Because of its VOC capabilities, the 5000 Vocarb is perfect for laboratories, hospitals, workshops, and even convenience stores. With a coverage area of 1500 square feet, the 5000 Vocarb is a good deal, boasting a 10-pound, military-strength MAC-B filter for gas and odor relief.
The industry standard is a coconut shell derived carbon, which is an excellent carbon source for a broad range of chemicals. However, different carbon sources have different properties and thus some are more efficient at removing VOC's from the air. For example, we also have anthracite or coal based carbon, which is better suited to removing VOC's. Other carbons and “impregnations” are available. As soon as you move away from just coconut carbon into other blends, we refer to it as our “VOCARB” blend. Vocarb has a broader based cleaning capacity, or in some cases, even specific VOC adsorbing qualities. So, all of our units start off as EXEC carbon units and ANY of the units we have can become VOCARB by just changing the type of carbon. As a unique additional service we offer a carbon test kit to those who are chemically sensitive.
UV is an excellent option for users who are concerned about mold, bacteria and viruses. We use only non-ozone producing germicidal UV bulbs. The UV light shines at a frequency and energy that breaks organic molecular bonds. As microorganisms pass by the UV rays this bond breakage translates into cellular or genetic damage – preventing replication for microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi etc. Bacteria and viruses are only dangerous to us if they replicate. Preventing them from doing so, as UV does, helps sterilize the air.
