Design of Cold Storage for Perishables: Protect the Air with PCO!

Design of Cold Storage for Perishables: Protect the Air with PCO!When designing a cold storage facility, whether for fruits and vegetables, flowers, meat, dairy, or any other perishable product, there’s one key element that can set your facility apart from the rest. The quality of the air, and the effectiveness of your air purification system could mean the difference between storage and spoilage.

Food safety, facility sanitation, and operating costs depend on a system that efficiently and effectively scrubs the air of mold, bacteria, and ethylene gas and other gaseous organic compounds. Airocide is the solution that will let you perfect the design of your cold storage facility, with all the effectiveness of Developed for Nasa photocatalytic oxidation (or PCO).

More Effective Air Purification with PCO Technology

Because of airborne threats like ethylene gas, mold spores, and bacteria, air purification is paramount in cold storage. But, when it comes to items like fruits and vegetables, products can bring in their own contaminants: ethylene gas, mold, and bacteria spores. Even if they’re thoroughly sterilized, ripe fruits and vegetables put off a gas called ethylene, which speeds ripening and can cause certain plants to overripen or spoil. This  volatile organic compound, or VOC, collects in enclosed spaces, affecting other produce items prematurely as more collects.

But there’s a solution, developed for NASA for the space station and perfected for use on earth by the scientists and engineers at KesAir.

Photocatalytic oxidation, otherwise known as PCO, was developed to help astronauts eliminate ethylene from the space station. The VOC was being produced by an experiment on growing food plants in space. Ethylene was ripening the plants too quickly – but after install, the PCO technology eliminated it, and it was found to destroy bacteria and viruses in the air as well.

Designing Cold Storage With Photocatalytic Oxidation

Today, that same PCO air purification technology is available, and it’s the ideal air purification system for the design of your cold storage facility. That’s because, from the very beginning, we’ve been developing PCO air purifiers to fit a wide variety of spaces – developing systems that can effectively and efficiently scrub the air no matter how large or small the space.

With a PCO air purifier installed, you’re killing airborne threats in your refrigerators or coolers. That means bacteria and mold has less of a chance of landing and spoiling delicate produce, and VOCs that would normally circulate in the air are removed completely – converted to harmless trace elements of carbon dioxide and water vapor. With Airocide air purifiers, you can also be sure your entire space is protected – we can use the measurements of your facility to create a custom Airocide system.

It’s easy to use and operate, and low-maintenance as well – and you can even protect your back offices and common areas with the same proven technology, thanks to our AiroPro line of purifiers. To learn more about KesAir Airocide, reach out to talk to a PCO air purification expert. You’ll protect your customers’ products and your bottom line with Developed for Nasa air purification from KesAir.

Produce Spoils too Fast in Cold Storage? Stop the Cause!

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. With AiroPro units to go with it, you can rest assured that you’re covered. Reach out to us today to learn more about each KesAir air sanitation unit, and to find the ones that are right for your facility.

NASA Technology Removes Ethylene Gas

Ethylene gas is a nearly undetectable threat to all commercial cold storage products. Our Airocide commercial air sanitation works around the clock to eliminate this airborne threat. Our NASA technology removes ethylene gas and keeps your product fresher, longer. Keep reading to learn how our commercial air purification system can benefit you.

From Space to Commercial Cold Storage

Our Airocide NASA technology removes ethylene gas by mineralizing it into trace elements of carbon dioxide and water vapor. The process first began when astronauts needed to grow and manage their own crops aboard Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS-73. These space-age farmers were experimenting with harvesting large-scale food crops. And, they needed a solution to remove naturally occurring ethylene gas from the plants in their enclosed greenhouse.

Our Airocide air purification device was used successfully to preserve crops on the shuttle by removing ethylene gas and other airborne contaminants through its processor. From this, we are able to recreate the ethylene gas removal process for enclosed cold storage spaces and food processing facilities. Now, there are thousands of our units in operation removing ethylene gas and providing purified air and extending product life.

Cold Storage Without Ethylene Gas

There are several unseen airborne threats to your commercial products, and ethylene gas is one of the most severe. Colorless, odorless and devastating to cold storage products, ethylene gas is a time warping enemy. So, how can you provide quality cold storage without ethylene gas? An Airocide commercial air purification system.

Cold, Hard Facts

Indeed, by utilizing Technology Developed for Nasa, Airocide’s ethylene gas scrubbers eliminate airborne mold, fungus and bacteria to yield more than 99.99% pure air. Cold storage for floral brands, grocers, dairy companies, wineries and more relies on air sanitation, air regulation and control. Bacteria, fungal spores and other harmful pathogens thrive in this environment. As a result, ethylene gas causes products to rapidly ripen and mature, ultimately shaving their shelf life.

In the food storage and processing business, you know time is of the essence. Ethylene gas spoils produce and airborne bacteria can stealthily ruin your product. With this in mind, our “plug and play” air purification systems remove ethylene gas, mineralizes airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, mycotoxins, viruses, allergens, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s like ethylene), and odors. Without worrying about airborne threats, you can focus on high-quality product.

Keep Your Cool

It may seem like a difficult task to remove something you cannot see or control. However, commercial air sanitation and ethylene gas removal are made effortless and easy with Airocide.
