PCO Technology

Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) is an advanced air treatment technology that uses UV-C light and TiO₂ catalyst surfaces to help reduce odors, VOCs, bacteria, and airborne pollutants in indoor environments.

What is PCO

UV-C + TiO₂ working together

PCO is not just a filter. It is a reaction process. When UV light activates a TiO₂-coated surface, it creates highly reactive compounds that help break down odor molecules and volatile organic compounds in the air.

1

Air enters

Contaminated air carrying odors, VOCs, and particles moves into the treatment chamber.

2

UV-C activates TiO₂

UV-C light shines onto the titanium dioxide coated surface inside the PCO module.

3

Oxidation begins

Reactive compounds are formed and help break down odor molecules and pollutants.

4

Cleaner air exits

The treated air passes through filtration and returns fresher to the space.

Why it matters

Designed for continuous odor and air treatment

Odor reduction

Helps reduce everyday odors from kitchens, pets, humidity, waste areas, and closed spaces.

Airborne pollutant control

Supports reduction of VOCs and some airborne contaminants when designed with proper airflow.

Works with carbon filtration

PCO works best when combined with activated carbon and pre-filtration for stronger odor control.

Suitable for daily use

Unlike ozone shock treatment, PCO-based systems are designed for continuous air treatment.

Where it is used

PCO for homes, yachts, restaurants, pet facilities and commercial spaces

PCO technology is useful for spaces that need continuous air treatment, especially where odors, VOCs, humidity-related smells, and indoor air quality issues are a daily concern.
