Aircraft Interior Purification System Adapted for Ground Use

Aviation Clean Air (ACA) and International Aero Engineering have partnered to offer the ACA Ionization Purification System as a portable Ion Distribution Unit for Ground Use Only. The unit utilizes the same technology as ACA’s patented airborne system, which is certified for aircraft installation by FAA Supplemental Type Certification (STC). The new Ion Distribution Unit has been adapted to decontaminate aircraft interiors while on the ground.

The proactive bipolar Ion Distribution system kills pathogens and purifies air and surfaces by pushing air through the cabin and distributing ions throughout the aircraft interior. The electronically created positive and negative ions form from hydrogen and oxygen molecules in the water vapor present in the air and work as a cleaning agent to purify the air and surfaces. The technology replicates and accelerates nature’s cleaning process that successfully inactivates airborne and surface viruses.

The portable 110 VAC electric-powered ionization and air blower unit is placed on the floor of the cabin and activated for a period of time, ranging from one to two hours. Upon completion, the unit is powered off and removed from the aircraft. In addition to disinfecting and purifying the aircraft, the ionization unit eliminates the quarantine requirement currently in place at many OEM aircraft maintenance facilities.

Both ACA and International Aero Engineering International hold Approved Supplier status from several OEM aircraft manufacturers around the world.
