Odor and Smoke remediation
contractors utilize 3000 to 10,000 mg/hr ozone generators
to remove odors or smoke from fire damaged homes for instance.
Ozone is the most popular way to oxidize odors. We sell a 3500 mg/h commercial ozone generator for $299 if you want to "do it yourself" and save hundreds. The dilemma
is that you can't breath the air when high concentrations
of ozone are present as it will irritate the lungs and
eyes. (NOTE: Ozone is not a toxic gas as the EPA states.
It's used to clean the water, blood, and even has medical
applications. If it were indeed a "toxic gas" that
would not be the case).
Recently, science has discovered that photocatalytic oxidation is 1.5 times more powerful than ozone at oxidizing odors and removing contaminants from the air. For a whole house solution, take a look at the Pure Indoor PCO induct unit for $299 or the stand alone PCO air purifier from Pure Indoor the FS-10. The best PCO HEPA machine in the world is the Airpura P600. The best filterless PCO air purifier is the IZ-PCO that also features 1200 CFM for the highest air moving capability on the market.
You should also take a look
at Odor Ban furnace
filters and our furnace carbon filter pads. Those pleated carbon filters will remove a great
deal of odors and VOC's. Ozone regenerate carbon by
oxidizing contaminants stored in the carbon, so placing
the Air Oasis Xtreme near your HVAC air return when utilizing
Odor Ban filters is a great idea and a great way of addressing
odors on a "whole home" basis.
HEPA machines
that address odors include the Airpura
T-600, Airpura
V-600 and Airpura
C-600 as well as the Allerair
DS and Allerair
VOC series.
