| Our
advanced air purification technology is
what makes Biozone Air Purifiers truly
different from anything else on the
market today. Our unique
PureWave™ technology represents the
very latest and most powerful air
purification methodologies combined with
solid science - and the result is air
purification at its best.
PureWave™
The
best just got better - PureWave™ is
an exciting new UV technology that
unites the science of
ultraviolet germicidal light waves,
purifying hydroxyls, activated oxygen,
and photo-ionization
with advanced electronics and
state-of-the-art engineering.
What
makes this technology important and
unique is that it synergistically
combines four of the
most accepted and powerful methods for
destroying contaminants to produce a stronger
air cleaning process than is normally
possible with the sum of the individual
methods.
It's
tough to compare air purifiers,
especially with the hundreds of models
available, but Biozone's advanced
technology makes it easy. The
first step is understanding how powerful
and safe the newer ozone technologies
really are when compared to products
that simply don't reflect new
developments in the industry.
While most manufacturers
of ozone air purifiers use the older,
corona discharge (high voltage
electricity) method to create ozone,
Biozone's PureWave™ technology uses
high-purity ultraviolet lamps that use a
broad spectrum of UV wavelengths to not
only produce
photolic ozone but also automatically control its
level. The lamps also produce ultraviolet
germicidal irradiation (UVGI).
Like ozone, UVGI destroys bacteria,
viruses, and fungi and has been used in
medical facilities for years for those
exact purposes.
Combining photolic
ozone with UVGI and moisture (humidity)
produces a powerful oxidant known as
hydroxyl radicals. These purifying
hydroxyls have been described as
"the single most important
cleansing agent in the earth's
atmosphere." They break down
hazardous organic compounds and are a
catalyst in the chain reaction necessary
for contaminant oxidation. In addition
to these purification methods, Biozone
units produce negative ions and have a
patent pending method that dramatically
accelerates the production of negative
ions via ultraviolet wavelengths.
PureWave™
Technology combines the best of science
and electronics to produce the purest of
air.
SafeZone™
Ozone
generators have been used for over a
hundred years for purification and
sanitation purposes. Ozone's
properties as a bactericide, viricide,
fungicide and deodorizer are well
accepted by the scientific
community. Industry and the
general public have eagerly accepted
ozonation as a water and air
purifier. However, it is also well
established that exposure to high levels
of ozone can be harmful to health, and
in particular can be a respiratory
irritant. This has led to a
legitimate concern as to the safety of such
ozone generators for general public
use. There is no consensus as to
when ozone levels become harmful to
humans, but based on available research,
regulatory agencies such as the FDA have
set safe levels at .05 ppm (parts per
million) for continual exposure and OSHA
has set 0.1 ppm as a maximum for 8 hour
exposures. Other agencies and
organizations have similar
recommendations. Previously, all ozone
generators used for air purification had
the potential to produce ozone
levels over these recommendations.
To combat this problem, some
manufacturers of portable ozone air
purifiers introduced models with ozone
sensors that automatically shut off the
units when ozone levels rise above a
prescribed limit. While this is a
step in the right direction, these
devices are not foolproof, nor do they
seem to work well in all size
environments, nor do they control the
"blasting" of high
concentrations of ozone when
operating.
Biozone has developed
an advanced method to ensure safe ozone
levels called SafeZone™.
It will not allow the accumulation of
ozone to exceed recommended, safe
levels. It is a fail-safe
method. It does not rely on
electronic gadgetry or inexpensive
sensors, but combines the science of
ultraviolet radiation, atom
disassociation, quantum yield, and
optimization of unit geometry. In
practical terms, this means as the ozone
level in an environment begins to rise,
the machine will automatically reduce
the amount of ozone being produced,
thereby keeping the accumulation at low
levels. There is no longer a
reason to have concern about the
potential harmful effects of too much
ozone. Biozone's air purifiers
provide all the wonderful, powerful
benefits of ozone but with none of the
worry associated with previous ozone
devices. If you love the pure air at
Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe, or
Sequoia National Park, then you will
love the results of the SafeZone™
method.
SafeVolt™
Biozone's state-of-the-art electronics
module is truly the key to the unique
power and effectiveness of the PureWave™
System. This advanced engineered
electronics package is a solid-state
unit with constant wattage circuitry for
greater electrical efficiency and for
the support of consistent output and
long life. Constant wattage to the
UV lamp results in complete consistecy
of the UV wavelengths that are produced
- ensuring that both the output and the
control are always at an optimum level.
No other UV air purifier features this
unique power source.
In addition, the
electronics design is 12VDC - resulting in
one of the safest devices on the market
and hence our trademark,
SafeVolt™. The SafeVolt™ 12VDC
system is a vast electrical improvement
over ozone units using the corona
discharge method of creating ozone, which
requires 5,000 - 10,000 volts of
electricity. The added advantage
of Biozone's 12VDC system is that it is
easily used all over the world. No
more worry about countries varying
electrical systems using 110VAC or
220VAC or 240VAC. A simple AC/DC
adapter is all that is needed.
