Pyure’s hydroxyl technology is spotlighted in the March 2024 edition of the ASHRAE Journal for its remarkable ability to combat indoor air pollutants and pathogens. Authored by Kishor Khankari, PH.D., Fellow ASHRAE; Connie Araps, PH.D., Member ASHRAE; David Crosley, PH.D., the study, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), presents compelling evidence on the efficacy of our innovative air purification method.

Key findings demonstrate that our technology, already proven to inactivate infectious aerosols, enhances traditional ventilation methods and offers a robust defense against pathogen transmission in indoor spaces.
The study, utilizing advanced CFD simulations, reveals a significant reduction in the probability of infection—by about 38% in the breathing zones of occupants and a 73% decrease in the spread of infection probability at 3 ACH in a simulated office environment.
Dr. Khankari’s CFD model also compared scenarios of 3 ACH ventilation with 2 ACH ventilation + Pyure and found that the spread index was 25% lower with Pyure at 2 ACH than with 3 ACH ventilation alone, also predicting that the addition of Pyure can reduce the required dilution ACH by 33%.
For a deeper dive into the research and to explore Pyure’s hydroxyl technology’s full potential in creating safer indoor environments, we invite you to read the complete study linked here or watch the ASHRAE Journal webinar linked here.
