Biozone Scientific TECHNOLOGY PHOTOPLASMA™

The AIR CARE is an excellent tool designed to eliminate unpleasant odours at their source whilst cleaning and freshening the air.

When properly used, the AIR CARE significantly reduces odour and harmful organic compounds in the air and on surfaces. The AIR CARE does not just mask odour with chemicals or perfumes; it actually destroys the odours leaving a cleaner, more pleasant environment.

Biozone Scientific’s advanced Photoplasma™ technology is designed to sustainably enhance indoor environments. It goes beyond conventional cleaning methods by harnessing combination of negative ions, hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, ultraviolet light and ozone.

The elements of Photoplasma™ quickly and actively break down the structure of contaminants by a chain of reactions. Eventually the contaminants are decomposed and converted to harmless molecules such as carbon dioxide and water vapour.

In essence, Biozone Scientifics’s Photoplasma™ advanced technology brings the holistic benefits of the outdoors, where nature’s cleansing mechanisms thrive, directly into our indoor spaces. It ensures a sustainably enhanced, healthier, and more refreshing living environment.

INSTALLATION LOCATION

FAQs

Q1. IS THERE A PREFERRED LOCATION TO INSTALL AN AIR CARE UNIT?

A1: Wall or ceiling mounted – ideal height being 2 – 2.5 m, as close to the odour source as possible and keep away from outgoing air vents as this will remove the valuable Photoplasma™ produced

Q2. WHAT SIZE ROOM CAN THE AIR CARE BE USED IN?

A2: The suitability of the AIR CARE for different room sizes is determined by various factors, such as the Biozone Scientific Photoplasma™ output, airflow, number of odour sources, and more. Sizing information is available on the www.biozonescientific.com website and in the datasheet.

Q3. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE AIR CARE UNIT IS WORKING CORRECTLY?

A3: When operating the unit has a blue light which displays on the front around the lock, furthermore if the odour is significantly reduced and/or removed entirely, the unit is working correctly. If the light is displayed and odours are not significantly reduced  please reconsider the sizing guidelines.

Q4. WILL THE AIR CARE UNIT REMOVE A FRAGRANCE ?

A4: As the Photoplasma™ technology is designed to remove odours, all fragrances will be affected. However, by placing the fragrance and Air care unit in the recommended positions, the desired outcome can be achieved.

Washroom example:

• if the fragrance is positioned at the entrance of a washroom, a user will experience the fragrance when entering and exiting. With the AIR CARE unit positioned above the odour source such as the toilets or urinals, the user will experience a fresh odour-free ambience in this immediate area
