Clean Air Zone
Nature-Based Green Filterless and Sustainable Air Purification

Air purifiers’ popularity hit a new high last year, courtesy of the coronavirus’s ability to transmit via air. The virus also lingers in poorly ventilated indoor areas, heightening its severity. Additionally, the quality of air across the globe has plummeted due to extreme emissions. All of this has resulted in a surge of demand from individuals and companies alike, looking for purification systems to keep themselves safe indoors. This sudden demand has led to a large influx of new technologies in the market, most unsustainable and unhealthy. Some systems use hazardous UV rays while others use filters, which need to be replaced now and then. To make things worse, such systems’ efficiencies are extremely low, and customers are given a false sense of security. Clean Air Zone (CAZ)—a New York-based startup—solves these problems by taking inspiration from the one thing that has solutions to every problem in the world—nature.

Corey MacPhee, R&D Engineer at CAZ, elaborates and adds, “Nature uses falling water, whether it is waterfalls or rain, to capture airborne contaminants. Natural microbiotics and enzymes then break down these contaminations. We incorporated these two fundamentals in designing our air purification technologies.” The air purification systems developed by CAZ contain running water that attracts the air into the system and blends with it, an approach referred to as a ‘water-wash.’ The contaminated water is then treated with an all-natural microbiotic enzyme solution that completely breaks down bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pollutants. CAZ’s green purifier does not use any filter or UV rays, making it 100% natural and sustainable. Furthermore, it does not produce any byproducts and is a maintenance-free system. Additionally, there exist several other factors that set CAZ’s purifier apart from traditional technologies.

CAZ’s green purifier offers improved efficiency even after several months of usage. Consumers, once every four months, only have to add the natural bio-solution. In addition to that, the purifier enhances consumer’s experiences with its in-built diagnostics features. It is self-monitoring and notifies the users about its status via WiFi.

CAZ has built its purifier in a way that facilitates biological attraction between the falling water and air particles, and it grabs even super-fine contaminants, such as submicron particles, formaldehyde, bacteria, mold, Legionella, and most excitingly, the coronavirus. Unlike other air purification systems, CAZ incorporates such a myriad of functionalities into a one-stop solution.

The enterprise is meticulous about the design, quality, and efficiency of its purification devices and has its engineering operations wholly based in the U.S. CAZ has an R&D team consisting of scientists, engineers, and doctors who customize the air purifier specifications as per the consumer’s need. The purifier is used for commercial, industrial, as well as consumer purposes. Its clientele consists of printing presses, gyms, schools, nursing homes, where people might be suffering from allergies and have sensitivities towards chemicals or molds. CAZ also is proactive about environmental protection and empowers its customers to make environment-friendly choices. During the pandemic, CAZ was approached by Ludlow—a Manhattan-based boutique hotel—which was struggling to keep its business afloat.

Concerns about the coronavirus’s transmissions were high, and travelers avoided hotels due to fear of contracting the virus. CAZ installed several air purifiers in Ludlow’s common areas, lobbies, bars, restaurants, and penthouse suites. The units were able to capture any virus, making the hotel’s surroundings protected from airborne pathogens. Not only did this scenario demonstrate Ludlow’s proactive approach in ensuring safety, but it also helped the client boost their brand image considerably.

CAZ is currently developing models that would check air quality and modulate operating efficiency accordingly. The company will launch a new model in Q3 of 2021. CAZ is also integrating and partnering with several prominent industry leaders in HVAC manufacturing. With its sustainable and utterly safe air purification system, one can expect that Clean Air Zone will soon become a household name in the U.S.
