HOW PCO IMPROVES AIR QUALITY
Unlike traditional filtration methods that capture particles, PCO actively transforms contaminants. This makes it especially effective for gases and low-concentration pollutants that are difficult to remove with mechanical filters alone. Because the process relies on surface chemistry rather than storage or adsorption, PCO can operate continuously without the gradual performance degradation associated with typical filtration methods.
PHOTOCATALYTIC OXIDATION: THE BASICS
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a chemical process used to reduce airborne contaminants by breaking them down at the molecular level. When light energy interacts with a photocatalyst, it initiates oxidation reactions that target volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other trace pollutants. These reactions convert complex, potentially harmful molecules into simpler, more stable substances such as carbon dioxide and water.

The process of photocatalytic oxidation for organic compound removal occurs within the reactor itself, which contains the catalyst.
