Step 1 – UV Radiation

High intensity germicidal UVC irradiation and additional bands of the UV spectrum are used to dissociate bonds within the DNA of airborne microorganisms. This first step prevents them from further replicating.

Step 2 – Plasma Gas

A powerful sterilizing plasma gas in the unit chamber attacks bio-particles as they flow through the system and rapidly begins breaking the carbon bonds forming their cellular matter. This plasma gas includes singlet oxygen, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and three oxyradicals: hydroxyl radicals, the atomic oxygen radical, and hydroperoxide radicals.

Step 3 – Concentrated Ozone

Ozone and hydrogen peroxide molecules exit the unit into the space being treated and continue working for 30-45 minutes before decaying harmlessly back to the natural elements. The system produces ozone, called purified trivalent oxygen, which contributes to oxidization inside and outside the chamber.

Step 4 – Production of Hydroxyl Radicals

Nanoparticles convert water vapor in the air or feed gas into more hydroxyl radicals. These radicals break up organic matter in order to generate more radicals.

Step 5 – HEPA Filtration

Certified HEPA filters capture the largest particles flowing through the system, leaving the smallest particles to eradication by the conversion process.
