OUR PARTNERS
Our VL-PCO platform powers next-generation sustainable air systems that continuously destroy microbes and pollutants — advancing health, efficiency, and longevity across buildings, critical facilities, and F&B environments.
10x
bioburden reduction from air in 24 hours.
VL-PCO is a photocatalytic oxidative technology that employs visible light to activate the catalyst which in turn eliminates the bioburden. Photocatalytic oxidative technology that is active by UVC was developed by the NASA 20 years back to protect their space station against VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). We have finetuned the catalyst to be activated at 410nm and enhanced the kill rate to get an effective sterilization with a contact time of 0.16 seconds.
Advantages of using LECO technology :
Worlds first nano-catalyst coating engineered for precise activation by visible light
LECO technology does not produce any hazardous biproducts, making it a safe and environmentally friendly option for eliminating bioburden.
It has been shown to be effective in eliminating a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and mold. The kill rate is upto 100% or Log 9 in a single pass
The technology can be used in various applications due to its malleable form factor and low energy requirement.
100% Air Sterilization in a single pass
Healthcare-centric designed air sterilizers that are powered by visible light photocatalytic oxidative technology. The technology is intrinsically safe even for the immunocompromised and eliminates pathogens up to 100% in a single pass.
