Units. The REME HALO now has an adjustable shroud surrounding the REME Cell, which allows the adjustment of the
Advanced Oxidation Plasma output. The outer housing has also been updated to be more efficient as the air flows around
TM
it in the HVAC plenum. Another new feature, which was developed on both the REME HALO and PHI units, is a twist
lock system that allows the electronics housing or head to be removed along with the Cell without having to remove the

REME HALO Now with Zinc Ions
for Increased Kill Rates on Surfaces

30th Anniversary Issue
Education Corner

UV, COP, PCO, ESP, AOP/PHI and REME
The following is a brief discussion of today’s HVAC indoor air quality technologies:
UV Stick Light - UV has been used as a surface sanitizer since the 1950s. With
enough intensity and dwell time it can kill airborne microbials. This is usually not
practical in a residential or commercial HVAC system as the amount of UV energy
needed for a meaningful airborne kill rate would require an increase in cooling to
overcome the heat load. They are useful in keeping the coil free of mold for the
areas of the coil that are directly exposed to the light.
Unlike RGF’s REME® or PHI, this technology does not send friendly oxidizers
into the room to aggressively kill germs at the source.
COP/PCO – Catalytic or Photo Catalytic Oxidation Process. COP
and PCO are used interchangeably. This system uses a matrix of catalysts, usually
Titanium Dioxode. The Titanium Dioxode is excited by the UV for PCO and heat for
COP and creates a killing field on its matrix surfaces. Note: Only the air that passes
through the matrix is treated. This technology differs from HEPA in that it does not create a pressure drop.
Unlike RGF’s REME® or PHI, this technology does not send friendly oxidizers
into the room to aggressively kill germs at the source.
ESP- Electro Static Precipitator or Ionizers. These have been around for
over 50 years and are the basis of the now infamous Sharper Image “Mystery” ionizer. These create ozone. If engineered well, the ozone levels will be low and within
Federal safety limits. They are not as effective as COP, PCO, HEPA or an AOP device.
Unlike RGF’s REME® or PHI, this technology does not send friendly oxidizers
into the room to aggressively kill germs at the source.
AOP - PHI - Advanced Oxidation Process – Photohydroionization
A proprietary RGF technology. This technology is totally unique in that it kills microbials at
the source in the room. If you sneeze, 77% is killed before it travels three feet.
PHI sends airborne hydro-peroxides throughout the home that kill airborne and
surface borne viruses, bacteria, mold, odors and VOCs. However, it has little effect on
particulates (dust).
®
REME – Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy. A proprietary RGF Advanced
Oxidation technology. This process also creates hydro-peroxides. However, it does it
faster than PHI, plus it ionizes them, giving it the ability to do everything that PHI can
®
do, plus particulates such as dander, dust, pollen and smoke. REME can kill 99% of
microbes in a sneeze at three feet. Provides hydro-peroxides throughout the room
making the entire area a kill zone.
REME HALO2
2
REME HALO is the next generation of RGF Advanced Oxidation Technology. It has
been in development for over two years, and now has a total of six (6) patents
pending on the unique technology and process. The design focus from inception
was to increase our hydro-peroxide production to as high a level as currently
possible within our existing product line. It also has a pest deterrent system designed
to keep pests out of the HVAC ducts.

Patented Technologies
RGF continues to be the innovation leader in environmental technologies with the
recent awarding of four more US patents. Two of the patents relate to their Fin
Saver units, which reduce corrosion of the copper evaporation lines and coils of
HVAC systems, which is an important issue especially in coastal areas. Another is
for the Pan Saver, a non-chemical, self-powered unit designed to combat slime
growth in the condensate pans of HVAC systems, and the fourth is for the Universal
Bio-Reactor, which was designed specifically for the turf / golf industry and their
unique requirements of herbicide and pesticide removal and heavy biological loads
of washwater.

RGF Receives Award
For Florida Manufacturer
Of The Year
Ron Fink CEO and President of RGF
Environmental Group accepted an
award for Manufacturer of the Year
from South Florida Manufacturers
Association on behalf of RGF.
In 2014, RGF Food Safety Technologies
were successfully applied in meat, dairy
Food And Drug Administration
and other food plants to control
foodborne pathogens, including Listeria
monocytogenes, E. coli 157:H7 and Salmonella. PHI systems
were installed in two Wisconsin dairy plants that were shut
down due to contaminaon with Listeria. In both cases, the PHI
technology was an integral component of a correcve acon
plan to fully address the contaminaon problems. Both plants
reopened and have since operated with no environmental or
product posives for Listeria.
A large food processing plant that was shut down aer two
Listeria recalls also benefi ed from RGF food safety
technologies. In this case, state-of-the-art remediaon soluons
were combined with PHI and RGF's Turbo Ozone Generators to
eliminate sources of Listeria contaminaon on processing
equipment and for the overall plant environment. Aer
extensive Listeria tesng confirmed that the problem was
solved, the US Food and Drug Administraon issued le ers
acknowledging that the technologies applied were effecve at
controlling Listeria throughout the facility. In a le er to the
owner of the facility, FDA stated “It appears that the acons
taken to date that have included environmental assessments
have appeared to have eradiated the pathogen from the
facility”.

No Ozone - Facts and Fiction
Many UV light manufacturers (stick lights) are claiming “no
ozone” in their literature, which is technically not true. All UV
lights, including our UV line, give off some ozone; usually in
the .003 -.08 ppm range (this can vary due to test point and
methods). This is not a problem as many electrical products
give off ozone! The California “no ozone” initiative is ill
founded. We agree with the California position on ozone air
purifiers as high levels of ozone are harmful, but to say products must be “ozone-free” is over the top. Products that emit
some ozone include electric motors, refrigerators, televisions,
copy machines, UV lights, dishwashers, projectors, hair dryers, industrial and commercial lighting and transformers, to
name a few, and Mother Nature makes ozone with lightning
and sunlight. Most scientists believe ozone is nature’s way of
cleaning the air. This is why the outdoor air after a thunderstorm smells so clean.
Just what is ozone? Ozone is a pale blue gas that is actually
an oxygen molecule with a third atom. Oxygen is O2 and
ozone is O3. Ozone is a strong oxidizer that is widely used in
water and food purification and commercial and industrial air
purification. First, we need to understand that ozone is all
around us in nature. Listed are some typical ozone levels.
Typical Ozone Levels in PPM
.003 - .015 Ozone Odor Detecting Range
.005 - .01 Heavy Forest Country Air
.02 - .05 Outdoor Air after Lightning
.003 - .08 UV Light bulb (stick lights)
<.04 OSHA Safety Limit for Indoor Air
<.05 FDA Safety Limit for Medical Devices (Indoor)
<.05 California EPA for Air Cleaning Devices (Indoor)
<.12 EPA Limit for City Air
1.0 Human Tolerance Level
RGF’s Guardian Air line (both PHI and REME) have been vigorously tested by in-house RGF R&D Engineers and outside
by third party labs, government agencies, universities and
major Fortune 500 clients including: FDA, Federal Food
Safety Service, ETL, TUV, UL and Kansas State University, to
name a few. Results are always in the .01 ppm range or well
below, about one-fifth the FDA and California safety limits. In
a one-year study by Disney Hotels, ambient room ozone levels were actually lower in rooms with PHI than in rooms without. Accordingly, RGF’s Guardian Air line is as non ozone as
you can get.

New Technology for 2015
2
REME uses a brand new super hydrophilic catalyst, which allows for much higher water absorption from the
ambient air and also offers substantially increased surface area for the photocatalytic reactive surfaces. To activate this
new catalyst, we have added a brand new advanced oxidation pathway that uses targeted ultra sonic energy. The ultra
sonic energy creates sonolysis reactions which in turn release higher than 95% of the absorbed water vapor that is held by
this new super catalyst. The concentrated water vapor that is then released internally to the AOP reaction chamber is
transformed into hydro-peroxides by the REME's advanced oxidation reaction pathways. Created in-situ during the
formation of this new super hydrophilic material is near 100% anatase crystal titanium dioxide. In addition to the photo
reactive catalyst, we have also added cerium and other catalyst enhancers to further increase the AOP reaction
speeds. The included cerium along with other specific ceramic materials create a structural support matrix
2
that is also unique to this new catalytic material. The new REME technology in addition to being much
more reactive and producing much higher amounts of hydro-peroxides, will also have the
added benefit of being capable of deterring nuisance pests.

tests show over 80% effectiveness.
RGF has installed a billboard on its 45 foot container
that not only advertises the company but also purifies
the air. By coating a section of the substrate with their
proprietary, patent-pending advanced oxidation
catalyst, the combination of UV light from the sun and
the moisture in the air produces an advanced oxidation
plasma which oxidizes pollutants present in the air. A

NEW
HVAC Test Chamber
RGF unveils the newest addition to its already expansive inhouse lab testing capabilities: a brand new ASHRAE compliant
HVAC testing chamber. This state-of-the-art air testing
apparatus will allow RGF to test its newest products while still in
development, as well as all existing HVAC IAQ products to both
the current and future ASHRAE HVAC testing standards,
including ASHRAE 52.2 (Tests for efficiency of removing air
particles), ASHRAE 145.2 (Tests for efficiency of removing
gaseous contaminants including VOCs), ASHRAE SPC 185.2
(Tests UV lamps in a duct environment for delivered irradiance
levels), ASHRAE SPC 185.1 (Tests for a UV units ability to
inactivate airborne microorganisms traveling through an HVAC
duct. Note: This standard is currently proposed, it is not yet
published). RGF's brand new apparatus is constructed of
chemically inert stainless steel, making it ideal for all the particle, VOC, and microbial challenge testing. Its modular design adds
the capability to test both single pass and multiple pass test scenarios. In addition to this new ASHRAE compliant test unit, RGF
has also upgraded its physical test and data logging measuring equipment to include a second multi-channel laser particle
counter, as well as a new high-performance air analyzer with the capability of isolating and measuring specific VOC gases to
accuracies in the very low parts per billion. This new and expanded testing capability is a direct complement to RGF's already
existing in-house testing, including our own UL-867 IAQ testing chamber, a dedicated wet laboratory which is used for both
water, food, and air microbial and contamination testing. With dedicated equipment for specific tasks, i.e. microbial collection,
incubation and numeration, photo microscopy, AOP efficiency testing via light absorption testing, micro balances for measuring
hydroscopic absorptions to as fine as 1/10,000 of a gram, humidity and heat test chambers, fume hoods, as well as an in-house
complement of staff scientists and engineers (including mechanical, nuclear and aero space engineering, as well as biology).
We, at RGF, are very excited about both the recently released and also the proposed new ASHRAE UV standards. These
standards will literally shed light on just how poorly the current low-cost stick lights that pervade the IAQ market today actually
perform on treating airborne contaminates. With standardized test results, both specifying engineers and educated consumers
will finally be given the tools to make informed choices on the available air treatment technologies.
Polar Wind

RGF announces the new Polar Wind quad polar ionization
product family. Designed as a low cost treatment option for
both mini-split air treatment applications, as well as in duct air
treatment. The units will be available with 80-240 volts (50/60
Hz) switching input power as well as 24 VAC. The mini-split
model attaches directly to the units top (similar to our current
PHI offering), but is
much smaller and will
have a much lower
cost. The magnetic
mount duct unit is
very easy to install. It
is simply attached (via its very strong magnetic base) to any suitable metal surface
within the HVAC unit or duct. The unique design of the duct unit utilizes the
Bernoulli's air foil effect for enhanced active mixing of the charged ions into the
moving airstream.
