Does PHI help control COVID?

11.01.2022 Air Purity

The revolutionary Photohydroionization (PHI-CELL®) technology mimics the way nature cleans the air outdoors for use in indoor spaces. In fact, it has been proven to kill 99% of viruses and contaminants from the air, and surfaces it touches.

It has been successfully tested against the actual SARS-CoV-2 virus. The testing was performed against two types of contamination – surface and aerosolised, each with 99.99% elimination against a continually introduced virus (every 15 mins). The aerosolised testing is unique in the world today in that it was performed in a large 1,280 ft3 chamber to demonstrate the deactivation effect at increasing distances from the technology to simulate real world conditions.

The air purification technology, PHI-CELL®, does not rely on the use of chemicals or harmful substances. In fact, the system works by producing and maintaining similar concentrations of hydrogen-peroxide molecules, as those found in the outside air, thus bringing the outdoors – inside.

The naturally occurring molecules break down the contaminants, after coming into contact with microbials. They are then destroyed and transformed into water vapour and oxygen.

Producing one quadrillion of these molecules every second, airborne viruses and bacteria, like COVID-19, are quickly killed and replaced with harmless water vapour and breathable oxygen.
