Hydroxyl Generator & Carbon Filter Rental

Safe, Natural, and Continuous Odor and Air Quality Treatment. This treatment uses two complementary technologies — a Hydroxyl Generator and a TrueCarbon Air Purifier — to safely and effectively neutralize odors, airborne contaminants, and lingering volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Both systems operate safely in occupied areas, making them ideal for homes, offices, and workspaces during or after cleaning and restoration projects.

The hydroxyl generator uses UV light and humidity to create hydroxyl radicals (•OH) — the same natural cleaning molecules produced outdoors by sunlight. These radicals break down odor-causing gases, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores both in the air and on surfaces, turning them into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. It’s completely safe for people, pets, plants, electronics, and furniture, allowing continuous operation while occupied.

This compact purifier draws air through a deep granular activated carbon bed (about 3 lb, 2″ thick) followed by a true HEPA filter, capturing and adsorbing gases, VOCs, and fine particles that remain after hydroxyl oxidation. The carbon filter physically traps smoke residues, decomposition gases, and mVOCs (microbial volatile organic compounds) released by mold.

Our hydroxyl generator and carbon filter system is effective for fire or smoke odor removal, urine and animal odors, decomposition and bio-odors, musty or moldy smells from damp areas, and general air freshness improvement. The system removes remaining VOCs and airborne odor molecules, captures residual fine particles (dust, spores, smoke ash), and maintains fresh, neutral air after remediation.

Hydroxyl generators do not produce ozone and are completely safe for people, pets, children’s toys and personal items, and plants and open living areas. The system operates as follows: Position the Hydroxyl Generator in the main odor zone, ideally near the center of the room or source area. Place the True Carbon unit downrange — near a doorway or opposite wall — to draw air through its carbon bed as the hydroxyl generator treats the space. Both units plug into standard 110 V outlets and can run continuously for several days.

Treatment duration varies based on odor intensity: Light to moderate odors require 24–48 hours, while heavy or embedded odors may require 3–5 days of continuous treatment. No sealing or evacuation is required; these systems are completely safe for occupancy. When treatment concludes, the air will smell clean and neutral — not perfumed or masked. The combined system removes odors at the molecular level, improving indoor air quality naturally and safely.
