- Capture, Hold and Kill bacteria, viruses, molds and fungi
- 4x particle holding capacity of conventional HEPA filter
 utilizes an advanced  technology to capture microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, mold and fungi and submicron airborne particles, with efficiencies exceeding standard HEPA grade filters, and kill these microorganisms at extremely high kill rates, with the application of the energy field that permeates through the filter media.
The filtration of bacteria and viruses from indoor air is hindered by two characteristics of the organisms:
1) extremely small size and 2) the ability to reproduce. The typical diameter of viruses and bacteria ranges from 0.01µm to a few micrometers. It is well known that the effective filtration of particles less than 1µm is difficult. It is also known that organisms captured by a filter can reproduce on the filter surface and migrate through the filter, necessitating frequent filter changes.
eHEPA™ technology combines the use of a high energy field with traditional HEPA filtration process to address and overcome the challenges and inefficiencies associated with microbe capture and reproduction on the filter surface, and re-contamination of the airflow. Generation of active species through the high energy field and the permeation of these species and the energy field through the filter media have been shown to be very effective in the capture and
destruction of the smallest of microorganisms.
The enhancement of media capture efficiey with exposure to a high energy field is illustrated below by extensive laboratory testing at MIT.
The same energetic principle is utilized in the technology, whereby a specially designed HEPA filter is sandwiched between an active and passive electrode that applies an energy field which bombards the filter with active species and permeates the filter to polarize the smallest of the fibers in the filter media. This effect tremendously enhances the capture efficiency of the filter for the smallest particles and microorganisms. This bombardment action and energy field will also effectively destroy and kills the organisms as indicated by independent laboratory testing and experiments.
