Background on Photocatalytic Oxidation

Engineered to be sustainable, our filtration technology uses photocatalytic oxidation to convert pollutants into harmless byproducts.

THE CATALYST

Photocatalytic oxidation uses a photocatalyst that is activated by UV light. When UV light strikes the catalyst, the electrons are excited and an electron-hole pair is created. The energized electrons act with the O2 and H20 molecules in the air to create energized OH radicals.

SUSTAINABILITY

The OH radicals attack and break down a wide range of organic pollutants, converting them into compounds like water and carbon dioxide. This filtration method mimics natural atmospheric photochemical processes that purify air, and do not require the use of high temperatures.

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