Unlocking Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Excellence in Food Processing and Wastewater Treatment

At Rockwell Automation Fair this year, we were honored to be selected to present a partner technical session to the 10,000+ attendees. Our CEO, Mahyar Khosravi, presented two sessions titled “Air Purification Innovation Improves Safety and Expense in Food Processing & Wastewater Treatment.” Drop us a line, and we will email you the presentation deck.

Don’t Have Time for the Presentation? Here is a Summary:

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an often-overlooked component of public health and operational efficiency. The pandemic has shown that indoor air can be a conduit for pathogens, microorganisms, and pollutants. Pyure’s advanced air and surface purification solutions are rapidly changing how industries approach IAQ, with notable impacts in food processing and wastewater treatment.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters More Than Ever

IAQ is crucial not only for health but also for economic and operational sustainability. Poor IAQ can lead to respiratory health issues, absenteeism, productivity losses, and skyrocketing healthcare costs. Poor air quality in food processing and wastewater treatment industries exacerbates risks like product contamination, regulatory violations, and operational inefficiencies.

An Innovative Approach: Hydroxyl Radical Technology

Pyure harnesses the power of hydroxyl radicals—nature’s cleaning agents—to neutralize airborne and surface contaminants. By mimicking the sun’s natural processes, our technology produces hydroxyls and organic oxidants that deactivate air and surface pathogens, reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and improve air quality without disrupting operations.

How Pyure’s Hydroxyl Works

• Nature-inspired cleaning: UV light interacts with water vapor to produce millions of hydroxyl radicals per cubic centimeter (the same concentration as the sun, which is critical for efficacy).
• Comprehensive impact: These radicals break down pollutants, creating a cascade effect of safe and natural oxidants that extend their cleansing power to the entire space, including surfaces and hard-to-reach areas.
• Safe for continuous use: Pyure systems are designed for occupant safety and can operate 24/7, maintaining optimal protection

Proven Results Across Industries

Food Processing: Reducing Contamination Risks

In food processing, ambient air often serves as the largest contact surface, making it a vector for pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes and E. coli. Pyure technology:

• Continuously decontaminates air and surfaces. The air does not have to travel through the area’s air filtration system to capture the contaminants, and it is ongoing, not a point in Time like chemical treatments.
• By minimizing spoilage organisms and ethylene, product spoilage is reduced, and product shelf life is extended.
• Reducing microorganisms means reducing the risk of costly recalls and improving bottom-line results and the business’s reputation.

Wastewater Treatment: Tackling Odors and Corrosion

Wastewater plants deal with hazardous gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia, which threaten worker health, corrode equipment, and cause community odor complaints. Pyure’s solutions:

• Significantly lower H2S concentrations, reducing corrosion and extending equipment lifespan.
• Minimize odors, enhancing community relationships and compliance with regulations.
