and beverage and pharmaceutical clients, added:
“Facility managers who must respond to the new guidelines in
addition to the many other demands on them need proven expertise to
meet these air quality guidelines, especially since no
one-size-fits-all solution exists that’s appropriate for every
structure. A temporary tent for hospital beds, a university dining
hall, a pharmaceutical manufacturing site and a food processing
plant are all unique and complex operations. Each facility or tent
requires a custom solution that considers the function to occur in
that facility, existing systems that must integrate, site location,
duration of operation, ambient conditions, and the potential risks
involved if there’s a failure to manage air quality.
The Aggreko Clean Air solutions engineering teams include
trained technicians experienced in installing and maintaining
temporary air systems in a variety of settings and situations –
expertise facilities managers and staffs do not typically have
onsite.
“Clean air solutions involve more than plug-and-play,” explained
Gary Meador, Aggreko Director of Events, who leads teams to power,
heat and cool every aspect of many of the world’s largest events.
“Managing and maintaining many of these air filtering and scrubbing
solutions requires technicians well trained not only install, but
to prevent contamination or improper disposal of filters, parts and
supplies during maintenance. Plus, these clean air solutions need
the benefit of Aggreko’s remote monitoring to ensure any issues are
addressed and the systems are consistently performing as
intended.”
Response to Aggreko Clean Air solutions from the company’s
existing customers across the US has been overwhelmingly positive.
“We already have systems in place at university campuses and
pre-installation planning underway with customers in many
industries,” Royce said. “The need is great, and we have spent a
great deal of time making presentations to trade groups and clients
to help educate people on their options to comply with guidelines
and keep people safe.”
