Airocide® - Air Purifiers Technology
Airocide air purification technology, originally developed by NASA for space missions, addresses the challenge of ethylene gas accumulation in confined environments. By employing photocatalytic bioconversion, it effectively removes ethylene, a threat to perishable foods. On Earth, Airocide demonstrates its utility in various applications, including healthcare, by eliminating pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, including flu and H1N1. It achieves this without filters, maintenance, or unwanted by-products, consuming minimal power. Airocide's capability extends beyond food preservation to enhancing air quality in medical settings, helping mitigate hospital-acquired infections. As a result, it contributes to food safety, health, and heritage conservation by removing allergens, volatile organic compounds, and harmful microorganisms.
NASA had a problem
Sending humans into space presented a large number of challenges. One of the main problems was how to preserve perishable foods. Indeed, in a confined and sealed space, the concentration of ethylene increases quickly then becomes toxic beyond a certain level of concentration. So toxic in fact that it very quickly kills the plants and vegetables. So NASA turned to science.
The solution was elegant
A revolutionary and unique air purification technology. Airocide photocatalytic bioconversion. Maintenance-free. Produces no undesirable by-products. And consumes as little power as a 100 W bulb. And it worked! Free of ethylene gases in the shuttle, Man has access to fresh food to continue their odyssey!
Designed to remove ethylene in space, even more powerful on Earth
A real revolution in air treatment
This unique technology will find many applications on Earth. Effective in space on ethylene, it showed itself to be extraordinarily efficient with moulds, viruses and bacteria. Used in the health sector, Airocide® destroys viruses such as flu or H1N1, eliminates Anthrax, destroys allergens and VOCs (volatile organic compounds), etc.
Airocide® is a precious ally in the battle against hospital-acquired infections. From food preservation to human health taking in food safety and heritage conservation, Airocide® was born in space to perform on Earth.
