Patents

Three patented technologies.
A single idea:
act on the cause.

Air Pulse Technology for the physical removal of biofilm from water networks; the patented use of probiotics to improve indoor air quality; the probiotic system for extraction hoods in professional kitchens.

Patent 01

Air Pulse Technology
Remediation of water circuits

The first patented mobile solution that combines flushing, disinfection and the controlled injection of air to remove bacteria and biofilm from water installations. No fixed equipment to install, no continuous chemical dosing, no harmful by-products, an immediate and verifiable result.

The six stages of the method

01

Thermal treatment 65-85 °C

The entire system is brought up to temperature: the biofilm matrix is destabilised and free bacteria are eliminated.

02

Air Pulse Technology

Oscillating low-pressure pulses of air and hot water generate a mechanical stress that breaks up the biofilm and expels it from the pipework.

03

Biodegradable biocide

Treatment with a peroxide-based biocide that dissolves the residual biomass and deactivates micro-organisms, disinfecting the pipework.

04

Second thermal treatment

The system is treated thermally once again to eliminate any residual micro-organism and to inertise the biocide.

05

Second Air Pulse cycle

The pulses complete the removal of every organic and product residue from the pipework.

06

Cooling and disconnection

The system is cooled and the mobile equipment disconnected. No chemical residues remain: the facility is back in service immediately.

No fixed installation

The equipment arrives on a mobile unit, connects, operates and leaves. No investment in permanent equipment.

No by-products

A biodegradable biocide that converts into water and oxygen: no trihalomethanes, chlorites or NDMA.

Immediate result

The contaminated system is remediated and brought back to safety within the intervention itself, with analytical verification.

Compatible with every material

Tested on copper, steel, multilayer and PPR networks, with verification that the pipework is undamaged.

Experimental evidence

The test reports on copper and PPR pipes compare three conditions: no treatment, traditional chemical treatment and the patented treatment, showing on plate the difference in residual count. The images and full reports are available on request.

Before: biofilm and organic deposits in the pipework
During: circuit connected to the mobile equipment
After: network cleaned and verified by analysis
Patent 02

Probiotics for indoor
air quality

Air is not a source of pollution: it is the vector that picks up micro-organisms and allergens and distributes them throughout the building. The patent exploits exactly this mechanism, but in reverse, using air circulation to spread beneficial micro-organisms.

Patent 03

Probiotics in kitchen
extraction hoods

In professional kitchens airborne grease settles in the hood, in the filters and along the whole duct run as far as the discharge point. It is a threefold problem: hygiene, energy and, above all, fire risk.

Hygiene

The organic deposit is a growth medium for bacteria and moulds.

Energy

Obstructed sections reduce the flow rate and increase fan consumption.

Fire

Grease built up in the duct is among the leading causes of kitchen fires.
