Before we explain what makes Morphic Envirotech’s technology so unique, there a couple of things that you should know about standard air purifiers…

The first is that there are two kinds of purifiers; which are known as “active” and “passive”.  Active purifiers are ones that permanently destroy particles in the air (most likely using ultraviolet light).  Passive purifiers are really more filters; they trap small particles from the air.  Both of these methods are used by Morphic Envirotech in our signature units.  First the air is “pre-screened” with a filter and then ultraviolet light destroys everything that the filter missed.

Secondly, it is important to realize that ultraviolet (UV-C) light is the industry standard for air purification.  It is used when it really matters that the air is as clean as possible (like in hospitals).  Most active purifiers use UV-C light in some way.  UV-C light is like a laser beam that seeks out carbon-based particles (that includes germs, viruses, allergens, and asthma inducers) and destroys them so that it can’t cause problems in your lungs.  The only problem with UV-C light is that it is so precise that some dangerous particles can get through.

This is where Morphic Envirotech’s technology comes in.  We have created an item that we are calling a Photocatalytic Element.  Within this technology is a special combination of elements which interact with UV-C lights and turns that normally “laser precision” light into a “mine field” which carbon-based items simply can’t escape.  So, instead of having to run a quantity of air past a UV-C light two or three times to ensure that everything is destroyed, air only has to pass through our unit once to exit the other side completely free of undesirable particles.  This means a more efficient and reliable purification than with UV-C light alone.

That is the simplest way that we could think of to describe the technology; our Photocatalytic Elements interact with UV-C light to multiply the purification effects.  If you are still curious about exactly what happens within the unit we had our Chief Scientist, David Day, write a more thorough and scientific explanation.  You can read the more detailed explanation here.
