WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE HYDROXYL GENERATOR CONCEPT?
Hydroxyl generators are new to the field of cleaning and indoor air quality. However the underlying scientific principles have been around for more than a century. UV disinfection protocols have been in common use in hospitals and in the food processing sector for many years. More recently, hydroxyl generation has been used as one solution to the ‘Sick Building Syndrome’, dramatically improving the levels of indoor air quality (typically through duct system installations). The website of Penn State University School of Aerobiological Engineering provides a good reference source of studies that deal with UV applications (sometimes in conjunction with filtration) and systems design. The goal being to combat poor IAQ which would include, mold infestations and anthrax bio-terrorism. Through the Hydroxyl generators, we have taken this proven and safe core technology and placed it into a practical, cost effective form that for the first time gives the user mobility and high-volume air proces
