2. NEED
Heightened interest about disinfection and
cleaning
Prevention is always better than cure
Protection from COVID-19 – issue of the day
Most common mode of transmission of SARS-
Cov-2
Air-borne respiratory droplets (including those
attached to particulates) – droplet transmission
Direct contact with infected persons
Direct contact with infected surfaces
Indoor Air Purifier 2
3. GOALS
Removal of particulate matter
Removal of harmful gaseous matter
Deactivation/elimination of pathogenic
constituents – fungus, bacteria, viruses
Indoor Air Purifier 3
4. CHALLENGES
Rapid, effective, and safe (non-toxic and not
corrosive)
Removal of ultra-fine particulate matter (~0.3
µm) removal – with more than 99.9% efficiency
Removal of harmful gaseous matter – with more
than 99.9% efficiency
Deactivation/elimination of pathogens (fungus,
bacteria, viruses) – with more than 99.99%
efficiency
Very limited engineering alternatives

5. CHALLENGES …
A pathogen-toxin neutralization technology is
needed
Destroy a wide range of pathogens (spores,
bacteria, and viruses) and chemical toxins in air
in real time
Not introduce secondary contamination into the
air handling system
Must work in real time
Capable of handling large volumes of moving
air

6. PULIRE AIR PURIFIER
NOT a simple purifier
Combination of air “Sanitiser/Sterliser” and air
Filter
Traps ultra-fine dust particles
Remove allergens
Eliminates VOCs and other toxic gases
Kills airborne viruses, bacteria, pollens, molds,
and fungi spores
Eliminates odour

10. PHOTO-CATALYTIC OXIDATION
Use of UV – for two stages of disinfection
Germicidal UV-C for direct disinfection
Photo-catalytic oxidation
TiO2 (catalyst) nano-particles coating on tubes
UV-A action on TiO2 generates hydroxyl (OH–) radicals
from water in the air
Hydroxyl radicles are very small and agile, but very
short-lived
Indoor Air Purifier 10
11. PHOTO-CATALYTIC OXIDATION …
Extremely reactive and are able to oxidise most of the
chemicals found in the atmosphere
Oxidation potential hydroxyl radical (~2.85 eV) is
much more than that of hydrogen peroxide (~1.77 eV)
and ozone (~2.07 eV)
React with organic components breaking their
chemical bonds
Break cellular structure and nuclear material
(DNA/RNA)
Hydroxyl radical are, therefore, known as the
“detergent of the atmosphere”
