An Air Purifier Used for NASA, Tailored to Your Industry

Your products, your samples, your employees, and even you yourself deserve protection, right? But unprocessed air is full of threats, like bacteria, viruses, VOCs, fungus, and spores. A carbon air filter alone isn’t enough to protect the air in controlled spaces like the ones you try to maintain in your facility.

Something more powerful will do the trick. On the space station, for example, they use a system that scrubs the air clean without producing emissions back into the delicate atmosphere they maintain onboard. But how can you get the same air purifier technology NASA uses? It’s all available – tailored to your industry’s specific needs – with air sanitation systems from Airocide.

Air Purifier Used for NASA

This air purification technology scrubs the air of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. Astronauts were growing plants on the space station, but a VOC called ethylene was building up and accelerating spoilage in their growing room. The closed environment meant VOC-contaminated air couldn’t be vented away. But, the purification solution needed to produce zero emissions so astronauts weren’t breathing in toxic ozone.

A technology called photocatalytic oxidation, or PCO, emerged as the solution. PCO destroyed the ethylene gas, and even other organic threats in the air as well. The purifiers scrubbed pollen, viruses, and bacteria from the air too – and produced no dangerous emissions. At Airocidie, we took exactly that PCO technology and adapted it for use here on earth – providing air purification that was perfect for food testing, transport, preservation, and preparation.

Tailored to Your Space

In cold storage & repacking, foodservice, labs & clean rooms, and dozens of other food service and processing industries, clean air is paramount – for reasons very similar to those of the astronauts on the space station. VOCs like ethylene spoil foods faster, but other contaminants like bacteria interfere with production as well.

And production isn’t one-size-fits-all either – that’s why we’ve developed a wide variety of units that fit facilities of all sizes. From the largest production lines, to clean rooms, to back offices – there’s an Airocide unit that will protect your products and employees.

Find out how you can use the same air purifier used for NASA, all throughout your facility. Reach out to talk about the ideal air sanitation solution for your business.

Get Powerful PPE with American Rescue Plan Act Funding! 

Protect your employees, your products, and your investment – all with help from the American Rescue Plan! Airocide and other KesAir air sanitation products like AiroPro with Technology Developed for Nasa are covered under the plan as PPE – and that means you could get grant funding to purchase them for your facility and offices. These are FDA Class II listed Medical Devices, so don’t wait – funding from this and previous COVID-19 relief packages is limited. Here’s how you can use these funds – and what true protection is like with Airocide from KesAir.

Funding From The American Rescue Plan Act

In January of 2021, President Biden announced the American Rescue Plan, a sweeping act that would provide COVID relief and coverage through a variety of public health agencies and out to private companies and citizens. One of the provisions in this act is for personal protective equipment, or PPE. Air sanitation is a powerful protective measure, and our units are covered by the act as PPE – providing you an option that protects your workers as well as so much more. For information on getting a grant from this or any previous COVID relief acts, HHS provides a phenomenal collection of resources, or just visit grants.gov for a full list of agencies providing funding.

What Makes Airocide the Ideal PPE Choice

Not only does Airocide air sanitation protect your storage, freezers, and processing areas from ethylene gas and other airborne nuisances – it can help reduce respiratory tract infections and make your workplace a safer environment. It uses a technology not found in standard air purifiers; a Developed for Nasa process called photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). With a powerful catalyst and high-intensity proprietary lamps, Airocide units kill organic molecules like bacteria, viruses, fungus, mold, pollen, and even volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, all happening within the sealed catalyst chamber. This technology produces zero emissions – with no ozone or any harmful chemicals or gasses. In fact, Airocide and other KesAir products are listed as FDA Class II Medical Devices.

Airocide protects your employees and products in freezers, storage areas, transportation, and all along your production and processing lines, and our AiroPro line can be used to protect staff in your offices and common areas as well. Both air sanitation lines are covered as PPE under the American Rescue Plan.
