Understanding PCO & DHP Technology

Advanced semiconductor-based air purification that goes beyond traditional filtration to actually destroy contaminants at the molecular level.

PCO Technology

Photocatalytic Oxidation

Light-Mediated Semiconductor Technology

PCO uses titanium dioxide (TiO2) semiconductor material activated by UV light to create powerful oxidizing reactions. When UV light hits the photocatalyst surface, it generates highly reactive hydroxyl radicals that break down organic compounds, viruses, bacteria, and harmful gases.

  • Pure or doped metal oxide semiconductor material
  • Most commonly uses TiO2 (titanium dioxide)
  • Activated by UV-A (400–315nm) or UV-C (280–200nm) light
  • Creates redox reactions on catalyst surface
  • Breaks down absorbed gases and biological particles
DHP Technology

Dry Hydrogen Peroxide

Gaseous Disinfection Technology

DHP systems generate gaseous hydrogen peroxide that provides powerful disinfection throughout the air and on surfaces. This dry form of hydrogen peroxide is more stable and effective than liquid applications, providing continuous antimicrobial protection.

  • Generates gaseous hydrogen peroxide for disinfection
  • More stable and effective than liquid H₂O₂
  • Provides continuous antimicrobial protection
  • Works on both airborne and surface contaminants
  • Breaks down into harmless water and oxygen
