The cost of pollutant control is growing continuously. Environmental and work safety regulations force industrial facilities to treat both the surrounding air and that on the premises . The systems currently in use for indoor air based on ventilation are inefficient as they send emissions to a system outside the facility to be treated. U-Earth destroys the contaminants within the facility without the need to ventilate or channel polluted air, generating significant energy savings due to reduced air changes and related cooling or heating. U-Earth systems are also widely used for the treatment of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), emissions from solvents from industrial processes, both through channelling and in free form, providing a viable and efficient biological alternative to activated carbon filters and post-incineration treatment.

Industrial emissions and odour control.
Odour control is a major problem for industry and the surrounding community. Some processes operate by masking odours, while others reduce them. U-Earth systems destroy odours at the source through the process of bio-oxidation, helping to reduce costs and improve relations with the neighbours.

Superior to ventilation
Contaminants and persistent odours travel on particulate matter. These particles are electrically charged. Their motion is controlled by electrical fields, not by air flow because the majority of the particles, to the extent of 98% of all particles, are smaller than 0.5 microns, and therefore have a mass too small to respond to gravity or ventilation. U-Earth systems capture and destroy odours and indoor contaminants in real time, saving energy, improving health and safety, and preventing epidemiologic emergencies.

Superior to activated carbon
U-Earth systems incorporate an advanced spiral element design which eliminates the need for channelling and treats contaminants, such as polar compounds, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, that activated carbon cannot treat. Activated carbon quickly becomes saturated and requires frequent maintenance. U-Earth systems reduce or eliminate the cost of replacing activated carbon filters.

Superior to thermal oxidation
Incinerators often require more space than manufacturing plants. U-Earth systems take up minimal space and are able to fit in very tight spaces. Since U-Earth systems are biological, they do not contribute to additional air pollution as they produce no hazardous waste substances. They work at room temperature and do not increase energy consumption.
