Air & Water Solutions History
• 1996 - Introduction of CAP Clean Air
Plant for control of indoor air quality
(IAQ), World’s 1st (and only) Biological
IAQ Control System
• 2002 Business Achievement Award,
Technology Merit Award for biological air
and water cleaning systems for industry,

How CAP/CWP works
Biological Oxidation
• Living organisms obtain energy by
oxidation reactions.
• Humans and animals consume food
therefore capturing the energy from the
food source and reducing it to carbon
dioxide,water and solids.
Page 4 of 20
Biological Oxidation (continued)
•Biological Oxidation is a natural reaction where
micro-organisms capture the energy in an organic
substance (food source) and use it for the
oxidation process.
•This allows biological oxidation to take place
without a large increase in temperature or energy
usage. The results of this are CO2, water and inert
bio-solids.
•As contaminants come in contact with microorganisms, they are biologically oxidized to CO2
and water. Heavy metals and solids are
consolidated and rendered harmless.

Bio-hygienics
(bi'o-hi jen'ikx); The application of compact treatment plants utilizing bio-oxidation for
indoor and outdoor applications
•Contaminants and odors that are persistent
travel on particulates.
•Most large particles will travel with air flow and
can be vented.
•Small particles, the ones which are most
harmful, are resistant to normal air flow and
cannot be vented.
•These particulates are electrically charged.
•Their motion is controlled by electrical fields not
by air flow.
•For these reasons, many odors linger even
Page 6 of 20
when an area is exhausted.
Bio-hygienics (continued)
• CAP© neutralize contaminants in the air and
creates an electrically neutral “clean zone.”
• Contaminants, both positively and negatively
charged, are attracted to this neutral clean
zone, where they are captured in the unit and
biologically oxidized.
• CWP© work the same way, creating a clean
water zone. Contaminants move to the clean
zone, are drawn into the unit, where they are
biologically oxidized.

Substantial cost savings
• Superior technology to
– Carbon - substantially more economical
– Thermal destruction
• First bio-oxidizer designed for indoor applications
• Miniaturized plants save energy and space
• Single technology, single solution
• Very low maintenance
• Can be installed modularly to meet growing demands
• Bio-hygienics offers the benefits of immobilized cell
technology in a compact treatment plant that is fast,effective
and economical.
• Advances in bio-hygienics address air and water quality,
nuisance odor issues and industrial waste management in a
complete, economical solution for companies large and small.
• CAPs and CWPs are the only bio-systems that address air
and water contaminants bio-hygienically.

Machine Operation
• The CAP™ Machine is can be modified to fit
both stationary and portable applications.
• The size of the machine is based on both area
covered and amount of pollution present
• Portable applications: It is recommended the
machine be in operation in the area prior to
activity related to targeted pollution

CAP™/CWP™
• BioOX© is the Bio-Enzyme microbial media
used to consume pollution.
• Start up recommendations and amount used
during normal operation are based on machine
and application. (Chart to come later in
presentation).
• The more pollution ,the more BioOx needed.
• Many applications will need less BioOx the
longer the machine has been operating as it will
clean the air and built up pollution in walls,
ceiling tiles and ventilation systems.
Page 10 of 20
CAP™ requirements for normal operation
• Dual outlet power supply to run pump and fan.
• Water must be added as needed(daily in most
cases). Automatic water feed can be installed
on larger machines.
• Heaters can be added for exterior applications
to prevent water freeze.
• BioOx added monthly or more frequently as
needed.
