Clean air for sealed facilities

In-duct electrostatic air cleaning that plugs into the HVAC and environmental control systems of closed-loop buildings.

01 What we do

Sealed facilities recirculate the same air. Dust, metal particles and oxidants build up unless something removes them in-line. We are developing a modular air-cleaning unit that fits inside existing air handlers to do that.

Data centers

High-volume recirculated cooling air where fine dust affects hardware.

Advanced reactor sites

Auxiliary and non-safety buildings at small modular and advanced reactor sites.

Underground & hardened

Deep underground and hardened facilities that run on closed-loop air.

Industrial & mining

Mines, tunnels and industrial plants with heavy particulate loads.

02 How it works

Proven building blocks, combined into one retrofit module on a common flange pattern.

Separate

A magnetic pre-stage pulls out iron and manganese dust first.

Charge

Particles pick up an electric charge as they pass the ionizing stage.

Collect

Charged particles land on grounded, coated collector plates.

Polish

A catalyst layer breaks down ozone, targeting 5 ppb or less, with HEPA where required.

Externally powered. The unit is a net energy consumer; we make no over-unity claims.
Energy use, pressure drop and ozone are measured, not assumed.

03 Where we are

Decon Air is an early-stage company. Here is the honest status:

A 1-meter test rig is designed and planned.
Our test site will be in Carbon County, Utah.
Early testing will use standard, non-hazardous test dusts only.
We are preparing an application to the NSF SBIR program.
