Advanced Technology:

We’re setting the standard for UV.

L2B Environmental Systems is an industry leader in UVGI products. The Company’s founders have over 20 years of experience in water purification and 30 years of experience working with advanced UV systems. The key question they asked themselves at the onset of L2B’s technology development over 10 years ago was: why hasn’t UV been more widely used in air purification? After investigating competitive UV air products in the marketplace they discovered that:

  1. Most competitive residential and commercial UV-based products do not deliver the UV dose needed to kill airborne pathogens in ALL of the air in your room, home or workplace.
  2. A significant number of competitive UV products are simply UV lamps without any kind of reflective chamber. The result is that they have practically no effect in most of the area of the duct, meaning most pathogens can easily pass by the UV-C light without being killed.
  3. Competitors rarely substantiate performance claims and commonly present consumers with misleading information to validate their products.

As a result, L2B set out to address each of these issues in order to create a comprehensive line of truly effective UVGI products. Since then, our company has gone on to receive numerous patents on UVGI technology that we have introduced into our line of residential and commercial products to in order to achieve unparalleled results in the reduction of airborne pathogens and the destruction of airborne chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The most unique feature of our air purification products is our patented high reflectance, photocatalytic oxidation (HR/PCO) UV coating technology. This coating is the enabling property in L2B's ALL•AIR™ line of air purification products, which allows us to enhance the intensity of the germicidal lamps. Using this coating, we can achieve target performance levels, with respect to UV dosage, using fewer lamps and significantly less energy than our competitors. This is due to the fact that our coating is much more reflective than galvanized ducting or the aluminum reflectors commonly used in our competitors systems. For example, the measured intensity in a coated ALL•AIR™ system is more than ten times that of competitive insert lamps placed in typical galvanized ducting. The increased light reflection causes the in-flight airborne pathogens to be bombarded from all angles with high intensity germicidal UV-C light, which allows us to consistently achieve high kill percentages. The photocatalytic property of our coating also means that it is self-cleaning. Typical ducting gets dirty over time and becomes less and less reflective, decreasing the effectiveness of other UV products. The benefit of having a self-cleaning surface is that the “kill chamber” (the coated area of the duct) will always remain clear of build-up and therefore stay highly reflective, which results in consistent performance and energy efficiency. This photocatalytic property is also what enables our products to break down and destroy VOCs present in the air. Additionally, our coating can be applied to panels that can then be incorporated into existing HVAC systems, which reduces labor and material costs for our clients.

This advanced technology, combined with our unique product designs and years of experience in the field of ultraviolet air and water purification have resulted in the development of our line of ALL•AIR™ products. If you’re looking for the most comprehensive, practical and effective solutions to combat poor indoor air quality, look no further.
