PROACTIVE AIR & SURFACE TECHNOLOGY
Solutions for the management of mold, mildew, odor & VOC’s indoors.
A major issue throughout growing facilities is the prevention & management of mold growth on product. Other issues include Mildew, Odor & VOCs. Result of this issue include dying plants; low yield; unsellable & visually bad product.
PROBLEMS FACING INDOOR GROWERS & INDUSTRY
Puradigm has developed advanced technology that takes the solution to the problem through an active air & surface purification system. • Products developed & proven to address mold, mildew, odor and
VOCs issues. • Technology is 3rd party validated • Solution is working in greenhouses & grow industry • Safe for 24/7 operation

Aggressive Mold Destroying over 80% of Basil Produce
Indoor Grower Solution 4,000 Sq. Ft. Greenhouse 3 – Puradigm GROW Units 1 – Puradigm PRO Unit
We just wanted you to know that the machines have done an amazing job of halting our mold problem. We have almost no mold in our greenhouses and considering the recent weather, our greenhouses should be covered in mold... All that to say thank you. The Puradigm machines have been a game changer. Thank you, California Grower

Issue with mold, odors and CFU levels throughout facility.

CURING
DRYING Indoor Grower Solution 4 – Puradigm GROW Units
Puradigm Technology was installed in grow rooms, curing and drying rooms. The results showed dramatic improvements in a number of areas.
Te s t i n g There was a reduced level of odor in both growing and drying rooms. Health inspector's commented on the significantly reduced level of odors using this technology. The destruction of volatile organic compounds in the air did not significantly reduce the amount of organic compounds and terpenes in the finished product. By using the technology in the grow rooms, we were able to reduce the levels of molds such as Botrytis, which resulted in a reduction of bud rot. Implementation of this technology resulted in a significant reduction of CFUs which were verified in a blind lab test. Implementation of the technology during the drying & curing process, were tested on four lots of production, which compared two lots using the Technology and two lots not using the technology. The results as shown in the lab report were dramatic. The CFU levels using the technology were the lowest we have ever achieved without using damaging sterilization methods (e.g. Irradiation)

35% of crop being lost to powdery mildew and mold in both their nursery and finish grow rooms.
Solution for Indoor Grower 2 – Puradigm GROW Units
Puradigm Technology was installed in both the nursery grow room and the finish grow room. The units were sized to cover the cu. ft. area for each of the growing rooms.
R e s u l t s The results were a significant reduc>on in both the powdery mildew and the mold within about 7 days. Ini>ally the technology was killing the mildew a^er the outbreak had already occurred. The Technology uses a high energy cluster and oxida>on technology to blanket both the air and surfaces in the indoor environment. It kills spores and bacteria that are carried into the environment by people and intake air flow. A^er the growing rooms were sani>zed by the Technology the problem was almost totally eliminated. Grower comment -‐ “This is a game changer, this Technology is amazing. I no longer have the fruit loss or the revenue loss that I was experiencing. These units will pay for themselves in less than two months. I plan to enlarge my growing area to accommodate more plants.
