Purifying the Air and Scrubbing Ethylene Gas

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.

Control Ethylene in Your Produce Warehouse

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. Reach out to an Airocide air purification expert today and discover ethylene control with no harmful emissions.

How Air Purification Affects Airflow

Airocide commercial air purification can be the difference between spoiled produce and significantly extended shelf life. For food processing facilities, cold storage units, and food banks, airflow is pertinent to keeping food fresh, safe and optimal for purchase.

Why Food Banks Need Air Purification

Approximately half of the Feeding America Food Banks, located in the U.S., are utilizing our Airocide air purification technology in their food storage facilities. These food banks have seen up to five more days of extended shelf life in their donated products. What does this mean? It means more food for local communities and better food to serve the hungry.

More Food, Less Hungry

Not only does our Technology Developed for NASA help commercial cold storage facilities remove airborne threats, but our powerful air purification helps to extend the life of donated food at community food banks across the nation. Because food banks cannot anticipate what state the food they receive will be in, their storage facilities need to keep food fresh as long as possible.

A large portion of food banks in the US have implemented our Airocide air sanitation systems. Many of them noticed a significant increase in the shelf life of their donated products. With more time to store and serve the food, these food banks can help feed more hungry Americans. Now, they can serve higher quality AND quantities of food.

Serving Safe Food

With the variety of food donated to food banks, it can be a difficult task to keep produce separated. When produce is donated, on average, it is near the end of its natural life. Produce at this stage creates higher levels of ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is naturally occurring, but it causes produce to rapidly ripen and spoil. Food banks are highly susceptible to ethylene gas reactions with multiple produce items being mature.

Ethylene gas is odorless, but can aggressively cause fresh produce to rot. Our commercial air purification units installed in food bank storage facilities serve to eliminate ethylene gas. As they control produce maturity levels and extend the shelf life of donated produce. This helps food banks continue to serve fresh and healthy food.

Michael P. Miller, President & CEO of River Bend Food Bank, stated in a recent testimonial, “The most noticeable change was with tomatoes. If we were to hold tomatoes as long as two weeks, they would liquefy. We just distributed a truckload of tomatoes, and with the combination of storage at the proper temperature along with Airocide units, the tomatoes we distributed at the end of two weeks looked as good as those we distributed immediately upon receipt. We’re very happy customers at this point. I would be glad to serve as a referral. You can’t hear them, and you can’t see your units doing anything, but this kind of result with the tomatoes was extraordinary.

Helping Feed the Hungry

Our system quietly, efficiently and effectively works to keep food bank products fresh, as long as possible. We’re proud to be a part of providing more food for local communities. We’re also happy to be helping food banks across America experience the benefits of using our air purification technology.
