BioProtector Air Sterilization System (BioProtector)
The Bio Protector Air Sterilization System is a comprehensive ultra-violet (UV) protection for Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling (HVAC) systems in high-threat buildings and homes. BioProtector is a standalone device that is inserted in-line with the air duct of the HVAC system. Air flows into BioProtector, which uses high intensity, Advanced UV System (AUVS) technology to rapidly and effectively destroy any biological organisms that may be present, and then continues through the air duct. BioProtector achieves such high intensity UV by directing the air stream through a reflective cavity. In an approach analogous to that of a microwave cavity, the reflective cavity allows the UV photons to make many transits and the UV intensity is significantly increased.
- High performance system for decontamination of air in HVAC ducting
- Protects personnel in buildings against biological threats
- Kills by uniformly filling duct with high intensity UV light
- Field proven in DARPA and other DoD testing to >6 logs kill of anthrax simulant
- Basic technology developed under DARPA contract (Immune Building)
- Deployed in DoD facilities
