About
Hydroxyl Technologies, in partnership with the inventor, Alan Mole, and BRE Ltd undertook over 15 years of scientific development, testing, prototyping, focus groups, and extensive microbiological and air quality testing at numerous independent laboratories around the world, including the UK Health Protection Agency (HPA) at Porton Down.
The HPA microbiologists recommended that we tested the technology on MS2 phage as a surrogate for all human pathogens because they know that MS2 phage* is much tougher to kill than any pathogenic virus. The results of those tests were astounding, achieving a kill rate of 99.9999% of airbourne MS2 in under 5 minutes.
We knew from the beginning that Alan Mole, the brilliant mind behind Airora, had invented something very special. But we also knew that the science was so novel that it would be tough to develop, test and implement the appropriate technology.
As expected, the journey has been really challenging, but after ten years of research and development the technology we have developed is now thoroughly proven and both low cost and straightforward to manufacture.
We are incredibly excited to be able to make our next generation air cleaning solutions available to customers worldwide, and you can find out more about our initial products under the brand name Airora, at https://www.airora.com.
* The HPA (Health Protection Agency) at Porton Down use MS2- phage instead of pathogenic viruses because “under health and safety law (COSHH) substitution of pathogenic agents by non-pathogens is recommended when possible, and MS2 phage is a virus with well documented high resistance to chemical and physical modes of control” (Dr. Allan Bennett, HPA).
