More than 20 years after NASA put the first man on the moon, NASA began to prepare for future man missions into deep space by growing their own fruit and vegetables in space. They had to find a way to reduce ethylene gas which was destroying the plants and vegetables when they would ripen. NASA developed an ethylene scrub air purification machine using a titanium dioxide catalyst in conjunction with UV lamps to remove the ethylene gas. Subsequent tests revealed that this PCO/TiO2 technology also helped destroy harmful organisms such as bacteria that passed through the system.

Air Oasis has utilized this early NASA technology to develop a line of air purifiers. Every Air Oasis air purifier contains a PCO Cell coated with our proprietary nano Nickel HCT catalyst that is permanently bonded to the PCO cell structure. When photons from the germicidal UVC lamp excite water and oxygen molecules on the catalyst surface, catalytic molecules, including hydroxyl radicals, are formed. Organic compounds that collide with the catalyst are greatly reduced. The Air Oasis air purifiers have been tested by Nabarun Ghosh Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biology, Department of Life, Earth and Environmental Sciences at West Texas A&M University. They have been proven to greatly reduce mold, bacteria, VOCs and other aeroallergens.

 

The proprietary patent-pending Air Oasis nano Nickel HCT catalyst is superior to any PCO catayst currently on the market. Imitation air purifiers use cheap titanium dioxide (TiO2) alone as a catalyst. TiO2 is the cheapest, most available catalyst metal on the market. It's often used as the white pigment in standard house paint costing only pennies. The nano Nickel HCT contains five rare catalyst metals. We also use nano size metals to increase the kinetic rate of reaction.

Our American made UV lamps utilize a proprietary LongLife coating allowing them to outlast any UV lamp on the market. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations.

LongLife™ Specialty Lamp Coating

Our proprietary LongLife+™ technology is a specialty coating which can be applied to all our germicidal lamp products, eliminating the common problem of accelerated depreciation associated with higher intensity lamps.

A standard quartz lamp maintains 65% of its UVC output at 9,000 hours. With LongLife+™ technology, our UVC lamps maintain up to 80% of their output at 16,000 hours *.

* Life claim testing done under laboratory conditions. Actual performances depend on operating conditions.

How LongLife+™ Works
We apply a chemical compound to the inside of our lamps, enabling them to be longer lasting and more efficient.

Economically Efficient
With LongLife+™ technology, our OEM customers can run our UVC lamps longer with fewer lamp replacements and improved end-of-life performance.

Environmentally Friendly
Because our LongLife+™ technology allows for fewer lamp replacements, lamp waste is reduced over the lifetime of operations. Waste reduction minimizes recycling processes, which helps maintain our valuable natural resources.

 
     
By utilizing a broad spectrum 254 nm UV light we achieve the same oxidizing and ionizing benefits found in nature, created by the sun. By combining the UV light with our patent-pending nano Nickel HCT™ catalyst we achieve unparalleled results.
