Technology | Brid Air Purifier

Clean filtration,
triggered by light

BRID’s exclusive technology uses a highly effective process called Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO). This reaction is triggered by the energy generated by light. A precisely calibrated LED board shines on a nano-structured ceramic filter, coated with doped nano Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). As a consequence, electrons are released at the surface of the filter and they interact with water molecules present in the air, breaking them up into hydroxyl radicals. These hydroxyl radicals, despite being extremely short lived, are highly reactive: they attack and break down the chemical bonds of pollutant molecules, turning them into harmless substances.

Clean filtration, triggered by light

Exclusive Filters
That Last Forever

BRID’s ceramic filters are the key components of our technology. Our trademark process permanently bounds doped TiO2 nano particles to a precisely engineered ceramic matrix.

The micro-porosity of the ceramic filter, which is the result of a controlled heating treatment, multiplies its reactive surface and, as a direct consequence, its efficiency.

Unlike other air purifiers on the market, BRID doesn’t use UV or UV-C light and does not generate any ozone, which is, in itself, a dangerous pollutant. This used to represent a huge limit of PCO based air purifiers. We are able to overcome this drawback, and kick-start the filtration with visibile, low consumption, white LEDs instead of UV light, thanks to the secret recipe of the doped nano Titanium Dioxide.

Other air purifiers using HEPA and Active Carbons filters collect pollutants until filter saturation. If not frequently replaced, those filters produce an inefficient filtration and even re-release accumulated pollutants into the environment.

Our exclusive ceramic filters don’t collect pollutants, they destroy them. This is why there is no risk of a saturated filter and there’s no need of filter replacements.

BRID becomes a Carbon Monoxide detector

With our optional CO Guardian module, you can always monitor the concentration of Carbon Monoxide in your environment. A smart alarm will warn you if the level of CO exceedes a dangerous limit.

High CO contentration in confined spaces is a silent and dangerous threat to health. If remains unnoticed, the ongoing exposure can lead to severe symptoms. Carbon monoxide is the second-leading cause of poisoning in the US.

As soon as a hazardous level of Carbon monoxide is detected in the air, an alarm will go off and remains on until the concentration drops under the critical value.
