nir-vana innovation network

For 12+ years this portable air purifier has been supplied to Scandanavian hospitals. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the technology has now been made available & accessible to businesses globally.

This UK company is currently supplying 1000+ units per month around the world. They are now seeking commercial agency & distribution agreements across Europe.

Independent scientific laboratories have documented the air purifier has a 99.97% effectiveness of removing airborne bacteria, impurities & viruses (including the coronavirus family). It is further effective against pollen, allergens, mold spores, yeast, dust & odors.

Using patented technology that combines HEPA filters & Ultraviolet light, it is portable, lightweight & plug-and-play. The air purifier is effective for use in multiple use settings.

Use cases include care homes, gyms, restaurants, offices, hotels, private hospitals, public hospitals, laboratories, universities, museums, schools, cafes, dentists, yoga studios, retail shops, nurseries, clinics, airports, kindergartens & beauty salons.

With a large air cleaning capacity of 560m³/hour (equivalent to a room size of 120m²) the company is offering hospital-grade air purification, at affordable commercial rates. For larger spaces such as open-plan offices or hospital wards, multiple units can be used in combination.

Previous scientific testing has proven >99.97% effectiveness in removing the following airborne bacteria, impurities & viruses:

1) Parainfluenza.
2) Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
3) Paramyxovirus.
4) Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
5) Francisella tularensis.
6) Haemophilus influenzae.
7) Orthomyxovirus - Influenza.
8) Klebsiella pneumoniae.
9) Adenovirus.
10) Reovirus.
11) Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
12) Pseudomonas pseudomallei.
13) Legionella pneumophila.
14) Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
15) Corynebacteria diphtheria.
16) Streptococcus pyogenes.
17) Haemophilus parainfluenzae.

Advantages & innovations

The unique composition of the technology makes the difference in performance. The air purifier uses ISO29463 standard HEPA13 filtration. The HEPA13 filter traps airborne impurities as small as 0.3 microns. Ultraviolet light is directed onto the HEPA13 filter surface, hence putting the trapped pathogens under constant exposure. This exposure breaks down the impurities at cellular level hence destroying all trapped impurities (including coronaviruses). This technology is patented by the company. Destruction of pathogens on the surface of the HEPA13 filter reduces the potential for contact with hazardous material during filter change. Filter change is only required every 9000 operating hours, can take place on-site, within 6 minutes & without the need for a biohazard suit, nor the need to close facilities whilst undertaking the service. No installation is required. It is a stand alone unit that simply needs to be plugged in to a power outlet. It can work in parallel to an existing inbuilt HVAC system & won't interfere with the airflow. Rather, it optimises airflow. Key advantages: - Portable. - Lightweight (18kg). - Hospital-grade. - Scientifically tested. - Chemical-free. - Ozone-free. - Quiet whilst running. - Cheaper than a fridge to run (<$0.02/hour). - Traps & kills impurities inc Coronavirus. - Outperforms competitors' efficacy. - Large processing capacity 560m³/hour (20,000ft³/hour). - High quality components mean long lifespan. - Automatic particle counter to measure the air quality in real-time. - Common Era (CE) marking certificate available. - Scientific certificates & independent laboratory test results available to validate performance. - 110V & 240V versions for US & European markets respectively.
