Modular Air Plasma for Your Antimicrobial, Bioactive, Chemical Innovation
ModuNOx™: Air Plasma Ozone, NOx, RONS Generator Modules
We supply our Air Plasma technology in modular devices – with support services – to generate the gases your application demands, rapidly and at scale.
Example: OXONOX (external link) wanted to improve hygiene in busy public spaces in response to COVID-19. Our ModuNOx™ OEM Solutions allowed them to rapidly integrate Air Plasma into new products, delivering easy, effective, safe and sustainable disinfection of escalator handrails using our technology.

Why ModuNOx™ versus other plasma sources?
| Our Four Pillars: | ModuNOx™ Air Plasma | Thermal / hot plasma | Non-thermal / cold plasma |
| 1 Easy | Modular, programmable OEM component design. High flexibility in RONS outputs and purities. Automated delivery of gas. Low to no maintenance. NOxLab™ accelerates R&D. | Low adaptability of RONS dose and not designed for OEM integration. Some devices apply RONS manually. High electrode erosion, requiring frequent recalibration. | Low adaptability of RONS dose and not designed for OEM integration. Manual application requires special training and is prone to error. Some devices require cumbersome compressed inert gas cylinders. |
| 2 Effective | Highly repeatable, calibrated gas-phase RONS, ~0-500 ppm range. Long electrode lifetime and low drift. Fast, automated and uniform RONS treatment over wide areas. | Drift in RONS dose over time due to electrode erosion. Manual application makes it difficult to apply RONS consistently over wide or irregular surfaces. | Poorly defined, variable mechanism of action, including highly aggressive, unstable radicals. Manual application makes it difficult to apply RONS consistently over wide or irregular surfaces. |
| 3 Safe | Packaged into shielded enclosures, to maximise user and public protection. Low air temperature. Precisely known RONS outputs, can be scrubbed before emission. | High electrode erosion produces metal dust. Some devices vent high concentrations of RONS without scrubbers to mitigate inhalation risk, and operate at high air temperatures. | Open air operation contaminates the plasma and changes RONS output. Increased risk of exposure to high voltages, electromagnetic interference. Often no RONS inhalation risk mitigation. |
| 4 Sustainable | High RONS generation vs power efficiency. RONS are generated precisely at high concentrations and distributed around / confined in air-tight volumes. | Inefficient and high power consumption. Some devices waste power through open air operation, allowing RONS generated to rapidly disperse. | Inefficient and high power consumption.
