The problem
In enclosed spaces, air is the main route of infection.
In an ambulance, a hospital room, a laboratory or a farm, aerosols build up and pathogens pass from one patient, worker or animal to the next. Disinfecting surfaces or filtering outdoor air is not enough. While a space is occupied, the risk of indoor airborne transmission remains.
Emission
1,000+
particles per minute
with potential viral load, released when an infected person speaks loudly.
Dispersion
15 meters
of possible airborne transmission
of SARS-CoV-2 in enclosed spaces, especially with poor ventilation.
Persistence
3 hours
of viability in aerosols
SARS-CoV-2 can remain infectious in the air for at least this long under experimental conditions.
Today's solutions force you to choose
-
Chemicals and ozone
The space has to be cleared. They can't be used with people inside. They generate waste.
-
UV-C
They need long exposure times. Use is limited with people inside.
-
HEPA filters
They trap particles but don't inactivate microorganisms. They need powerful fans, make noise, use more energy and generate waste.
Kirion solves all of this at once.
The solution
One principle. Six environments where air is critical.
Human health
Ambulances and medical transport
Active biosecurity during transport, not just between calls. Less bioburden in the patient compartment and less turnaround time between patients. Protection for crews.
Laboratories
Lower risk of cross-contamination in BSL-2 rooms and laminar flow cabinets, with no vibration or chemicals to interfere with testing.
Hospitals and health centers
Patient rooms, exam rooms and waiting rooms with continuously treated air and no noise for patients or staff.
Animal health
Genetics laboratories
Keeps semen dose and genetics labs negative for PRRS and bacteria by treating the air continuously while staff work.
Insemination centers and barns
Protects boars, sows and piglets with the animals inside, and shortens quarantine and acclimation.
Animal transport
Reduces the risk of infection during stops and transport, continuously protecting the entire breeding cycle with no chemicals or noise.
How it works
Cold plasma, no fans.
A controlled electrical discharge turns air into cold plasma, which eliminates viruses and bacteria as it passes through the unit.
Simulation · Kirion
The three stages, one by one
Loading the 3D simulation…
Air enters.
A small electrical discharge moves air through the unit with no fan or moving parts. That's why it makes no noise.
Air turns into plasma and germs are eliminated.
That same discharge generates cold plasma from the gases in the air, producing reactive species (O₃, NO₂ and others) that are lethal to viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms, reducing their ability to infect. All of this happens in less than a second, during a single pass through the unit.
Clean air comes out.
In the final stage, the catalyst transforms the residual molecules, releasing clean air that is safe for people and animals.

Scientific validation
| Phase | Result |
|---|---|
| Laboratory | >99.7% inactivation |
| Laboratory | >99.9% reduction |
| Laboratory | >99% of particles in 2 min |
| Controlled room | >90% in 20 min; >99% from 60 min |

What no other technology does all at once.
Compared with other technologies
| Criterion | Kirion | HEPA filters | UV-C / photocatalysis | Chemicals / ozone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inactivates viruses and bacteria | Yes | — | Yes, with long exposure | Yes |
| Works with people inside | Yes | Yes | Limited | — |
| Silent | Yes, 0 dB | — | Yes | Yes |
| No consumables or waste | Yes | — | — | — |
| Low power use | Yes, from 20 W | — | Medium | — |
Kirion is the only option that meets all five criteria. It inactivates viruses and bacteria with people inside, with no noise, no consumables and low power use.
