VOC Destruction Report
As tested by Intertek, a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL), Molekule’s PECO technology destroys VOCs without re-release, unlike any other technology available. Download
Molekule’s Patented PECO Technology
Molekule’s proprietary technology, Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO), works at the molecular level to destroy pollutants. Take a deep breath and see what makes Molekule air purifiers the first of their kind.
Science at the nanoscale
Developed over two decades by research scientists, PECO is an innovative technology that utilizes free radicals—the same radicals used to destroy cancer cells—to break down pollutants at a molecular level, including VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, and allergens. By using nanotechnology, PECO is able to destroy pollutants 1000 times smaller than what traditional HEPA technology was designed to trap.
- Free Radical (OH•)
- Oxygen (O2)
- Virus (C,O,H,N)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Water (H2O)
- Trace Elements (N2, etc)
The path to clean air.
PECO destroys pollutants. HEPA simply collects them.
HEPA simulation
Mold and bacteria can live and grow on HEPA filters. PECO destroys them.
Pollutants trapped on HEPA filters can grow and be released back into the air you breathe. PECO destroys bacteria, mold, and other pollutants such as allergens, ozone, and VOCs.
HEPA simulation
HEPA technology isn't designed to remove the smallest pollutants, like VOCs. PECO destroys VOCs.
Many harmful pollutants are under the 0.3-micron HEPA standard and are too small for HEPA filters to capture. PECO technology was designed to destroy even tiny pollutants, including VOCs.
Under the microscope
Unlike HEPA technology, PECO can eliminate pollutants at a microscopic scale (including VOCs and viruses). With no ozone byproduct, Molekule air purifiers safely destroy a vast range of indoor air pollutants. As a science company, Molekule conducts extensive testing of its technology through its own labs as well as certified third-party laboratories.
Before Molekule
Black mold captured on the surface of the Molekule PECO-Filter before being broken down.
Destruction
Black mold in the process of being oxidized (broken down).
Elimination
Black mold is oxidized and eliminated.
PECO: the clear winner against HEPA
Mold
Mold destruction
Mold spreads through the air and finds surfaces to grow on. While HEPA technology can catch mold, its filters also can become places for mold growth. Eventually, this mold can escape back into the air. Because of Molekule’s breakthrough PECO purification process, mold is destroyed in the air as it passes through the device.
