Morning all,

Here’s another (perhaps crazy) idea.  When I was looking for filtration options, I came across their links for UV-C products (https://www.filtechinc.com/products/UV%20PRODUCTS.aspx) used in ventilation systems and I know there was a previous thread on this basic idea.

Not sure who on the team has the best knowledge of UV-C or, the science behind how long it takes for a combination of time and exposure to eliminate the virus (I’ve asked someone I know to look into this) BUT:

Would it be possible, using an idea like was floated earlier to create a sort of “pizza oven” flow system with a concentration of UV-C elements and bombard the masks (etc.) for a reasonable period of time (trying to figure out t) to eliminate contamination?  Maybe it’s a combination of (low tech) sterilization methods that’d do the trick using the same flow idea?

Thoughts?
