About Āera
Āera is an innovative sanitizer able to eliminate microbial agents (bacteria, viruses, molds, spores) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) from the air and surfaces, neutralizing even allergens and odours.
Thanks to its photocatalytic oxidation (PCO Technology), Āera can be safely used even when people are in the area. The supplementary sanitization method with ozone can be activated on demand and by timer.
Āera improves air quality thanks to the combination of different technologies that are able to guarantee continued protection.
Photocatalytic oxidation is a candidate process technology for use in high volumetric flow rate trace contaminant control applications in sealed environments.
How works Āera?
Āera is both a table and a wall device, connectable to a standard 220V mains electric socket. It has a powerful tangential fan that can guarantee hourly flows of about 400 m3/hour (ca. 14100 ft3). It uses PCO Technology (PhotoCatalytic Oxidation), a 200 million/cm3 (ca. 5 trillion/ft3) ionizer and an ozone generator.
With PCO technology the air is sanitized through a UV rays system which, through the titanium dioxide (TiO2) irradiation found inside the control room, activates the photocatalysis. These can be used throughout the day even in presence of users in the room.
The ionizer allows the continuous generation of millions of negative ions that charge the small particles present in the air (such as dust, pets hair, bacteria, …) enabling them to attract each other. They then become heavier and fall on surfaces before being removed.
It is possible to increase the ozone emission (O3) for a total sanitation of the environments provided it is done in the absence of people and pets.
Inside Āera
Āera’s PCO technology is enclosed in a controller where a PCO cell with a UV lamp is inserted. This controller is coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2), capable of reacting with the ultraviolet radiation and starting the photocatalysis process, spreading the treated air in the environment through the powerful tangential fan.
PCO Tecnology
The PCO technology (Photocatalyc Oxidation) has been developed by NASA in 1995 to preserve a harvest of potato plants aboard a shuttle space and to limit the natural ethylene production which stimulates its ripening.
This technology became much more effective than the original target: it was discovered that photocatalytic oxidation was also capable to eliminate all types of unwanted organic particles from the air such as bacteria, viruses, molds and even bad smells.
The PCO technology reproduces what happens in nature through photocatalysis: thanks to the combined action of the sun UV radiation and some metals found in nature, the process of photocatalysis spreads highly reactive oxidizing ions in the air that are able to decompose most pollutants and toxic substances particularly bacteria, viruses, molds, allergens and odors.
