HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Arresting) Filter
Most widely known method for purifying air. Depending on the
filter size, it can clean up to 99.99% of particulate in the air with proper
ventilation. They are not effective on treating mold, mildew, bacteria, and
other fungi.
Electrostatic Filtration
Another filtration system with a negatively charged surface is used
to attract particulate. In comparison to most HEPA systems it is more
effective in trapping smaller micron particulate and effective in clearing
smoke from the air. Low levels of ozone may be produced which can neutralize
most mold, mildew, bacteria, and other fungi that comes in contact with the
filter.
Ozone
Ozone is a very powerful oxidizer that will neutralize odors,
mold, mildew, bacteria, and other fungi. This technology is commonly used in
flood and fire restoration. Ozone is found to be effective because it works on
the problem at the source and air does not have to be pulled through the unit
for treatment.
UV Germicidal Lamps
Commonly used for disinfecting purposes. This technology is
effective in sterilizing air and surfaces that come in contact with the UV
light. UV has been proven in both air and water applications to inactivate
bacteria and viruses to prevent them from reproducing.
Ionization
Also uses a negatively charged surface to produce and expels
an abundance of negative ions and cause suspended particles to cling to walls,
floors, and other surfaces . Most ionizers are effective in settling dust and
particulate out of our breathing space.
T-2: Photocatalysis
Using light to react with a catalyst resulting in oxidation.
This is found to be effective in destroying mold, mildew, bacteria, other
fungi, dust mites, and many odors. This technology is produced with an
Ozone/UV lamp set in a variety of combinations. When this type of
photocatalysis is combined with the natural humidity in indoor air it creates
hydroxyl radicals and super oxide ions that are effective in combating
bacteria, fungi and VOC. This method is also a pro-active approach that goes
to the source for treatment.
