Farm’s Air Purification System: Makes COVID “Undetectable” After 24 Hours

In April 2020, we shared information about the revolutionary air purification system by Extreme Microbial Technologies that we are now using in our packing and shipping areas. At that time, we had anecdotal evidence that this system was effective against bacteria and viruses—but the validation studies hadn’t been completed yet.

Well, guess what? Extreme Microbial Technologies is the first company to have empirical validation—in other words, outside independent evidence—that its system effectively tackles COVID.


According to the University of Florida, this system provides the following resulting when fighting against COVID:

  • 73% reduction after 15 minutes

  • 94% reduction after 60 minutes

  • 98% reduction after 4 hours

  • Undetectable after 24 hours   

​
Our contact at the company just told us the following: “We are very pleased with the results and have been waiting for this to be completed for many months. This is a game changing technology and I felt I should send this to you today since COVID-19 continues to have such a tremendous impact on the U.S. and other countries.”

We don’t need to tell you that’s huge—but we’ll say it anyhow.

That’s huge news.

Here’s what else Extreme Microbial Technologies told us. “The scientific effectiveness and safety of this technology is the extent of what exists today to reduce and prevent microbial contamination and transmission within indoor environments in ‘real time.’ Our primary purpose is to help our society by leveraging scientific efficacy. We are the top tier technology in this field, which is now more important than ever, as we know.”

High-Level Look at the Technology
What makes the Extreme Microbial Technologies proprietary technology so effective? Here are points they bring up:

  • They use a process called photocatalytic oxidation, and this process can ionize “high energy clusters” and hydrogen peroxide in indoor spaces.

  • Plasma used in the system is transported through water vapor, which mimics the process used by COVID-19 to spread.

  • The lipid/protein wall of COVID’s cell membranes is pierced by the ionized plasma in the air purification system.

  • When that happens, the COVID pathogen is immediately deactivated.

​
To demonstrate how this works, you can watch this video:

The technology is active 24/7/365, “ubiquitous on all types of surfaces, in all orientations, under counters, around objects, in crevices and behind walls.”
