There are four odor control technologies on the market today.
CosaTron – Is a patented high tech means to accelerate a well understood phenomenon in physics, i.e. the natural process of coagulation or particulates, thereby reducing the contaminants in the air.
Activated Carbon Filtration – this technique involves forcing the air circulating within the HVAC system through an activated carbon filter in order to filter out odors and pathogens that may pose a public health risk. This method is used alone or in combination with other technologies such as electrostatic precipitators. This method requires the least amount of energy.
Negative Ion Generation – These machines are commonly referred to as electrostatic precipitators. They use a negative charge to attract positively charged particles in the air. The charged particles are attracted to the metal filters, which over time, will become concentrated with particles and require cleaning with water on a regular basis.
Ozone Generators – Ozone can be effective at breaking down odors but at a huge he alt risk to the people in the space. Excessive and unmonitored use of ozone has been shown to be extremely dangerous. This technology requires large energy consumption to operate as well.
Masking Agents – There are odor masking equipment that can be used for temporary localized odor control. This method is not recommended to control odors or remove odor causing contaminants alone.
