Helping during the pandemic

I've got a long-standing history with the fella who cobbled that thing together. Elwood Chisom came to work for us after the last crash closed down the furniture factory across town he'd worked at for 20-some. On top of being a master electrician, he was a genius at programming automation, so we were lucky to get him. We got to be buds pretty quick, because I'm not the kind to just write up a work order... I will at least try to fix something myself before screwing it up beyond hope, and calling in the real experts. So Woody wasn't too surprised when I called him up a few minutes after the guys delivered his latest invention to my building yesterday. I just imagined the worst in this day and time you know... this thing didn't come with an O&M manual, so naturally I had questions and I knew he had answers.

"...What do you mean it'll smell like burnt hair?! That can't be good. Well... okay, I guess if that means it burned something up... and you're sure this thing won't set the Water Plant on fire? Cause that'll be embarrassin' Wood... really embarrassin'. Think about the status report I'll have to file - set the Control Room on fire when... Yeah. Okay man. I dunno Chizz, sh*t still looks like something offa' Ghostbusters to me, but if you say so. Okay man, have a good weekend, see ya' in the funny papers... love, peace, and chicken-grease." I hung up feeling better. Woody's the man.

I think this is what Coz is alluding to. These are not your garden variety UV lamps. These are 254 nm bulbs, expressly used for disinfection/sterilization purposes. They will kill viruses and bacteria. And burn you to a crisp if you stayed in the room with them. Is it 100% effective, nope. Under ideal conditions- 99.9%. We'll probably get something less than that. The key to effectiveness of Ultraviolet disinfection is contact and time. The rays have to hit the surface you want disinfected.

Here's where they come from. https://www.aquaazul.com/
