Focus on air quality: avoiding odors, germs, and pollutants
In office buildings, public facilities, hotels, and workshops, people, materials, and technical processes generate a wide variety of odors—from body odors to cleaning chemicals to material emissions. Added to this are germs, VOCs, and airborne particles that spread unnoticed in the indoor air.
oxytec air purifiers with plasma and UV-C technology ensure clean, odor-free air, protect the health of people in the building, and prevent negative perceptions of the space—even without a central ventilation system.
What would you like to know?
Simply put your question to our AI. They will answer you individually:
Typical sources of odors in the building environment
| Problem area | Typical stresses | Consequences |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance and hallway areas | Damp clothing, people, outside air | Stale air, negative first impression |
| Offices & meeting rooms | Odors, technology, laptops | Unpleasant odors, concentration problems |
| Toilets & washrooms | Aerosols, fecal odors, cleaning agents | Odor nuisance, poor hygiene |
| Technical and waste rooms | VOCs, waste odors, stagnant air | Odor propagation in the building |
| Kitchenettes & break rooms | Cooking fumes, food residues, microorganisms | Odors, unhygienic indoor climate |

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How can Oxytec help to permanently eliminate unpleasant odors in buildings?
Our plasma and UV-C air purifiers reliably neutralize organic odor molecules, germs, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – e.g., in hallways, restrooms, break rooms, or technical areas. This creates odor-free, hygienically perfect indoor air, even without complex ventilation technology.
Which technology is suitable for which area of the building?
- Plasma technology: ideal for combating odors in restrooms, garbage rooms, or technical rooms
- UV-C technology: for germ reduction in break rooms, corridors, and entrance areas
- Activated carbon filter (optional): for high VOC levels in storage or ancillary rooms
All solutions are compact, discreet, and suitable for continuous operation.
Can the systems also be retrofitted without central ventilation?
Yes, all Oxytec systems are:
- Modular in design and designed for retrofitting
- Suitable for use as wall or ceiling units
- Also available as duct-integrated or mobile units on request
This eliminates the need to convert existing ventilation systems—a major advantage in existing buildings.
How loud are the devices when in operation? Do they cause a disturbance in the office or lounge area?
Our devices are:
- Very quiet (some < 30 dB)
- Unobtrusive in design and space-saving
- Suitable for continuous operation in sensitive environments such as offices, schools, or meeting rooms
Smooth integration into everyday life is guaranteed.
Are there legal regulations governing air quality in buildings?
Yes – the most important requirements are:
- Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV): requires indoor air that is beneficial to health
- Infection Protection Act (IfSG): supports hygiene measures in buildings
- TRGS and building inspection requirements: depending on the type of building (e.g., school rooms, public buildings)
Our solutions contribute to compliance with these standards and can be documented.
How much maintenance do air purifiers require?
Oxytec systems are designed for low-maintenance continuous operation:
- UV-C tubes: Replacement approx. every 9,000 operating hours
- Plasma elements: maintenance-free or easy to replace, depending on the model
- Filters (if present): Check/replace 1–2 times per year
We are also happy to offer service contracts or training for your in-house technician.
Are there any subsidies available for retrofitting air purification systems?
In many cases, yes – for example through:
- Programs to improve indoor air quality in public buildings
- Subsidies for energy efficiency or emission reduction
- Regional environmental and health subsidies
We would be happy to advise you on eligibility and the application process.
