Indoor Air Purification – Bipolar Ionization

Purify and freshen indoor air

STERIONIZER™ - Bipolar Ionization Technology for Industry and Home

The STERIONIZER™ is an air purification device based upon a patented bipolar ionization technology, specifically developed to bring the health and quality of nature’s air to indoor environments.

In natural habitats, solar and earth-based thermal energies create positive and negative oxygen ions that clean and renew outdoor air by removing harmful pollutants, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores. Indoors, ions become exhausted from combating pollutants: closed, energy-efficient spaces lack the natural sources of ion generation, and the ‘natural’ healthy ion levels required for healthy living are reduced to practically non-existent. The STERIONIZER™ generates these same positive and negative ions – just like those found in nature – restoring the necessary ion levels in closed spaces.

How it works: the charged oxygen molecules O₂⁺ and O₂⁻ have high chemical activity. When reacting with water molecules in the air, H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide) is formed. A chemical reaction occurs and oxidants break down the protein structure of pollutants, rendering them harmless. The STERIONIZER™ system keeps air ducts, air heat exchangers and air handling units clean and supplies ionized air in enclosed areas. Each ionizing device is completely maintenance free and can be connected to a data-bus for supervision and monitoring.

Ion generation can be either unipolar, when only one polarity ion is generated, or bipolar, when ions of both polarities are generated. Unlike unipolar ionization, the minimal and maximal ionization levels, as well as equipment requirements for bipolar ionization, are determined and regulated by the industry’s appropriate standards, ensuring a consistent, quality product. The STERIONIZER™ modules are protected by several patents worldwide.

Benefits to Human Health

Natural air is enriched by negative and positive ions, generated by ultra-violet radiation from the sun. These ions are part of the air’s composition and are essential to the human body and health. Yet these ions are absent in closed environments. Air de-ionization in a closed environment has a negative effect on human health, causing headaches, fatigue, irritability and poor alertness.

90% of our time is spent indoors, where there is no ionization source, and indoor air contains many kinds of invisible pollutants – making it 3-5 times more polluted than outdoor air.

Why bipolar ionization should be used in all indoor environments:

  • Continuous deactivation of viruses, bacteria, mould, spores and allergens
  • Odour neutralization and volatile organic compound control
  • Reduces allergic side effects – in the USA alone there are over 50 million people with allergies and over 15 million people with asthma
  • Continuous discharge of electrostatic fields
  • Designed for simple integration with existing systems
  • Compliant with the American standards for ozone generation

Indoor Air Treatment Systems

Note: The test scenarios were designed to observe the ability of negatively and positively charged ions to have a quantifiable effect on pathogens. The studies were done in a small sized environment to control as many variables as possible. When the system is applied to different sized environments, the results will scale with the variables present and the ion concentration present. FILT AIR makes no claims to the overall efficacy of any STERIONIZER™ product; the experiment results are solely applicable to the device used in the trial in a small sized environment.

The STERIONIZER™ is RoHS, CE, CB & UL certified and compliant with the American standard for ozone generation.

> Air Filters

Panel / Compact Filters

One of the most common air filtration products (high efficiency filtration) are panel filters and compact filters, applied in a variety of industries. These include filters for HVAC, cleanrooms, clean environments, healthcare facilities, laboratories, and more.

Both the panel filter and the compact filter (also known as v-shape or v-bank filter) are based on a pleated structure. It is this structure that allows greater quantities of air to pass through the filter, while reducing pressure and accumulating more dust and particles within the filter due to increase of the filtration area.

The Filt-Air panel filters and compact filters offer customers advantages:

  • Septal sizes tailored to your needs. In addition to standard filter sizes, we are able to deliver almost any size required.
  • Precise pleating technology. This unique capability ensures greater efficiency and durability over time.
  • Customized production of filter frames using a variety of materials (including. ABS, coated steel, and stainless steel), latches and handles, to meet specific standards and regulations.

Terminal Filter

Clean environments often require terminal filters that can be connected directly to the air supply or the planum.

Clean areas such as cleanrooms face a range of filter challenges, including lack of ceiling space, filter maintenance, and filter replacement. Yet with our terminal filters, you need not worry.

Over the past two decades, Filt-Air has delivered large quantities of terminal filters to a range of facilities and industries, including pharma, security, and microelectronics.

The Filt-Air terminal filters provide a range of unique advantages, including:

  • Innovative designs
  • Flexible filter housing sizes

Gas Absorption Filter

Also referred to as carbon filters, the Filt-Air gas absorption filters prevent penetration of gases into a given space. These gas absorption filters differ from partial filtration solutions (such as Fine Dust, HEPA, and ULPA), as they contain active carbon that can absorb a variety of gases. The filters may contain either granules of active carbon or a combined particle filtration media that is soaked with carbon – to ensure optimal outcomes.

The use of carbon filters is of the utmost importance for industries who deal with harmful gases, including biological institutes, chemistry manufacturers, radioactive research centers, and semiconductor manufacturers. In addition, these are widely used by defense authorities for protection against CBRN threats.

Our main advantage in the field of gas absorption filters is that we are a member of the BE Group, who began their activity in this field more than 50 years ago.

Join our long list of customers around the world who already benefit from Filt-Air products.

Power Stations / Gas Turbines

In today’s world, gas turbines are one of the most widely used power generating technologies. Gas turbines are a type of internal combustion engine, in which the burning of an air-fuel mixture produces hot gases that spin turbines, converting them into power.

As this process consumes huge quantities of air, it needs to be treated properly. Air contains a variety of elements, especially different sized particles – which could affect the efficiency of such power stations or even seriously damage them.

By employing innovative engineering capabilities, Filt-Air’s gas turbine filters enable increased air quantities combined with decreased pressure drops. This is especially important as poor inlet filtration could lead to significant erosion of surfaces (by approx. 10-micron particles), fouling of compressor blades (by 2–10-micron particles), and corrosion due to salts and acids. As such degradation processes are irreversible, they could result in serious damage to extremely costly turbines, while decreasing power generation.

> Indoor Air Purification

STERIONIZER™ - Bipolar Ionization Modules

The STERIONIZER™ is an air purification device based upon a patented bipolar ionization technology, specifically developed to bring the health and quality of nature’s air to indoor environments. It generates the same positive and negative oxygen ions found in nature, which purify and freshen indoor air by eliminating harmful pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores. The compact modules integrate easily into air conditioners, ventilation and duct systems, air purifiers, refrigeration and more.

ION PRODUCTS - Ready-to-Install Ionization Units

Ready-to-install STERIONIZER™ ion products for every situation: air ducts and round duct systems, air handling units, indoor air conditioners and non-standard air supply systems – from single rooms up to large AHU installations with airflows of 36,000 m³/h. All units are maintenance free and connect to any building management system via Modbus.

Ionization Technology

In natural habitats, solar and earth-based thermal energies create positive and negative oxygen ions that clean and renew outdoor air. Indoors, these ions are practically non-existent – air conditioning systems act like de-ionizers, and de-ionized air causes headaches, drowsiness and rapid fatigue.

The STERIONIZER™ restores natural ion levels: charged oxygen molecules O₂⁺ and O₂⁻ react with water molecules in the air to form H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide), which breaks down the protein structure of pollutants, rendering them harmless. Health benefits are confirmed by leading international research institutions, with efficacy of up to 99% against bacteria, fungus, spores and viruses – including SARS-CoV-2.

Read More - Ionization Technology

Applications & Proven Efficacy

The STERIONIZER™ can be integrated into a wide range of applications: home and public building air conditioners, automotive and aviation systems, air purifiers, duct and ventilation systems, humidifiers, refrigeration and cold storage, elevators and static control. The disinfection concept is also an excellent solution for food processing, packaging and storage areas with critical air purity requirements.

Efficacy testing carried out with research organizations globally (EMSL Analytical USA, Istanbul University, Kitasato Research Center Japan, Innovative Bioanalysis USA and more) showed up to 99% removal of harmful substances. The STERIONIZER™ is RoHS, CE, CB & UL certified and compliant with the American standard for ozone generation.
