UVC-LED as water treatment unit

As we collectively embark on a new quest to make air travel healthier for our passengers, with efforts to maintain a sterile cabin, social distancing on flights, and increased screening of passengers for potential symptoms, a key component to include in our risk assessment is Potable Water.

Be it at Airport water fountains, water used on-board for coffee, or water served to passengers to keep them hydrated, it is imperative that we be cognizant that water must be treated at the Point Of Use (POU), as it is the last contact point right before consumption.

UV-C radiations from LEDs at a wavelength of 260-270 nm impact water and work as a treatment for the precious liquid.

Introducing, the IWG Passenger Water Dispenser (PWD) aimed as a water treatment unit at touch points while keeping passengers hydrated and safe.
