The current period towards new normal is undoubtedly a key moment, in which it is essential to adopt preventive measures to avoid possible outbreaks. Aware of this, the company Hydrens - consultant expert in computational fluid simulation (CFD) - and the Multiphase Fluids Group of the Universitat Jaume I have designed an innovative solution that enables to evaluate and improve the quality of closed spaces, with the main objective of mitigating COVID-19 contamination.

This solution makes it possible to analyse, adapt and improve the design and operation of ventilation and disinfection systems in public spaces with a high influx of people, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of separating elements such as methacrylate or polycarbonate screens, which are commonly used as a preventive measure against COVID-19. In this way, the solution will help to determine the best location of the disinfection systems according to their typology, as well as of the partitions, and to modify the ventilation currents to guarantee the quality and safety of the space.

Hydrodynamic and Environmental Services (Hydrens) is a new business unit of the company FACSA that aims to offer innovative technological solutions based on improving the behaviour of fluids to increase the performance of processes.

It is made up of former students from the Universitat Jaume I linked to the Multiphase Fluids Group and is a good example of the collaboration between the academic and business worlds, which also includes participation in FACSA's R&D Department.
