How It Works

AirROS by SAGE Commercial air & surface purifiers utilize high voltage and high frequency-controlled pulses, but very low amperage to create non-thermal plasma and generate ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). ROS are the sanitation/cleaning agents that prevent and destroy Molds (including Powdery Mildew), Viruses, and other Pathogens and control/eliminate Odor in the Air and Surfaces in two stages:

Phase 1- Primary Air Cleaning

Placed within your grow room’s air flow or greenhouse, air from the environment containing microorganisms enters the purifier’s internal chamber. The reaction chamber creates non-thermal plasma and generates ROS. ROS is comprised of 5 short lived highly Reactive Oxygen Species (atomic oxygen, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, superoxide and peroxynitrite) which break down carbon-to-carbon bonds that sanitize the air and destroys all bacteria, molds, viruses and other pathogens as they pass through the reaction chamber.

Phase 2- Secondary Surface & Air Cleaning

Provides Surface sanitation and continued Air sanitation. The purified air now diffused into the environment contains longer lived Reactive Oxygen Species (gas-phased H2O2- hydrogen peroxide, and low concentration levels of O3-ozone) that further sanitize room air and surfaces. Again, in addition to treating the ambient air as it passes through the reaction chamber, using the H2O2 and O3 diffused into the environment, our units will further sanitize all Surfaces and control Odor, resulting in clean air and surfaces 24/7.

ROS

REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES

AirROS purifiers use electricity which we convert to High-Voltage, High-Frequency and by controlled pulses creates ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). The ROS created are highly reactive and are responsible for the sanitation and destruction of molds, viruses, pathogens, and odors. See our “How it Works” page for more information.

Microbes Destroyed by ROS

COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES

  • In the marketplace for decades without wide adoption
  • Effective water treatment
  • Air treatment
  1. must use outside, dried air and pump compressed O3 into the space to be treated.
  2. O3 is the only reactive oxygen species (ROS) used
  3. This necessitates very large quantities of O3 to treat the room. OSHA limits almost always exceeded.
  4. Difficult to regulate and control, due to high pressure and O3 production.
  5. “Old technology” that does not fit modern uses and needs.
  6. Some Commodities highly sensitive to ozone.

  • UV light from lamps are capable of destroying some bacteria, fungi and mold by breaking bonds in the cell walls or DNA.
  • The microbes must touch the UV light emission to be affected.
  • The microbes must also be exposed for long-enough to be affected.
  • No ROS is created.
  • Bulbs are not large, so many have to be used for any sizable space.
  • Bulbs are expensive, burn out frequently and are a hazardous disposal material, since they often contain mercury.
  • Consumer units for homes often contain a UV component.

 

UV Purifiers VS AirROS Surface & Air Purifiers

Watch this video to see the difference between UV technology and AirROS (Reactive Oxygen Species Technology)

  • UV light is focused on plates covered with titanium dioxide paint.
  • Known as PCO or photo catalytic oxidation
  • Developed by NASA to help grow crops in space by cleaning air; is a public domain technology.
  • Air Treatment
  1. UV light destruction of microorganisms
  2. Produces some ROS (e.g. hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions) to remove some molds, bacteria and viruses. Depending on UV wavelength, some systems may produce very low levels of ozone and hydrogen peroxide for minor surface benefit.

Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) VS AirROS Advance Systems
Watched this video to see the difference between PCO purifiers and AirROS purifiers

  • Uses electricity to add a static charge to air molecules.
  1. Charge causes the molecules to attach to dust and other airborne particles (may include some bacteria, mold, etc.).
  2. Contains plates which attract particles: must be cleaned frequently.
  3. Combined particles are also heavier than air, and fall to ground and surfaces.
  • Does not destroy any contaminant particles (bacteria, mold, etc.), instead it collects them.
  1. Particles can be “kicked up” by air movement, vehicle and human or animal traffic to recontaminate areas or be tracked to other locations.
  2. Often causes a “black-wall effect” where walls near the ionizer are coated with attracted contaminants.
  • Often used in household devices.

AirROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) VS Ionizers/Bipolar Ionizers

Watch this video to see the difference between both technologies.

  • Liquid cleaning system for surface applications.
  • A safer, more potent form of the oxidizer compound found in bleach (neutral pH) , but with very short shelf life.
  • Shelf life issue solved with an on-site system to “create” the solution just in time as it is needed.
  • Like the AirROS system, it uses oxidation to eliminate microbes, but with only one (1) reactive oxygen species.
  • Complimentary to AirROS by enhancing current surface cleaning systems
  • Systems that combine one or more existing technology.

HEPA Filtration

  • High-quality HEPA air filters remove particles down to approximately 0.3 microns in size
  1. One (1) micron = 0.001mm
  2. This size is adequate to filter out most mold and mildew.
  3. It catches many, but not all bacteria.
  4. Viruses are small enough to move through unless just caught on filter media.
  • Microbes are not destroyed, just trapped and concentrated. (Yuck!)
  • HEPA air filters are effective for solid and liquid particles, but not effective for gaseous particles.
  • HEPA is a good complement to bacteria and mold-killing technology like AirROS in clean rooms and RTE food-processing operations.

Activated Charcoal Filters

  • Activated carbon air filters trap odors and chemicals in highly absorbent granules.
  • Activated carbon is a charcoal that is treated with oxygen in order to open pores between the carbon atoms in the filter, resulting in a highly absorbent material.
  • Good compliment to the AirROS system in ultra-clean environments as long as used for air intake or air exhaust. The activated carbon filter will remove our ROS from the environment and leave the environment without surface treatment.
  • UV – UV light from lamps targeted on a hydrated multi-metal catalyst (Titanium Dioxide -TiO2 is main component) creates low-levels of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)
  • It is capable of destroying some bacteria, fungi and mold by breaking bonds in the cell walls or DNA that enter the purifier.
  • The microbes must touch the UV light emission or come into contact with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) to be affected.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) has some minor surface treatment.
  • However, Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) alone not high enough concentration to be effective on all surfaces at long distances from the output.
  • Multiple units needed to treat large spaces and this increases electricity costs.
  • H2O2 is the only reactive oxygen species (ROS) used

AirROS purifiers use electricity which we convert to High-Voltage, High-Frequency and by controlled pulses creates ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). The ROS created are highly reactive and are responsible for the sanitation and destruction of molds, viruses, pathogens, and odors. See our “How it Works” page for more information.
