SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates generally to a sterilization system, and more specifically, to a system and a method for controlling growth of microorganisms using blue and ultra-violet light.
BACKGROUND
Sterilization refers to any process that eliminates, removes, kills, or deactivates biological agents such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, prions, unicellular eukaryotic organisms such as Plasmodium, etc. present in a region, such as a surface, a volume of fluid, medication, or in a compound. Sterilization can be performed through various means including heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration. Typically, the sterilization is performed using an autoclave that supplies high-pressure saturated steam at 121 °C for a particular time period based on a size of a load in the autoclave, which is mainly used in medical applications.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization is mainly used to sterilize medical and pharmaceutical products. Gamma sterilization process uses Cobalt 60 radiation to kill microorganisms on a variety of different products. But, these above techniques are not suitable for sterilizing a space. Ultra-violet (UV) disinfection methods use appropriate wavelengths of ultra-violet light that can damage the body's microbial DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). Further, emission of ultra-violet light can cause damage to human eyes, and prolonged exposure can cause burns and skin cancer in humans.
