Posts Tagged ‘Ethylene Gas Scrubbers’

As a business that handles produce, a whiff of decay in your walk-in, storage warehouse, or transport truck is the smell of money drifting away into thin air. When produce idles in one place for any amount of time, a colorless and odorless gas starts to collect – ethylene gas. In your warehouse, it can mean the kiss of death – overripening otherwise salable fruits and vegetables.

But is spoilage of overripe produce just another of the postharvest losses that growers, transporters, and warehousers have to live with and manage? No! There’s a selection of air purifiers that work as the perfect ethylene gas scrubbers, and they can provide a whole list of other benefits for products and employees in your facility. Read on to discover Airocide air purification.

Powerful Ethylene Gas Scrubbers

Airocide air purifiers use photocatalytic oxidation technology (or PCO) – a NASA-developed technology for eliminating unwanted organic particles from the air without releasing any dangerous emissions. Ethylene is an unstable organic gas, otherwise known as a volatile organic compound or VOC. When airborne VOCs like ethylene enter the chamber of an Airocide unit, a powerful PCO catalyst destabilizes and destroys them. All that circulates out of an Airocide unit is pure air, completely scrubbed of ethylene gas and other VOCs – slowing ripening inside your facility and protecting your produce and profits.

Air Purification for Your Whole Business

But, the entire family of Airocide air purifiers are much more than ethylene gas scrubbers. They provide comprehensive commercial air purification that defends products and employees. Eliminate the airborne spoilage bacteria and molds threatening your produce. Protect workers throughout your facilities by eliminating airborne viruses that cause illness. Provide absolute peace of mind in your back offices with 99.99% pure, clean air. A variety of Airocide units make it possible everywhere you need it – and we can design a system that fits facilities of every size.

Spoilage and waste are two of the worst enemies to your bottom line when you store, ship, or sell produce – and barring physical damage during transport, you’ll find there’s often a natural cause behind the issue. Ethylene gas is a colorless, odorless gas that’s emitted by mature plant matter – like picked produce – and it hastens spoilage, causing losses and serious quality reduction. In an enclosed space, like a produce warehouse, cold storage, or transport truck, ethylene builds up and affects your products. That’s why taking steps to control ethylene in your produce warehouse will go a long way to protecting your bottom line, and can even help you deliver a higher quality product. Luckily, there’s a simple way to control ethylene all along your process, from storage to transport. Airocide air purification makes it easy – discover the powerful answer to ethylene gas.

Invisible Till it’s Too Late

Ethylene gas can’t be seen or smelled, it can only be detected via testing. One telltale sign, though, is rapid ripening and spoilage in your produce. Ethylene is a volatile organic compound or VOC, a gas that reacts with other organic materials. In a closed space, it collects and silently spoils your fruits, vegetables, and florals. Securing extended vibrancy and quality for your produce means controlling ethylene – and that means removing it from the air where it collects. Airocide air purification uses a technology designed specifically to eliminate ethylene while producing no harmful emissions.

Using Airocide to Control Ethylene

No matter where it collects; in your warehouse, on the packing line, or in transport, Airocide can reduce ethylene gas and help stop the spoilage it causes. An Airocide system designed for your space will eliminate VOCs from the air – including ethylene – as well as other contributors to spoilage and waste like mold or bacteria. You could see less waste, more vibrant products, and healthier air for both your produce and your employees. Even better, Airocide eliminates ethylene without producing any harmful emissions, like ozone, that would only reduce air quality for the employees you depend on for a successful operation.

Comprehensive Coverage and Intelligent Control

Controlling ethylene in your produce warehousing and transport means less spoilage and better quality – but it shouldn’t come at the expense of overall air quality. Discover a solution that will help you control ethylene without sacrificing air quality and safety in your produce warehouse.

Odorless, invisible, and toxic, ethylene gas is among the largest airborne threats to commercial cold storage and food processing facilities. As experts in commercial air purification, we know the importance of controlling ethylene gas. Today, there are thousands of our Airocide units in service, providing an effective solution to ethylene gas. But what is ethylene gas exactly? With decades of experience, we can help you define, identify and control ethylene gas.

An Invisible Threat

Ethylene gas is a naturally occurring gas from plants. It is made up of hydrogen and carbon, which, as a result, means you cannot see or smell it in your facility. In an enclosed environment like cold storage units or food processing facilities, ethylene gas’ elements can build up quickly.

As an airborne volatile organic compound (VOC), ethylene gas silently spoils produce, florals, and other products in your facility if not eliminated. Ethylene gas causes rapid ripening and maturing of products, which significantly reduces their shelf life and quality. If you’ve noticed your food waste increasing, ethylene gas may be the invisible culprit you need to control.

Eliminate Rapid Expiration

Commercial air purification with Airocide keeps your facility clean and safe from the natural gas that accumulates. To increase food quality, shelf life, or maintain safe storage practices, you need to protect your commercial indoor air quality. Keeping a clean facility and eliminating ethylene gas will secure your products’ extended vibrancy.

The easiest and most effective way to control ethylene gas is by utilizing our ethylene gas scrubbers inside each Airocide unit. Ethylene gas is an unseen, airborne VOC, but our air sanitation unit destroys all pathogens that pass through its processor. No emissions, no ozone, no bacteria, no ethylene gas, just clean air.

Pure Results

What is ethylene gas after it goes through an Airocide unit? Trace amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor. As a result of our patented air purification technology, the air that fills your facility is clean and free of 99.99% of ethylene gas and other airborne pathogens.

Once you install our Airocide system, you will soon see the extended shelf life and benefits of pure air throughout your facility. Read how thousands of our units have helped provide commercial air purification for facilities like yours. For a free facility proposal, send us a message.
