International challenge to develop a new reusable and efficient face mask against the COVID-19


IST (UK) offers Steribase UV


clean air solutions for a safer workplace I


ndustrial companies and businesses seeking to make their workplace safer during the current COVID-19 crisis should consider installing a Steribase air cleaning system now


being provided by IST METZ in co-operation with Virobuster®. By reducing micro- organisms in the air, infection risk is greatly reduced. The Steribase systems feature patented UVPE (Ultraviolet Pathogenic Elimination) for air


disinfection. They deactivate micro-organisms harmful to humans, the environment and food. The Steribase 300 Plus (£5,020) is a mobile unit that is ideal for medical applications


but the wall mounted Steribase Wall 150 Basic B114 (£3,575) is well suited to industrial and business environments. The units are simple to install and quick to commission and offer a high clean air delivery rate. Having clean air protects staff and visitors and works well as part of an overall hygiene


policy in the current COVID-19 crisis. Companies should also encourage good disciplines with hand washing, clean surfaces, clean tools, clean clothing and clean water.

nnomotive launched an online competition to ideate new reusable mask models that help people breathe in their effort-intensive jobs.Although there are available masks


with different levels of protection according to their filtration characteristics, these are very uncomfortable to wear since they make breathing difficult and are too warm. Besides, they do not offer complete protection since the virus is very small. Another problem is that most of the masks are disposable, which generates a great


amount of waste. The reason is that the material of the masks (nonwoven fabric) cannot be disinfected at 60ºC for 30 minutes since it negatively affects the mask fitting. The ennomotive challenge aims to find new more efficient and reusable face masks


that comply with the specifications of the N95, FFP2, or FFP3 models. They need to be efficient against the COVID-19 and helpful for effort-intensive jobs. This online challenge is open worldwide to any professional, student or Academia


from different industries and technical backgrounds that want to propose a solution for this challenge. Ennomotive offers 16,000 EUR for the building of prototypes of the best solutions and


a cash prize for the winner. Moreover, if the solution is patentable, the winner will keep 30% of the patent rights. Interested participants should sign up at www.ennomotive.com and submit their solution before the 9th of June.

The company’s fabrication department have been working round the clock to build and despatch medical gas dryers for a number of new NHS Nightingale and existing hospitals, supplying equipment against stringent deadlines. As key workers in the crisis, their service department is remaining open to support the NHS and customers in essential industries such as medical, healthcare and food manufacturing. Hi-line Industries, founded in 2000, has established an

enviable reputation in energy-efficient air/gas purification equipment. The ISO9001-certified company, which is a member of the British Compressed Air Society, is based in Burton-upon-Trent and supports the ‘Made in Britain’ campaign. Solutions from Hi-line, including critical medical gas equipment, are designed and built to the highest quality standards, and backed by a five-year warranty. These factors proved pivotal in the company’s


selection to help combat the current pandemic. For instance, at the new 500-bed Birmingham Nightingale Hospital, Hi-line has supplied critical nitrogen generators and medical gas dryers.


i-line Industries, the UK’s leading designer, manufacturer and installer of air/gas dryers and


The company’s medical gas dryers are built as duplex


units, so that in the extremely unlikely case of failure, a second dryer comes on stream. Such failsafe operation is paramount in medical industry applications, where any issues can potentially be a matter of life and death. Furthermore, every medical gas dryer manufactured by Hi-line features dewpoint control at all load levels to deliver continuous dry gas performance, unlike thermal/chilled mass dryers. The Birmingham Nightingale Hospital, which is located


at the National Exhibition Centre, is one of seven Nightingale hospitals being set up around the country as part of a massive NHS effort to respond to the biggest global health emergency since the Spanish Flu pandemic over a century ago (1918-19). Hi-line’s expertise has also been of paramount


importance at the St Thomas’ Hospital in Lambeth. Supplying the facility that recently treated Prime Minister Boris Johnson in his fight against the virus, Hi-line has

provided both sterile medical air dryers and standard air dryers. This same combination has also been supplied to the new Nightingale Hospital North West, a 1000-bed facility located at Manchester’s Central Conference Centre (formerly known as G-MEX), and the new Nightingale Hospital North East, which houses 460 beds at the Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing (CESAM) in Washington. In all cases, Hi-line’s dedicated fabrication team has been


working night and day to provide the necessary equipment in time for the opening of each Nightingale Hospital. The company’s service and main reception numbers, as well as the mobile numbers of key staff, have remained available throughout the crisis to support the NHS.
