Photohydroionization
Photohydroionization (also called PHI) is an Advanced Oxidation Technology developed and owned by
RGF Environmental
PHI is a combination of safe, low levels of ozone (well below federal government recommendations), ultraviolet light and metal ions that produce safe and friendly oxidizers that neutralize odors and destroy airborne bacteria and mold.
These oxidizers travel through a room by natural air movement. One of the oxidizers is hydro peroxide. Treating a room with hydro peroxides is like misting a room with a hydrogen peroxide mist. Each time a hydrogen peroxide finds an airborne contaminant, it will neutralize the contaminant. An advantage of PHI is there are no harmful by-products, as the oxidizers revert back to oxygen and water vapor. Photohydroionization is also used for food and water purification. A comparable technology is called
Advance Hydrated Photocatylic Oxidation
Examples of the many products that use this technology are the
"APS Ultimate"
, the
"Mini RGF"
, the
"Plug in Plus"
and the PHI cell. Unfortunaltely, these products can no longer be purchased online. They are now sold through distributors who in turn sell them to HVAC contractors. Products that use technology akin to the RGF brand and sold online and are reasonably priced are
Air Oasis Air Purifiers.
