Eden Gardens Assisted Living Community – Air Purification & Odour Control

Challenge

Eden Gardens was struggling to maintain a fresh and healthy environment in their assisted living community.

In particular, their Alzheimer’s unit was losing an average of three residents per month due to dissatisfaction over the air quality or illness, such as pneumonia. This represented a £60,500 loss, or more than 100% annual turnover in residents each year.

Solution

The PureAir Series from Airius is a brilliantly simple system.

By adding air purification cells to our patented destratification fans, our customers can reduce airborne contaminants and also bacteria and viruses on surfaces. The fans also eliminate many volatile organic compounds, which creates a fresh-smelling environment without the need for chemical cover-ups.

PureAir Technology Explained

How does the PureAir Series PHI Cell kill bacteria and viruses in the air and on surfaces?

The PureAir PhotoHydroIonisation (PHI) Cell is a kind of UV light that emits advanced oxidation plasma. Included as part of a fan system, the PHI cell distributes hydro-peroxides, superoxide ions and hydroxide
ions throughout the space, neutralising 99% of micro-organisms in the air and on surfaces.

PHI cells produce a group of oxidants known as hydroperoxides. Far from new to our world, hydroperoxides have been around for 3.5 billion years – and today they are commonly used in food processing environments, where they offer an anti-microbial treatment without leaving chemical residues.
