"cold plasma ionic interaction" technology as deployed on the International Space Station

A BREAKTHROUGH IN PASSENGER HEALTH FOR AIRLINERS
The JetAir™ Bio-Protection System (BPS) is designed to provide higher levels of protection for passengers and crew from a wider range of unhealthy cabin air contaminants, both biological and chemical. It is based on Plasmer™ "cold plasma ionic interaction" technology pioneered in space and currently used on the International Space Station and in numerous international hospitals. Now adapted to civil aircraft for the first time, it answers a rapidly growing sensitivity of the traveling public to airplane air quality issues.

Unlike common filtering solutions as used widely today, the JetAir™ BPS uses “catch and kill” technology to achieve the outright destruction of biological threats, whether they are bacteria, spores, fungi or the smallest viruses and endotoxins. And it breaks down other substances including ozone and certain volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) that pose health risks and against which standard filters are defenseless.

Benefits - JetAir™ Cabin Air Management Systems

assuring the health of passengers and crewairliner_benefits
  • 99.99% destruction of bio-contaminants, with proven effectiveness on Avian flu virus, Corona virus (SARS), Serratia marcescens, Aspergillus niger, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, MS2 Bacteriophage, Brevundimonas diminuta and Bacillus atrophaeus (anthrax surrogate) among others.
  • Significant reduction in cabin ozone levels.
  • Stable performance with time, without the much faster deterioration associated with fine filters (clogging and increasing pressure drop) and with other sterilization methods.
  • Eliminated risk of re-contamination during filter maintenance/ handling and during airflow stoppages.
  • Performance verification by renowned international medical institutes and research centers in France, UK, Russia and USA.

unique multi-stage de-contamination process

ARCHITECTURE
Multi-stage de-contamination based on Plasmer™ cold plasma ionic interaction technology.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Microorganisms, viruses and other small contaminants are electrically charged so as to be attracted to the surfaces of porous dielectric materials where living and parasitic matter (viruses) are subject to lethal effects including:

- rupture of the cell membrane or protective casing through local oxidation, and
- damage to molecular structure including the DNA/RNA.

CONFIGURATION
The Bio-Protection Unit (BPU) is available in several physical configurations. Two (cabin left and right) or more units are generally required depending on the size and configuration of the target aircraft.

BIOLOGICAL REDUCTION EFFICIENCY
99.99% minimum destruction at rated airflow per unit. Efficiency increases with lower airflow.

NANO CAPTURE
Better than 99.999% removal efficiency for 0.001µm to 0.01µm sized disintegration by-products including endotoxins.

OZONE REMOVAL
Under 5 ppbv residual for recirculated air input levels up to 100 ppbv.
