September 2024, Dubai, United Arab Emirates: In a significant move reiterating the UAE’s aim to maintain air quality and reduce air pollution in the country, IFZA has teamed up with Airdog Middle East and TPA Air Technology to launch an initiative aimed at improving indoor air quality for its employees. This collaboration makes IFZA the first free zone in Dubai to implement such a comprehensive air quality enhancement program, setting a new standard for workplace wellness in the region.
Air pollution is a major health risk, as highlighted by the United Nations. By introducing this initiative, IFZA’s CSR division, IFZA Cares will be actively working towards mitigating these risks to create safer, healthier work environments. Additionally, to reinforce the UAE National Air Quality Agenda 2031, IFZA’s partnership will also focus on forming a general framework for maintaining air quality in the workplace, serving as a model for other free zones and businesses in the UAE.
“Our employees have always been our top priority, and we are proud to lead this initiative to improve air quality in our offices.  This partnership signifies a major step towards addressing the health and wellbeing of our employees. Using TPA’S Air Sanitizers ensures that we are providing a healthier work environment for our employees, enhancing their well-being and productivity. We hope this initiative sets an example for other organizations to follow,” commented Jochen Knecht, CEO at IFZA.
“We are honoured to partner with IFZA to launch our Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Program, that ensures the safety of indoor air by providing a healthy workplace for IFZA staff. Running the Airdog TPA Air Sanitizer in IFZA premises for over one year now has resulted in a significant and permanent improvement in indoor air quality, meeting the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).  Meanwhile, by using the world's first sustainable air purification technology that requires no filter replacement, IFZA has saved tons of waste and CO², a crucial step towards UAE's target of achieving carbon neutrality,” confirmed Thomas Schmid, Founder of Airdog Middle East & TPA Air Technology.
Airdog TPA Air Sanitizers have been successfully installed and placed throughout IFZA’s offices to continuously track and manage air quality levels. These measures are designed to reduce the presence of harmful pollutants and create a cleaner, healthier indoor environment. A thorough examination of IFZA’s offices has been done for testing and sanitizing, focusing on key air quality indicators like biological pathogens, particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and humidity. The results have led to targeted actions to improve overall air quality in IFZA’s facilities.
According to a survey done by Honeywell, 80% of Middle East respondents say good indoor air quality positively impacts their productivity, compared to 68% globally. It is a critical aspect of environmental health that directly impacts employee well-being and productivity. In the UAE, where people spend over 90% of their time indoors, addressing indoor air quality is crucial.
Through this initiative, IFZA Cares and TPA aim to inspire other organizations to prioritize indoor air quality, promoting broader action across various sectors. This collaboration will not only enhance the health and productivity of IFZA’s employees but will also contribute to the UAE’s mission to improve air quality and public health.

AstraGene - Middle East’s first Molecular Diagnostics Manufacturing Company

Beginning of December 2022, several TPA Air Sanitizers were installed in AstraGene's Laboratories and Clean Room.
After just a few days, the result was clearly measurable. Even in the "clean room" a additional reduction in particles and germs in the air could be measured. These rooms are equipped with high-performance HEPA filters, as required by law, but these naturally never achieve 100% filter performance. The electric TPA filter reduces the number of particles to almost zero, which is permanently monitored and recorded by a precise Air Quality Analyzer.
"The highest possible purity and quality of our products is particularly important to us. The latest filter technology is an indispensable component in quality assurance," says Dr Palat K Menon, Founder of AstraGene.
Now, after half a year of operation, a positive balance can be certified. Not only that the replacement and costs of HEPA filter could been reduced significantly, the quality of the products has also been increased. Thanks to the latest Air Sanitation Technology, highly sterile diagnostic reagents, kits and instruments can be produced at highest international quality standards even in laboratories surrounded by a dusty desert environment.

In February 2023 TPA X8 Pro Air Sanitizer were installed and tested in the Laboratory Virology Department and the Serology Cool Room of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, one each room.
Before switching on the air sanitizer bacterial and fungal air samples are taken on selective agar plates manufactured by the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory’s own production.
After switching on the air sanitizer, additional air samples were taken again after 5 days and 8 days of operation.
The agar plates were incubated in the CVRL's own laboratory, the result was recorded both, optically and quantitatively.
There was a significant difference in improvement of the air quality after just 5 or 8 days after the air sanitizer were put into operation. As the labs of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory are already cleaned very well by various filter devices (HEPA), a striking reduction in the amount of bacterial and fungal colony forming units per liter of air (cfu/L) could be determined.
Since various microbiological sources such as employees, air conditioning, and other sources are permanently present and can never be eliminated completely, the number of pathogens has nevertheless been significantly reduced.
At the same time, the dust was permanently removed from the rooms by the air sanitizer, thus removing the breeding ground for pathological germs to grow.
The test of the air sanitizer has shown that it not only removes dust from the air but also eliminates microbiological germs such as fungi and bacteria at the same time.
The use of the devices in animal husbandry in closed rooms under air conditioning can therefore only be recommended, especially in summer when temperatures and humidity are high.
“We see enormous potential here by keeping animals f.e. falcons in closed rooms, particular to prevent diseases caused by airborne pathogens such as Aspergillus and E-Coli. It is recommended to use the devices in human medicine as well. Here, too, a significant reduction in airborne pathogens can be assumed. This would finally avoid any air-borne disease.”
certifies Dr. Dr. habil. U. Wernery, Scientific Director of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory.

Air Sanitizer of TPA™ Air Technology were installed on November 27th, 2022, at a falcon farm in Abu Dhabi / Al Wathba. The falcon’s health was managed by Dr. Rachida Ouhmama, Veterinary Falcon Specialist, and the setup of the machines was done by the technical team.
For this installation, air samples for bacteria and fungi were taken before the devices were set up, bacteria and the fungus Aspergillus were detected in these air samples. Parallel to the microbiological investigations, an air quality recorder was installed in the falcon room.
After installing the TPATM Air Sanitizer all air pollutions dropped significantly in general:
   
 



A second air sample showed that the microbiological pathogens detected in Bacterial special media are significantly lower than before.
In addition to the dangerous pathogens, large amounts of dust and sand dust particles are now eliminated from the air.
"The well-being of the falcons has suddenly improved. We were able to see a significant increase in training performance on our GPS records after accommodating the animals in the dust free air," says Mr. Butti Mohamed Alqubaisi, the proud owner of the falcon farm.

Keeping falcons in closed rooms under AC conditions poses a particular challenge to the health of the animals, especially during summertime.

The high humidity together with sand dust and air pollution form an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.
These not only grow in the air conditioning but also through the filters there and are blown back into the room. A dangerous cycle that is now being broken by the Air Sanitizer from TPA™ Air Technology.
Their vision is to protect people and animals from all current and future microbiological hazards. An investment in a sustainable future, the filters of the devices can be easily washed out without risk of infection, this saves the environment, and the total operating costs.
The worldwide unique technology removes dust particles of all sizes in large quantities while a cold plasma field, simultaneously eliminates biological pathogens in the process. The systems not only filter the air highly efficiently, but it also disinfects the air at the same time.
The result is the purest air without dust and bacteria. A removal rate of 99.9% has been proven in numerous tests and medical laboratory certificates for these systems.

"This new air disinfection technology is very helpful for falcons in closed rooms including clinics " says Dr. Rachida Ouhmama, Veterinary Falcon Specialist.
The ready-made systems are available for any room size, just plug in and enjoy cleanest sanitized air.

Following up on the successful implementation of advanced indoor air purification devices at Expo 2020, the MBM Group (Sheikh Mohammed Maktoum Juma Al Maktoum Investment) founded the company TPATM Air Technology together with their partners of the German TPATM distribution who have been working on this new and environmental-friendly technology for years.
 
According to studies, UAE residents spend an average of more than 90% of their live indoors, hence healthy indoor air is of particular importance. Although all modern AC systems supply enough air from outside, additional pollutants are produced generally indoors by modern building materials, paints, furniture, carpets and other materials.
Fine dust, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, bacteria, spores and viruses accumulate here, partly generated by humans themselves. As a result, more clean air inside is needed.
 
“To supply additional air from outside by the air conditioning system would be even more energy intensive. Cleaning the air in a closed loop directly inside is more sustainable.” says Thomas Schmid, CEO of TPATM Air Technology.

The TPATM Air Technology is characterized by a low power consumption, reduced by over 50% compared to conventional filters. The electrical filter system removes even the smallest particles down to a few nanometres. Furthermore, it is wash-able, so no expensive filter cartridges are needed for operation. A high-voltage cold plasma field eliminates viruses, bacteria and germs.

The decentralized air purification units can be set up in all indoor spaces such as offices, hotels, gyms, homes and schools. Especially children should be effectively protected against exposure to indoor pollutants, so that the pollutants do not accumulate in their bodies over the years.

Overarching, the new possibilities of air purification protect the health of the entire community and can lead to an improvement of indoor air quality in future. Energy-saving and sustainable air treatment concepts are an additional opportunity to boost the long-term health of the nation and a further step in the United Arab Emirates' target to achieve carbon neutrality.
               
The aim of TPATM Air Technology is healthy and unpolluted indoor air for every citizen.

The latest invention in Air Disinfection was successfully presented by TPATM Air Technology in the German Pavilion at Expo 2020. Here, 47 TPA Air Sanitizers protected more than 2.5 million visitors for 180 days and provided them with the purest air indoors.
 
During this international exhibition, more than 274 million cubic meters of air were effectively cleaned from dust, bacteria, fungal spores and viruses. The high-performance Air Sanitizer removed 99.9% of microbiological pathogens from the air, this has been confirmed by German medical laboratories as well as other institutes worldwide.
 
Due to the large stream of visitors, considerable amounts of dust were carried into the rooms, the washable filters were cleaned weekly and can still be used today.

The Air Sanitizer of TPA™ Air Technology are patented and the first system in the world that not only purifies large amounts of air but also eliminates microorganisms through a high voltage plasma field at the same time. The inactivated pathogens are collected on metal plates, together with dust and other air pollutants. These plates can safely be washed off.  
Parallel to Expo 2020, thousands Air Sanitation devices were installed in German schools to protect students from infection with Covid.
 
“Treating the air with up to 40,000 volts enables us to eliminate microbiological pathogens of all kinds. Neither viruses, bacteria nor fungal spores survive this process. All particles, including dust, are charged up and attracted electrostatically to the metal plates to stick there. The durable metal filter can be washed out then, over and over again. This saved considerable amounts of energy and consumables during Expo 2020 and in future.” confirms Thomas Schmid, German inventor.
 
Especially living indoors under air condition in addition to the high loads of sand dust outdoors poses a special challenge.
 TPATM Air Technology in Germany is working on the availability of this economical Air Sanitation Technology for the Middle East to support the local community.

To protect the health of the students and teachers in view of the ongoing infection rate and to enable the school to run as smoothly as possible, the German Government equipped all schools and kindergartens with accredited Air Sanitizers.
 
TPA Air Technology installed thousands of classrooms with its new sustainable technology and thus saves immense follow-up costs for replacement filters protecting the environment at the same time.
For example, almost 900 devices were delivered and installed by TPA Air Technology Germany / LTEG GmbH for the Aichach / Friedberg district alone. See image.
 

The mobile air filter devices with plasma technology eliminate and filter pollutants from the ambient air using a so-called cold plasma field. Its degree of filtration of almost 100 percent has been confirmed by German medical laboratories, particularly regarding the SARS-CoV-19 virus. Further advantages: The air sanitizer is optimized and certified in Germany neither to emit ozone nor other pollutants.

 
 
Devices also eliminate pollen and fungal spores.
 

"In addition to infection protection, which of course has the highest priority, it was important to us - in view of the considerable investment that the Government is making here - to also take future aspects such as follow-up costs and sustainability into account," explains District Administrator Dr. Klaus Metzger.
 
 
In contrast to many alternative technologies, the pre-filter and main-filter unit of the devices do not have to be changed and disposed to waste but can - once the capacity limit has been reached - cleaned and then reused without any loss of quality.
 
"This not only saves the district a lot of money, but also protects our environment," says Rainer Hurler, Head of Municipal Construction in the District.
 

The District also wants to save on electricity costs. Since the energy consumption of the purchased plasma devices is significantly lower than that of devices with HEPA- and UVC technology, there would also be lower follow-up costs.
 
Another advantage of the purchased devices is the long-lasting high filter-efficiency. In the case of many devices with HEPA filters, they decrease quickly and significantly over time.
 

The Government also focused on the later use of the air sanitizer after the end of the pandemic. In addition to being used in the event of further influenza waves, the air sanitizer could also be used "only" to sanitize and improve the quality of the indoor air. The purchased devices also reliably filter fine dust, pollen, other allergens as well as formaldehyde and fungal spores from the ambient air.

The pandemic brought numerous things into focus, including the importance of a strong immune system as well as how airborne viruses spread. A breath, a cough, a sneeze: everyone living daily life in a mask became acutely aware of the reality of what we inhale and exhale and how it impacts the people around us. As a result, a whole new focus was given to the importance of indoor air quality.
As vaccine counts rise and COVID-19 cases decrease, many companies are inviting employees back to work. Unsurprisingly after almost two years people have some concerns about heading back into the office, not least of which is a concern over health and safety.
Leading corporations are setting precedents for de-densifying office spaces and instituting long-term policies for cleaning and sanitising shared spaces. One key tactic most are employing is the installation of workplace Air Purification units. This and other efforts are going a long way in putting employees’ minds at ease as they make the transition.
Silicon Valley-based company TPA pushes the standards for clean air higher than anyone else, by utilising a hyper-efficient design with advanced filtration technology to sanitize the air.

Why Air Sanitizer are needed?

Standalone air purifiers are not like traditional fans in that they don’t just push air around, they suck the air through a filter, removing a variety of particles, and circulate the clean air. While Air Sanitizer can additionally eliminate viruses, bacteria, funghi spores as well as remove dust, pollen, odours, and smoke, depending on how fine the filtration system is, which can make a surprising impact on both comfort and actual respiratory health.

Air Sanitizer also help to resolve the general staleness of air that happens in the workplace quite often, sometimes without even becoming noticeable. Think of it this way, without opening windows or running forced air into the workplace, the lion’s share of the air is the same, day-in, day-out!

What Is a HEPA Air Purifier?
HEPA Purifiers (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) are now quite common office air solutions. The idea behind HEPA filters is to have multiple layers of tubular fibres arranged in various directions, which are designed to trap air contaminants like pollen, dust, and other fine particles. By trapping the solid contaminants, the air that passes through is cleaner, and less likely to cause respiratory irritation.

In order for filters or purifiers to be considered HEPA-quality, they need to trap 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 μm in size. Obviously that is quite small, and at this size dust and pollen are removed, as well as some other allergens that would present respiratory issues. However, HEPA-grade purification doesn’t trap contaminants smaller than 0.3 μm in size so there is still a shortcoming with this technology. That’s where TPA Air Sanitation Technology steps in.

For reference, these are the sizes of common air pollutants:

  • Smoke 0.01-0.5 μm
  • Industrial emissions 0.01 μm
  • Viruses 0.017-0.3 μm
  • Dust 1μm
  • Pollen 2μm

TPA Air Sanitation Performance
Arguably the most important factor when deciding how to choose an Air Sanitizer is the level of purification. As noted, HEPA filters only clean down to 0.3 μm which removes larger particles like pollen and dust, however fine-particle atmospheric dust, viruses, bacteria, fungal spores certain smoke, and gases can be much smaller and slip through.
TPA filters the air down to 0.015 μm (15 nanometers), making it more effective at air purification than HEPA filters.



TPA Air Technology achieves this via our multi-stage filtration method, which has five layers of materials that progressively trap smaller and smaller contaminants. A key element to the performance is the combination of this series of filters with an ionic field.

What exactly is an Air Sanitizer?
Basically, it is a component in the purifier that applies voltage to miniature rods which dissipate electrons into the air. Once the electrons come into contact with air molecules they form ions that attach to contaminate particles, either falling to the floor or improving the ability of the filter to capture them.
The high-voltage Cold-Plasma-Field inactivates all phatogen microbes testet bei several labs worldwide.

"Kill & Collect"
