Anywhere your produce is held, an invisible gas starts to collect. Ethylene is a volatile organic compound – a colorless gas that mature plants produce. It accelerates ripening in fruits and vegetables, and it’s sometimes used deliberately in the produce industry to do just that. But, what happens when a fruit or vegetable reaches optimum ripeness? It continues to produce ethylene, spreading this ripening hormone to nearby produce and hastening spoilage. This can happen during packaging, transportation, and storage – so delivering a fresh, long-lasting product means stopping exposure to ethylene gas at every stage. Here’s how air purification from AiroCide makes it easy and safe, no matter where ethylene collects in your process.

In Packing and Processing

All along your production line, that perfectly ripe produce is outputting ethylene – and removing it requires proper air purification. But, for the protection of your employees and the sensitive produce they handle, your system can’t use potentially toxic chemicals or output any harmful emissions – like some air purifiers do. AiroCide safely disinfects the air of ethylene without using ozone, hydrogen peroxide, or any other harmful chemical, and outputs only pure air. The air purification process used by AiroCide, called photocatalytic oxidation (or PCO), takes place entirely inside a sealed reaction chamber. Your AiroCide unit draws in ethylene, viruses, and other unwanted organic particles like bacteria or fungus and destroys them completely. AiroCide protects your employees as well as your products, and leaves only clean air.

In Cold Storage and Warehousing

Cold storage and warehouses can be large spaces – but they’re just as susceptible to ethylene buildup as anywhere else, and spoilage still occurs. Luckily, a variety of AiroCide models exist, and we can configure our systems to spaces of every size. With the dimensions of your space, you can reach out to get an accurate proposal for a system that will fit your facility and reduce unnecessary spoilage in storage. It can also reduce the instance of fungus and bacteria – protecting your produce in more ways than one.

In Transportation

Transportation is key to delivering fresh produce – and whether your trucks are refrigerated or not, ethylene can still collect around your fruits and vegetables. Stopping ethylene gas during transportation is simple with the right AiroCide model. Your AiroCide unit cleans the air of 99.99% of VOCs like ethylene, as well as any mold or fungus that may land on produce at the last minute.

A Simple and Effective Solution

Stopping ethylene gas at every stage of your product’s journey means reducing spoilage and delivering a more fresh, longer-lasting piece of produce to your customer. Less loss up front and more satisfied buyers at the end is your reward for reducing this VOC! It’s a simple solution with a great result, reach out to our air purification experts to find out how, and start protecting your produce today.

You’re working with an invisible threat all the time. A volatile organic compound, or VOC, is a gas that’s emitted from certain solids or liquids. They contain chemicals that cause adverse health effects depending on the concentration and length of exposure. If you work with fruits, vegetables, or even flowers, you may be aware of spoilage-causing ethylene gas. Ethylene is produced by ripe fruits, vegetables, and cut flowers – so is ethylene a VOC?

What is Ethylene Gas?

The answer is yes, ethylene gas is a VOC. And if you store fruits, vegetables, or even flowers for extended periods, you interact with this invisible threat all the time. It builds up in storage spaces and transportation, speeding up spoilage and reducing the shelf life and quality of your products. It’s a hormone produced by mature plants that causes other plants to mature faster and spoil – and controlling it is paramount to successful storage and transportation for your product.

How to Eliminate Ethylene

You want to control ethylene without producing any harmful emissions in return, like ozone. The best way to eliminate this gas and other VOCs, as well as viruses, mold, and bacteria in your facility, is with commercial air purification with an Airocide unit! Protecting your indoor air quality by destroying ethylene gas will ensure your products’ shelf life and extended vibrancy, whether in cold storage, a warehouse, or even during transport in a sealed truck. And, using an Airocide unit will ensure that no harmful byproducts or gasses circulate in your facility’s air supply.

What Happens to Ethylene in an Airocide Unit

As the VOC ethylene passes through the processor of an Airocide unit, the unit breaks it down via a process called photocatalytic oxidation, or PCO. Proprietary PCO lamps inside the unit activate a catalyst bed below. The catalyst reacts with organic molecules in the air, reducing them to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The only thing that circulates out into your air supply is pure, clean air. No emissions, no ozone, and no more ethylene gas.

Protecting Your Whole Facility

So ethylene gas is a VOC, but it’s easy to control with the right equipment. Airocide and AiroPro HO from KesAir are the VOC-fighting air purification solutions that can protect your product, your facility, and your bottom line. Learn more today about how PCO can be put to use protecting more than just your storage areas, reach out to one of our commercial air purification experts.

Preservation is the point of perishable cold storage – but in some ways, it can accelerate spoilage. Increased shelf-life is the key, no matter if your products are in a refrigerator or a deep freezer. At KES Science, we know the cause – and we have the cure. Stop the volatile organic compound that’s affecting your produce in its tracks. Destroy the ethylene in your cold storage areas with Airocide air sanitation units.

Stopping Ethylene in Your Cold Storage

Ethylene is emitted by ripe fruit, vegetables, and other vegetation. It’s a volatile organic compound, or VOC that speeds ripening and spoilage. The average carbon air filter isn’t equipped to deal with VOCs. They suck them up and possibly recirculate them without ever removing them from the air. The key to reducing spoilage in your fridge or freezer is to reduce buildup of Ethylene – using the right technology to do it.

The Right Tool for Slowing Spoilage

Purpose-built for the protection of growing plants and produce, the technology inside Airocide was actually developed for NASA for use on the International Space Station! Growing plants on the station were outputting too much ethylene, causing fast ripening, spoilage, and a buildup of the VOC. The technology, photocatalytic oxidation, was developed to completely break down ethylene and other VOCs and organic molecules into nothing more than trace elements of carbon dioxide and water vapor – releasing no dangerous emissions. That’s the same technology inside every Airocide unit – and in our units it’s just as effective at eliminating VOCs, bacteria, viruses, and other organic threats to your people and products.

One for Every Size Facility

We’ve designed several units to fit any space, from processing, to storage, to repacking. With Airocide units in place, your air will be scrubbed of organic threats. They kill bacteria and viruses that may cause respiratory infections, as well as the VOCs that cause faster spoilage. Not only that, our new AiroPro units can be installed in back offices, common areas, and more for total protection across your entire facility – creating an atmosphere of pure, clean air.

Stop Spoilage and Defend Your Facility

For cold storage facilities, there’s no better answer to the threat of the VOC ethylene. Airocide destroys ethylene and kills bacteria, viruses, and even mold that may affect workers or produce.
