PA Consulting and Hydroxyl Technologies (Airora)
Partner to Speedily Create the Airora Professional to Fight COVID-19 and Future Pandemics

PA Consulting

We are excited to announce a joint initiative with world leading product designers, PA Consulting, to create the Airora Professional, a large scale air and surface microbial decontaminator, capable of destroying all harmful bacteria and viruses, including coronaviruses, and thereby reducing the risk of infection in public spaces.

Hydroxyl Technologies

The Airora Professional is ready for implementation and we are seeking partners to bring the product to market - more details below

Airora Professional

Our patented technology kills all human pathogens, including coronaviruses

PA Consulting and Hydroxyl Technologies Ltd have jointly created the Airora Professional, a scaled solution to deliver patented microbial decontamination technology that actively combats air and surface borne viral and bacterial infections, including Coronaviruses (the family that includes the COVID-19 and SARS viruses), Influenza, Norovirus, C-difficile, E-coli and MRSA.

The unique Airora technology creates a cascade of hydroxyl radicals, which occur naturally in the open air, but which are absent in closed environments such as buildings. Hydroxyls rapidly react with viruses and bacteria, destroying their membranes and genetic material to make them harmless to humans and animals.

Airora technology has been tested in world class laboratories
and proven effective up to a level of 99.9999% in killing human pathogens.

Airora Benefits

In addition to killing all types of viruses and bacteria, hydroxyls have other beneficial effects, including neutralising allergens, eliminating common lung irritants and other pollutants, and removing odours.
A cascade of hydroxyls is created outside of the device through a rapid propagation reaction in the air requiring no need for all air to be passed through the device. Hydroxyls reach even the most remote locations within the space within seconds by molecular diffusion.
The Hydroxyl Cascade continually suppresses pathogenic viruses and bacteria 24/7, helping keep air and surfaces clear of pathogens and lower the risk of infection.
Unlike ozone room cleaners, or anti-bacterial sprays, a Hydroxyl Cascade is entirely safe for human beings and animals, so the space being treated can continue to be occupied while the device works 24/7.

Deployment

Airora Professional is suitable for the active removal of pathogens, including coronaviruses, from the ambient air and surfaces in large enclosed spaces, including hospitals, care homes, other medical care and veterinary clinics, business offices, schools and universities, restaurants and bars, supermarkets, hotels, and transport.

Deployment of the technology could play an important role in reducing risk of disease transmission and increasing safety for healthcare workers and patients, office staff, production workers, shoppers and travellers.

Safe and Effective

How Hydroxyl Radicals Work

An abundance of hydroxyls is created naturally in the lower atmosphere by the reaction between sunlight, water and chemicals in the air and from the reactions between ozone and oils emitted into the air by plants and flowers.

Hydroxyl radicals are highly reactive molecules that rapidly react with and neutralise viruses, bacteria, pollens, and other airborne or surface-borne pathogens and toxins.

When hydroxyls react with viruses, they disrupt the lipid envelope and/or capsid (protein shell) around the virus and inactivate the protein used to enter human cells. Hydroxyl radicals also penetrate the interior of the virus and disrupt the genome (RNA content).

These reactions inactivate the virus, rendering it completely harmless and unable to infect humans and animals.

Safety and Effectiveness Data

Hydroxyls are safe to humans and animals and occur naturally and abundantly in the open air.
The technology kills germs and viruses continuously as people are present continuing their work, unlike other pathogen killing processes such as fumigation and surface decontamination.
The technology has been tested by the Health Protection Agency, among others, who confirmed a 99.9999% (6 log) kill rate within 5 minutes of MS2 Coliphage virus. MS2 Coliphage is a standard lab testing virus which studies show is 7-10 times harder to inactivate than a coronavirus such as the COVID-19 virus.
The patented Airora technology is exclusive to Hydroxyl Technologies Ltd (HTL) and is several orders of magnitude more effective than other devices that rely on hydroxyls.
HTL holds granted patents in multiple jurisdictions.

The Airora Professional meets all applicable criteria set out in the US FDA guidance for the use of air sanitisers in fighting the Covid-19 Virus

PA Consulting and Hydroxyl Technologies Ltd

PA Consulting and Hydroxyl Technologies Ltd (HTL) seek to identify partners with whom to rapidly create, validate and market this new high powered device designed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics in large and public indoor spaces

HTL has been developing the technology for over 15 years, and proven it through a number of prototypes.

PA is a specialist in rapid product development, and has worked with the HTL team for over 10 years. Our team is finishing the final production design, including working models, that can be handed over to a partner shortly.

Our expert PA – HTL team is keen to work with partners that are interested to explore this technology for their own purposes or indeed sees this as a major commercial opportunity to launch a scaled solution applicable to many areas like hospitals, offices, care homes, schools / universities, restaurants and bars, transport, shops, etc.

We're passionate about using our hydroxyl radical solution to not only address the current COVID-19 crisis, but also to help Society find an easier way out of lockdown, and to prevent future outbreaks, including annual Influenza outbreaks.
