In air purification for quality control and food testing laboratories, safety and effectiveness go hand in hand. A sealed, sterile environment requires air purification that scrubs the air completely, without producing harmful compounds like ozone. Airocide is that air purification solution – easy to install anywhere and designed to be effective at any scale, without producing ozone or using potentially toxic chemicals like hydrogen peroxide. With a technology developed by NASA for use on the space station, Airocide was born in a sealed environment where air quality was critical. When air quality is on the line in your food testing and quality control environments, Airocide is the solution you can rely on.

Stop Airborne Contaminants in Food Testing

The human nose and tongue can detect impurities in amounts that reach the parts per billions or trillions, depending on the molecule – and when it comes to mold, bacteria, and viruses in your quality testing environments, you have equipment that’s even more sensitive than that. You don’t want a single molecule to disrupt your quality control process or compromise your products. In sealed labs for testing or research and development, sterile production lines, and in all of your equipment, the air is the key barrier between your products and contamination.

Airocide Works Differently

An Airocide unit processes the air differently than a filter alone, working independently of high efficiency filtration systems and HVAC filters to create clean air in rooms of any size. Air that enters your Airocide unit is subjected to photocatalytic oxidation, or PCO, a process that produces no emissions:

• Air that enters the unit passes over a catalyst bed, which is activated by a set of PCO lamps.
  Unwanted organic molecules, including viruses, spoilage bacteria, mold, and airborne VOCs (volatile organic compounds) react with the catalyst bed and are destroyed – deactivated and reduced to trace elements of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
• Clean air exits the unit and circulates throughout your facility. No ozone or other emissions are produced.
• Some Airocide units contain convenient dust-preventing prefilters, but they all feature safe, effective, zero-emission PCO technology.

The airborne molecules that can cause contamination are gone – and your air is still safe for employees to breathe freely.

The Right Purification for Quality Control

Additionally, your Airocide system can be scaled to provide this same protection everywhere. We have a variety of units designed for handling high volumes of air on production lines and warehouses, or for back offices and areas like meeting rooms. And, with the help of one of our air purification experts, you can have a system designed to fit your facility – from testing labs and clean rooms all the way to production, storage, and shipping. Protect your food quality, reduce the risk of contamination, and even help your employees breathe easier. Airocide air purification makes it simple.

Airborne contaminants come in all shapes and sizes, from fluffy flakes of dust to microscopic spoilage bacteria. Keeping these threats off of your production line is a top priority in any food production facility, whether you’re bottling, baking, fermenting, frying, or packaging food products of any variety. When it comes to air purification in your food production facility, there’s the minimum standard of filtration, and then there’s a technology that provides true protection and peace of mind. Discover what makes photocatalytic oxidation, or PCO, the air purification of choice for brewers, bakers, processors, and packers who want to reduce losses and risk from spoilage bacteria and much more.

Air Filtration VS PCO, What’s the Difference?

An air filter is similar to any other kind of filter. Whether it’s a basic carbon filter or a true HEPA filter, airborne particles enter the filter, and – depending on the size – they are caught and disposed of later when the filter is replaced. The difference between this and PCO, is that when an unwanted organic molecule enters the chamber of a PCO air purifier, it is destabilized and destroyed – not caught for disposal.

What Does PCO Do?

Where air filtration catches organic particles, PCO deactivates them. That means that irritants like pollen, or more serious airborne biological threats like spoilage bacteria and infectious viruses are eliminated or made harmless. Our own air purifiers, the Airocide family of air sanitation units, use proprietary lamps and a TiO2 catalyst bed to initiate the reaction in a sealed chamber inside the unit. When unwanted particles enter the chamber, they react with the active catalyst and are reduced to trace elements of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

PCO in Addition to Air Filtration for Food Production

These two air purification methods are not mutually exclusive. Where air filtration can mitigate particulate like dust via your HVAC system, a PCO air purifier can deactivate organic particles small enough to pass through the filter, and those that are carried into the air in the room by workers. Some Airocide PCO air purifiers even have integrated particulate filters to keep the sealed reaction chamber inside working in top order. This eliminates the need to replace the reactor catalyst or open the unit for dusting. Even better, Airocide units produce no harmful emissions; no ozone, no peroxides, only pure air circulates out of your purifier.

Air Purification for Any Facility

One of the biggest benefits of PCO is also volume – we can configure a system that will keep the air in your food production spaces clean, no matter the size. Reduce the threats of spoilage and contamination, and provide peace of mind to consumers and employees – from production, to storage, to transportation, to your offices and more. That’s the benefit of PCO in food production. To learn more about PCO, and to get a free quote for your facility, reach out to our air purification experts today and discover Airocide.
