Bio-hygienics:
Compact and portable treat-
ment plants that use biological
oxidation to clean air or water in
real time.
CAP™ Clean Air Plants
•Winner of Technology Merit
Award. The CAP is recognized
by the Environmental Business
Journal for innovative biological
treatment of indoor air quality.
•CAPs employ biocatalysts that
convert organic pollution like
carbon monoxide, ozone, ben-
zene, and other hydrocarbons
to water and carbon dioxide.
•CAPs are stand-alone, port-
able units, which can be placed
anywhere in areas of high pollu-
tion.
• Odors and air contaminants,
produced by chemical vapors,
toxic gases, and mold are elimi-
nated.
• CAPs can be used to sur-
pass OSHA standards for air in
the workplace.
• Used in the workplace,
CAPs lower health risks, in-
crease comfort and productivity,
reduce exposure to liability, and
encourage good management
practices.
• CAPs also remove cigarette
smoke, pet dander, pollen, dust
mites, mold, and other aller-
gens.
• CAPs can even oxidize and
destroy airborne vacteria and
viruses, as well as sudden in-
fluxes of chemicals and biologi-
cal contaminants.
•Turn off your present treat-
ment systems and save thou-
sands with CAPs.
