"Air Filtration Technology that Catch and Kills Pathogens"

Design2Part

July-August 2023

    

"Although HEPA filters

offer a 99.9 percent efficiency rating when

it comes to collecting small particles and

pathogens, they do not deactivate live bacteria

and viruses, which makes replacing

these filters a potentially hazardous task."

"When UVC technologies are combined with Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, as is often the case, operational and maintenance expenses may increase due to higher power requirements and costly bulb replacements. 

 Understanding the drawbacks of these traditional technologies, which date back to the 1930s and 1940s, researchers at NC State have developed an effective and contemporary method of providing clean and safe air that is suitable for today’s post-pandemic needs."

   Air filtration technology in the aircraft cabin, such as the HEPA filtration within most aircraft today, helps protects air travelers from contagious airborne pathogens. However, while HEPA technology captures airborne viruses and bacteria, it cannot deactivate them, so the risk of infection remains.

"An aerosolized coronavirus, similar in genetic makeup to the virus responsible for COVID-19 infections, was introduced into an enclosed laboratory-scale tunnel with FIL-TEX situated between the inlet and outlet. A sampling of the air before and after passing through FIL-TEX demonstrated encouraging post-filtration effectiveness of the novel technology.

“We had nearly a 3-log reduction in infectious virus after the FIL-TEX filter, to be specific up to a 99.7% effectiveness,” says Scholle. “The destruction of infectious virus was a truly significant level of success and was beyond our initial expectations.”

STITCH PARTNERS & TEAM WINS FlyRDU CHALLENGE!

"Stitch Partners Filters Deadly Smoke—And Maybe The Novel Coronavirus, Too"

"Stitch Partners Filters Deadly Smoke—And Maybe The Novel Coronavirus, Too"

Some of the Research Triangle’s most innovative minds were named winners of the Triangle Impact Challenge 2021: FlyRDU on Wednesday. During the challenge, Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) worked with Duke University, North Carolina Central University, N.C. State University, UNC-Chapel Hill and RTI International to improve the air travel experience by finding more ways to keep passengers safe and healthy during the parking, ticketing, screening, waiting, shopping, dining and boarding processes. 


 1st place: “Deactivate Airborne Pathogens” from Duke University, N.C. State University, and Stitch Partners . The team demonstrated the rapid effectiveness of aerosolized particle removal using an electrostatically charged textile filter that was created at the N.C. State Wilson College of Textiles. The technology is under consideration for a patent and possible future product development.

 “It’s the smoke that kills you,” McCarthy said. “Having a device that can help suppress the smoke long enough to get somebody out of a burning building would be huge. And it is taking a different approach, a disruptive approach, to a problem that’s been around for a long time… It’s exciting to be part of the solution.”
