Hydroxyl Generator
Hydroxyl Generator
Uses UV light to produce hydroxyls that neutralise odours - and is generally safe to run while a space is occupied.
What it does and why it is used
A hydroxyl generator uses UV light to create hydroxyl radicals, which break down odour molecules in the air and on surfaces. Unlike ozone, hydroxyl generators are generally considered safe to run while people and pets remain in the space, which makes them well suited to occupied deodourisation.
Typical restoration applications
- Deodourising smoke and other odours
- Treating odour in spaces that remain occupied
What to expect on site
One or more units run in the affected area, treating the air over time.
Typical operating times
Often run continuously for one to several days depending on the odour.
Noise
A steady fan noise.
Safety
Generally safe to run while the space remains occupied - your team will confirm for your situation.
Can it be turned off?
Please leave it running for the recommended period so the treatment can work.
Common questions
More odour control equipment
HEPA Air Scrubber / Air Filtration
HEPA Air Scrubber
Continuously filters airborne particles - mould spores, soot, and dust - through a HEPA filter to clean the air.
Ozone Generator
Ozone Generator
Produces ozone to neutralise stubborn odours - and requires the space to be completely vacated during treatment.
Thermal Fogger
Thermal Fogger
Uses heat to create a dense fog that penetrates the same pathways smoke travelled, for deep smoke-odour treatment.
