Advanced Photoplasma and Photochemistry Purifiers

The most advanced air purifiers today combine photoplasma and photochemistry to produce a breakthrough in air cleaning.  The cumbersome plates that have to be cleaned daily and the ineffective filters that have to be replaced regularly have been made obsolete by pure science. 

What is Plasma?

Plasma is often called the "fourth state of matter," the other three being solids, liquids and gas.  Plasma is a distinct state of matter containing a significant number of electrically charged particles, a  number sufficient to affect its electrical properties and behavior.  In addition to being important in many aspects of our daily lives, plasmas are estimated to constitute more than 99 percent of the visible universe.  Plasmas possess remarkable properties not found in ordinary solids,  liquids or gases.  The free electrons are extremely mobile.   

In addition to surrounding you in the universe, plasmas play key roles in bringing  you sunlight outdoors during the daytime, street light at night, fluorescent light in your offices, computer chips, artificial joint, monitors, flat panel TV and environmental cleanup.

What is Photochemistry?

Ultraviolet rays (UV) have shorter wavelengths than visible light.  UV rays with wavelengths shorter than 300 nanometers are extremely effective killing microorganisms.  The most effective sterilizing range for UV is within the C bandwidth (UVC or UV-C).  This range is called the germicidal bandwidth.

The cleansing mechanism of UV is a photochemical process.  The contaminants that pollute the indoor environment are almost entirely based upon organic or carbon-based compounds.  These compounds breakdown when exposed to high intensity UV in the germicidal bandwidth.           

Combining Plasma and Ultraviolet Light 

When microbes (bacteria, bacterial spores, viruses, yeast, mold and mold spores) are exposed to sufficient doses of UV-C light, their DNA is destroyed, causing cell death or making replication (cell division) impossible.  They are thus rendered harmless.  Since UV-C leaves no product residues or contaminates, it is an environmentally friendly alternative to using chemicals.  These powerful wavelengths also energize the gaseous contents of the air producing a purifying plasma that destroys bacteria, viruses, fungi, VOCs, and other organics, as well as to neutralize unpleasant odors.

When photoplasma and photochemistry is combined tests show that air and surfaces are sanitized and cleaned 2000 times faster than other methods and 180 times faster than UV light alone.
