Our photocatalytic nanomaterial uses groundbreaking technology

for pollutants removal and air disinfection.

Photocatalytic
engines

Our photocatalytic engine is made of a photocatalytic material with an activating LED light source. It can be installed modularly in a number of end devices (such as air purifiers, ceiling lamps, windows). Capacity can be increased by adding more engines to the system.

Benefits:

  • Plus The photocatalytic material doesn’t require any replacements as in traditional filters. The semiconductor process of matter oxidation under the influence of light takes place on its surface
  • Plus One layer removes 99.99% of air pollutants at a speed of 1 m/s. For every 1 m/s increase in flow velocity, the additional layer is required. (2 m/s - two layers, 5 m/s - five layers, etc.)
  • Plus Our engine can be used by companies with no experience in light source design
  • Plus Engine design is scalable in terms of size. The largest engine we have delivered so far was 400x400mm
  • Plus It’s possible to use different quality of LEDs and optics to optimise the product price
  • Plus Standard LED drivers can be used as a power source. We also offer unique 230V LED modules

in comparison

UV-C sterilisers vs photocatalytic engines from Nanosci

Our photocatalytic engine is 7 times more energy efficient than a UV-C lamp and lasts 5 times longer.

*Comparative study conducted by the Institute of Biotechnology of the Agricultural and Food Industry prof. Wacław Dąbrowski, Food Quality Department in Łódź. Own methodology using the MAS-100 ECOTM microbiological air sampler. The device is equipped with a single UVC lamp PL-L 36W/4P, 2G11 and a fan with a usable capacity of 68 m3/h (fan capacity 106 m3/h).

of air purification

Photocatalytic
materials

Our photocatalytic layers can be used in various air-purifying structures. Layers are developed and manufactured by Nanosci.

Benefits:

  • Plus Prolonged lifespan of our photocatalytic material (counted in years), eliminates the need for replacement
  • Plus Photocatalytic material is activated by safe UV light with a wavelength of 360nm, coming from efficient LEDs
  • Plus Very good pollutant removal efficiency to energy consumption ratio (up to 3x less compared to UVC disinfection)
  • Plus Can be used in various shapes and sizes
  • Plus Good mechanical strength
  • Plus Low pressure drop across the ceramic porous layer (19 Pa)

Titanium dioxide
nanotubes

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes are formed directly on the carrier material (a sheet of titanium foil). Nanotubes dimensions (length, diameter, and wall thickness) can be precisely regulated by the synthesis parameters, which affect their photocatalytic activity. Shaped titanium pieces covered with TiO2 nanotubes could be easily incorporated as a photocatalytic layer in a photocatalytic engine. The manufacturing method of a thin layer of oriented TiO2 nanotubes has been patent-pending.

Specification:

  • icon Highly developed surface
  • icon No die deposition step
  • icon Increased absorption of radiation (reflection effect)​
  • icon Very high air cleaning efficiency​
  • icon Ideal for wearable air purifiers

Possible
applications:

  • icon Small-sized devices, e.g. respiratory masks
  • icon Used in devices with a small cross-sectional area caused by design or technological limitations

Ceramic photocatalytic layers
coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2)

Made of a porous ceramic structure evenly covered with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. Porous photocatalytic layers can vary in size (including shape and thickness) and porosity depending on customer needs and potential applications. Manufacturing of porous photocatalytic materials on a semi-industrial scale has been patent-pending.

Specification:

  • icon Manufactured with renewable raw materials
  • icon Currently in production
  • icon Flexibility in shapes and dimensions
  • icon Low pressure drop (only 19 Pa)
  • icon Can be washed in the dishwasher or regenerated by UV radiation without a decrease in efficiency
  • icon High air purification efficiency
  • icon Ideal for air purifiers
  • icon Easy to scale (by resizing or multiplying the number of photocatalytic layers)
  • icon Long stability and activity of layers in working conditions

Possible
applications:

  • icon Portable air purifiers
  • icon Wall-mounted air purifiers installed in apartments
  • icon Purifiers in offices and vehicles
  • icon As photocatalytic modules permanently installed in air-conditioning systems

Photocatalytic materials
in comparison

Purification effectiveness results from the air retention time in the porous irradiated structure. Therefore, heavy pollution or high air velocity (> 1 m/s) requires the use of two or more photocatalytic layers in the cross-section of the device.

LED
light sources

We offer standard UV LED modules for photocatalytic devices, as well as custom-designed LED modules for customised purifiers and air disinfection devices. We have many years of experience in designing light sources and power supply systems.

Benefits:

  • Plus Precise selection of light emitters and optical systems to provide the required amount of energy
  • Plus Modules optimised for heat dissipation and energy consumption
  • Plus Ability to supply power with constant or alternating voltage
  • Plus Assistance in designing the end device using LED modules
  • Plus Prototyping and mass production

Our technologyallows our clientsto develop:

  • Air purifying LED panel fixture
    595x595mm

    Adapted to be installed in place of standard raster lighting fixtures with dimensions of 595x595mm. The device combines lighting and disinfection. There’s no need to create an additional power circuit for air purifiers, which reduces installation costs.

  • Ceiling suspended or busbar mounted
    air purifier

    Our solution ensures uniform air purification in the occupied spaces. Ceiling suspension is the optimal choice when it comes to air circulation efficiency. The solution can be used in spaces with or without mechanical ventilation.

  • Vandal-proof air purifier for elevators
    and mass means of transportation

    Small, crowded spaces pose the greatest threat when it comes to the transmission of airborne diseases. For elevators and public transport, we offer vandal-proof, ceiling-mounted metal air purifiers.
