Case Study: CS015
Boat Marina (Marine Mould Control)
Client: SAN-AIR Distributor's Boat Client | Sector: Marine
Situation
A boat was found with elevated mold contamination. There was a desire to remediate the musty smell and the airborne count of germs in an attempt to reduce airborne microbial counts to make the boat accessible for further physical cleaning of internal surfaces.
The requirement was to return the cabin to S520 Condition 1 using Gel, an evaporative product which behaves as a biostatic agent, with a safe natural blend of actives.
Treatment
Initial reading of the indoor space taken as a baseline. Immediately after the baseline reading was taken, gel containers (75g) were opened in the space needing to be controlled.
Test Methodology
- 01External consulting laboratory engaged for independent sampling and reporting
- 02Boat tested without gel (baseline), then at 2 days and 30 days after gel installation
- 03Results reported as total mould count, many species recorded as present
- 04Treatment period: 30 days
- 05Outdoor reading also taken at 30 days for comparison (7,100 spores)
Result
- Initial reading: 28,000 mould spores
- 2 days: reduced to 10,000 spores (64% reduction)
- 30 days: reduced to 880 spores (97% reduction)
- Outdoor reading at 30 days was 7,100. Boat interior was cleaner than outdoors
Conclusion
The Boat interior had been returned to S520 Condition 1: Normal Fungal Ecology for Indoor Environment.
