The Aerisa System’s ionization approach provides a significant upgrade over the traditional filtration solutions. Applications using Aerisa air treatment will realize a higher success rate compared to traditional solutions including filters, UV, carbon, chemical, bio and PCO.
Typically, Aerisa solutions will remove over 99% of odor-generating airborne chemicals along with many other contaminants. In comparison, traditional solutions will remove from none to at most 80% of the chemicals in the system. In general, the remaining contaminated air is released to the ambient. (Traditional solutions may increase effectiveness by designing a multi-pass system where the air passes through the solution multiple times – this increases costs and effectiveness). In addition to the effectiveness of chemicals removal by Aerisa solutions, treatment using Aerisa will reduce airborne particulates while potentially removing bacterial, fungal, and viral contaminants in the system.

- Fragile media; often requires pre-filter for coarser contaminants.
- Only treats air that passes through effective zone, and within the UV light's path.
- Uses proprietary biological media; failed bio-filtration companies make media replacement difficult and expensive.
