As the COVID-19 pandemic surges, Edda Air has announced the completion of system for the commercial use of atmospheric plasma in disinfecting bacteria and viruses in air and on surfaces to reduce the spread of the virus. Edda Air’s team of scientists and engineers—the first to develop the capability to stabilize atmospheric plasma in a very dense, high-powered form—has now built systems that kill microbes on surfaces (such as floors and bed rails), on packages, and in the air when integrated into HVAC air purifier or stand-alone air purifiers.
Edda Air, an advanced technology company located in Shenzhen, China, also released independent laboratory test results on the disinfection capabilities, or “kill rates,” of its new virus disinfection technology, which surpass alternative solutions like UV(C) light.
In testing surface disinfection, Edda Air’s plasma surface disinfection “Edda Air” has shown a 99.99% (4-log) kill rate on a human corona virus when applied for 90 seconds. By comparison, data on UV(C) light from the International Ultraviolet Association website claims a 99.9 % (3-log) kill rate of a corona virus (not COVID-19).

“The outside testing of Edda Air’s new, cold plasma technology for circulated air and surface disinfection confirms our in-house results. Reducing airborne virus spread indoors is perhaps the biggest challenge in fighting the pandemic. We now know that we can apply plasma disinfection to air as it passes through the HVAC air purifier systems of offices, schools, hospitals and airplanes killing the airborne viruses that wearing masks and physical distancing don’t fully protect us from,” said Edda Air CEO.
Edda Air’s plasma disinfection devices use a patent-pending cold plasma technology that breaks down the oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) molecules in air into individual atoms. When these atoms recombine with the moisture in air, they create what are known as “reactive species,” which are highly effective in killing viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
Edda Air has developed several hardware prototypes for the application of its plasma disinfection technology: Some of PS Series for central air purifier , some for article disinfection, an air disinfection device for integration into existing and new HVAC systems, and a stand-alone air purifier.
Edda Air expects that its air and surface disinfection technology will be widely used in hospitals, offices, and schools and in the airline, cruise, and hotel industries, which have been among the hardest hit by the current pandemic. Edda Air’s patented air disinfection system and design can be easily incorporated into existing and new HVAC air purifier systems in community spaces, large and small, effectively disinfecting the air as it flows through those systems. The surface disinfection devices have applications throughout the supply chain.
“The other good news,” according to research, “is that plasma disinfection has been shown to be more effective and safer than UV(C) light disinfection and without the toxicity to humans of common cleaning chemicals. Edda Air disinfection can be used daily to reduce the spread of Corona Virus and to help prevent new epidemics or pandemics.”
