Advanced Oxidation Air Systems
The RGF PHI Air Purification Plan
The RGF Photohydroionization (PHI) Air Purification Plan utilizes an advanced oxidation process that produces Hydroxyl
Radicals, Superoxide Ions , and Hydroperoxides at a “passive” ozonation level at or below the Federal government recommended
level of 0.04 ppm for occupied areas. This line of air purifers has been designed not to exceed the legal levels
for occupied spaces while providing adequate airborne purification with several different models capable of treating various
sized areas.
The Photohydroionization (PHI) systems have demonstrated in lab tests greater than 90% reductions of airborne microbials
while also providing a means of reducing odors.
The RGF Commercial Ozone Air Treatment Plan
The RGF Commercial Air Treatment Plan is to utilize a total program of training with particular emphasis on safety. The
RGF plan is to evacuate the area to be deodorized, treat the area with a sufficient dose to destroy all the odor causing molecules
(usually 1 ppm) of residual ozone, and ventilate the area before reoccupying. RGF offers a complete air treatment
plan which includes a training course, testing, and certification. These non-occupied space units are for high level oxidation
which produce residual ozone levels that far exceed occupied space levels. These systems are designed for short term
high level treatment of problem areas.
Ozone produced by Corona Discharge (CD) has a higher concentration by weight than ozone produced by Ultraviolet Light
(UV). However, air treatment usually requires large volumes of low ozone concentration (1-2 ppm) to effectively treat air.
CD produced ozone requires extra energy and effort to compress, dry, produce, and then dilute the produced ozone. In
comparison, UV produced ozone needs no air pretreatment and is produced at the ideal concentrations to be used to
destroy airborne odors and VOC’s. Accordingly, UV ozone generators are preferred for ozone air treatment.
Applications
The Turbozone ® Advanced Oxidation Air Treatment Systems can destroy by oxidation the following airborne
substances:
• Smoke
• Mold
• Mildew
• Bacteria
• VOC’s
• Yeast
• Urine
• Fungus
• Odors
• Pollen
• Hydrocarbons
• Hydrogen Sulfide
• Ammonia
• Ketones
Air Treatment Sizing Formula
Use the following formula for calculating air treatment times necessary to treat a room.
Square Feet x Height of Room = Cubic Feet
Cubic Feet / CFM of RGF System = Minutes needed to turn air
over in a room one time.
Minutes / 60 = Hours needed to turn air over in a room one time.
Example for Turbozone ® Models 1000 & 7000:
10’ L x 12’ W x 8’ H room = 960 cubic feet
960 cu. ft. / 45 CFM = 21 minutes to turn room over once
The amount of time necessary to sterilize an area with ozone depends upon the temperature, humidity level and the
amount of reactive substances (odors). For effective treatment, it is recommended to turn rooms over at least 3 times.
