How does Destratification work?
Destratification systems optimise heating by capturing the heat at the higher ceiling levels and forcing it downwards. To optimise cooling the fans are installed lower than the ceiling height and focus on circulating the cooled air supplied by AC systems evenly within the space. Destratification fans work by continuously circulating a column of air from the ceiling to the floor, mixing the stratified air to create a comfortable environment for your business. These fans help to balance the temperature of the air so you don't have to overheat or over cool the room to maintain comfort.
What’s the science behind the Air Purification?
The electrostatic positive or negatively charged ions in the air immediately agglomerate (clump together). This ionisation of the particles makes them larger and heavier which allows them to be removed by HVAC filtration or by dropping out of the air/falling to the ground.
Ionised Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is the key active component of this technology for effectively killing viruses, bacteria, mould spores and reducing VOC’s continuously in real time!
HALO LED® units utilise proprietary mercury and ozone free LED-UV bulbs. These project UV energy at specific wavelengths onto a proprietary catalyst to promote the conversion of naturally occurring water vapour, into ‘safe to breathe’ outdoor concentrations of ionised Hydrogen Peroxide.
The Photohydroionisation process converts water vapour molecules (H2O) that pass through the PHI-CELL into large numbers of ionised Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) molecules.
Airborne molecules of ionised Hydrogen Peroxide are effective at deactivating all types of harmful bacteria, viruses, allergens, moulds and odour compounds that may be present both in the air and on surfaces. The concentrations of ionised Hydrogen Peroxide molecules is similar to ambient outdoor concentrations making the treated indoor air perfectly safe to breathe.
What products are available for Air Purification?
We have a huge range of products available depending on the issue you have. We recommend contacting us so that we can discuss with you the best solution. It’s likely we will want to conduct a site visit to inspect the building prior to quoting you for any products, this ensures we are providing you with the correct product to suit your requirements and the type of building its going into. You may already have infrastructure which can be utilised for example!
The Lloyds Building - City Of London
Lloyds promotes its use of the HALO-LED™ technology as a key feature of its enhanced health and safety strategy following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in January 2022, stating "Each cubic inch of air emitted by our central air conditioning is purified by the REME Halo in-duct air purifier system, universally recognised as one of the best solutions for building air purification.”
BUPA Care Home
The HALO ROVE and REME ION units were installed on 21/22 October 2021. Prior to the installation on 20 Oct 2021, 5 ATP swab locations were identified and a single set of 5 control readings were taken. A second set of 5 ATP swabbings were taken at the same locations on 4 Nov 2021. ATP measurements showed an average 66.67% reduction in potentially harmful microbial contaminations across the 5 swab locations.
Birmingham Airport
The installation was performed by Birmingham Airport’s FM Carter Synergy. This was following review of the Package PHI product, technology, safety and efficacy credentials by independent, accredited labs and universities. These reviews were in line with recommendations in official guidance and various client case studies. Since the installation passenger numbers through the airport have increased significantly.
