The Applications for
CosaTron
• Making smoking facilities tolerable
for non smokers
– Casinos, cigar bars, indoor smoking areas within
airports, office spaces, convention or conference
centers etc.
The Problems we Solve
• We reduce residual odors and irritants.
• We reduce deposition on all surfaces.
• We reduce heating & cooling equipment costs.
• We reduce overall system energy requirements.
• We improve indoor air quality and comfort.
CosaTron Technology
• We are Not a filter
– We treat the air increasing the
performance of the filters
• To appreciate our technology
– A basic understanding of air particle
behavior
• The culprits
• Particle size distribution in the air
we breathe
• Small particle behavior
• The CosaTron Effect

Filter Technology
• Filters do a good job for what they are
intended to do:
– MERV 8
– MERV 13
– HEPA
70%
90%
99%
Group E3 > 3 microns
Group E2 > 1 micron
>/= 0.3 microns
• So why do we have the fine dust and odors
remaining in our space?
Particle Behavior
Filter Efficiency
Bottom Line - It does not matter
how efficient the filter is . . .
The smallest of
particles remain
suspended
unaffected by air
currents
Contaminants
Electrical fields/Space Charge in a room have
a
plate-out on
dominant effect on fine particles which prevents
building surfaces
occupants
complete recirculation into the return andand
through
the filters
If the transport mechanism
(air currents) cannot move
the contaminants to the filter.
The CosaTron
Effect
• Electronically shifts the particle size distribution
allowing the filter to perform as it was intended
• Accelerates the natural process of
agglomeration, coagulation, conglomeration etc.
• Gases, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and
odorants tend to absorb into and adsorb onto
these agglomerated particles
• NO ozone is generated with our system

Independent Testing
Confirms the Effectiveness
• TEK Environmental & Consulting Services, MI
• Contracted by Greektown Casino, March 2012
• Particulate and odor reduction
– Tested three separate gaming areas
• CosaTron delivered outstanding results!

CosaTron vs The
Competition
“….There’s
no
continual
“….Low ozone generation – well
maintenance,
no
filters
to
keep
below acceptable levels”
changing or collector cells to
constantly clean. The only
maintenance required, in most
cases, is a once yearly replacement
of the ionization tube.”
• The “Ionizers”
– Majority of competitive offerings
– All create ozone as a byproduct
– Airborne contaminants will “plate out” on all surfaces
turning the conditioned space into a “dust pan”
– Building occupants become walking air filters
– If not properly maintained at the same regularity as your
filters they become totally ineffective
CosaTron vs The
Competition
• Electrostatic Precipitators
– Also creates ozone as a byproduct
– Collectors need to be cleaned as opposed to disposing of
a media filter so ease of maintenance is an issue
– Without regular service the system becomes almost
completely ineffective
The CosaTron
Advantage
• No moving parts
• Consumes < 50 watts of energy per 96
sq. ft
• Less than 0.5 wg of static pressure loss
• 5 year warranty on all components
• Energy savings, by reducing OA per
ASHRAE
• Multiple LEED point potential
• Over 32,000 installations proving the
effectiveness of our air treatment
system
