The Madrid Medical Emergency Service (SUMMA 112) has acquired several portable Counterfog® units for disinfecting their ambulances and medical equipment.

Spanish technology Counterfog® has been chosen by the National Police to disinfect their police stations, cells, offices, patrol cars and vans, as well as juvenile centers.

Counterfog® was designed to collapse and disinfect airborne volatile agents, making it the most effective solution for decontaminating chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents, becoming the best alternative in the fight against COVID-19.

Counterfog SDR presents an innovative solution for rapid surface disinfection. This Spanish technology has been internationally recognized for its effectiveness in eliminating chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents.

Interview with José Luis Pérez Díaz, CEO of Counterfog and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alcalá. He explains how Counterfog technology works and the origin of the Technology-Based Company.

Large-scale disinfection is being carried out in Madrid to eliminate the coronavirus. It is not an easy task when performed in museums housing extremely valuable works of art (in this case at the Royal Academy of History, Madrid, Spain).

Counterfog® technology, backed by a European Commission-funded project, generates a fog spiral with numerous droplets smaller than a micron -the size of viruses- capable of dragging, trapping, aggregating and decontaminating biological agents.

This crisis has brought new challenges in decontamination and cleaning. Classic solutions don't seem to be enough. That's why at Grupo SHERCO we have opted for European technology that has proven in various laboratory tests to be the most effective.

Chief Commissioner José García Molina, Deputy General Director of Logistics and Innovation of the National Police, mentions the collaboration with the University of Alcalá in adapting water cannon trucks into disinfection units using Counterfog technology.

Designed to intervene in situations where safety is at risk, Counterfog® uses a nozzle supplied with compressed air, drinking water and a disinfectant, with which it forms a cone of fog with a very particular dynamic capable of capturing and disinfecting contaminants.

Interview with José Luis Pérez Díaz, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alcalá: Counterfog eliminates small polluting particles using only water and air.

The University of Alcalá de Henares has devised Counterfog, a system to fight pollution or chemical attacks. The master's director explains that it is a very simple system composed of a kind of fog.

The UME trusts in the extra security that this system would bring to operations in large areas such as shopping centers, alerts in nuclear power plants, petrochemicals, or any type of spore or bacteria spread in the environment, such as anthrax.

The project has been developed with funding from the European Commission's FP7 by a consortium of universities, research centers and companies led by the University of Alcalá and has also been awarded by the Madri+d awards in 2018.

A team of researchers from the University of Alcalá de Henares, led by Professor José Luis Pérez Díaz, has created Counterfog, the first system to fight against any type of dangerous or harmful substance that could be dispersed in the air.

The Military Emergency Unit (UME) has presented the new Counterfog technology, a project developed by researchers from the University of Alcalá that aims to provide a fast, clean and effective response in emergency situations.

The system consists of one or more nozzles attached to a pipe or column that spread a fog jet with liquid droplets the size of microns, which collide with harmful air particles, aggregate them and drop or adhere them to surfaces.
