How Aervi™ technology works

Bioburden

Aervi™ uses advanced, engineered technologies to continuously reduce airborne and surface microorganisms by emitting a flow of disinfecting plasma.

Three integrated systems operate 24/7 to neutralize bioburden and enhance indoor air quality.

Germicidal UV

As air flows through the plasma chamber and over the UV lamp all micro-organisms in the air are inactivated. The plasma chamber comprises of dual waveband UV lamps at 254nm and 185nm surrounded by nano coated catalytic plates. Germicidal UV light changes the viruses RNA destroying their ability to reproduce.

Hydroxyl Radicals

As air flows through the chamber the UV light reacts with the titanium dioxide catalysts causing water vapor to be converted to highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH). Hydroxyl radicals (very strong oxidising agents) cause oxidative damage to the viral particle eventually converting to CO2 and water.

Superoxide Ions

As air flows through the chamber the UV light reacts with the titanium dioxide catalysts causing a release of free electrons, they bond with oxygen to form superoxide ions. Superoxide ions bond with airborne particles (including micro-organism’s) causing them to sink as they are heavier and become attracted to surfaces beneath.
