Healthy living – Hygienic, odor-free toilets

UV-C and plasma technology against odors and germs in sanitary facilities

Toilet facilities have special hygiene requirements. In addition to unpleasant odors caused by organic decomposition processes, germs, viruses, and mold spores can also spread via aerosols and damp surfaces—a health risk, especially in interior or heavily frequented areas.

oxytec uses UV-C disinfection and plasma air purification to ensure permanently clean, odor-free air – quietly, without chemicals, and without ozone pollution.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Oxytec system remove unpleasant odors from toilets and sanitary areas?

Our systems do not mask odors, but neutralize them:

  • UV-C and plasma technology destroy odor molecules directly in the air
  • Ammonia, sulfur compounds, and organic vapors are also broken down
  • No use of fragrances or chemicals

The air becomes clean and hygienically fresh—even in interior rooms.

What do Oxytec systems do to combat germs in toilet facilities?

Our UV-C recirculation systems reduce:

  • Bacteria and viruses in aerosols
  • Mold spores from damp areas
  • Biofilm formation through continuous air disinfection

This lowers the risk of infection—even in heavily frequented facilities.

How do these devices differ from conventional ventilation systems?

Conventional fans spread odors and germs –
oxytec devices destroy them directly through:

  • UV-C irradiation
  • plasma oxidation, or catalytic decomposition
  • Optional activated carbon filters for particle filtration

The result: odor-free and hygienically safe air without air exchange.

Where will the systems be installed?

Depending on the building situation:

  • Recirculation units directly in the room – mobile or wall-mounted
  • Duct inserts for central exhaust air ducts
  • Ceiling-mounted units for discreet integration in hotels, offices, etc.

All systems are also suitable for retrofitting.

How loud are the devices when in operation?

Our solutions are:

  • particularly quiet (<35 dB(A)), even in continuous operation
  • ideal for sensitive environments such as private homes, guest bathrooms, or retirement homes
  • low-maintenance and ozone-free (with UV-C) during operation

What about maintenance?
  • UV-C lamps last approx. 8,000–12,000 hours
  • Filter replacement 1–2 times per year, depending on the area of application
  • Plasma cartridges are durable – with self-cleaning or replacement option

Maintenance is simple and predictable – even for operators without their own specialist personnel.

What standards apply to sanitary facilities in terms of air quality?

Important guidelines:

  • DIN 1946-6: Design of ventilation in sanitary rooms
  • VDI 6022: Hygiene requirements for ventilation and air conditioning systems
  • Workplace Ordinance: Regulations for commercially used toilet facilities

oxytec systems meet these requirements and reduce the need for cleaning.

Are there any subsidy programs for air purification in sanitary facilities?

In certain cases, yes:

  • Funding via KfW or municipal programs for energy-efficient renovation
  • Eligibility for funding within the framework of hygiene or infection control concepts
  • Consideration in residential construction projects, hotels, or care facilities
