Technology and Scientific research | Oxyion

OXYION® MDBD technology delivers a unique biosecurity enhancement that modulates electrical variables through a Modulated Dielectric Barrier Discharge (MDBD). Its primary function is to support the reduction of environmental contaminants safely for people and the environment. This process requires no added chemicals and leaves no residual compounds, offering a clean, complementary approach to improving indoor air quality.

The continuous, self-pulsing plasma process optimizes the production of oxygen-based byproducts, including gas-phase hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), while preventing the formation of nitrogen derivatives.

Oxyion technology can be seamlessly integrated with existing air handling systems or deployed as a standalone solution, helping reduce environmental contaminants without relying solely on conventional air filtration.

Oxyion offers a clean technology approach to support the management of indoor environmental contamination.

Oxyion powered systems are designed to strengthen indoor air quality in spaces such as offices, break rooms, industrial cooling, and processing areas. Our technology supplements existing cleaning practices by continuously reducing levels of airborne and surface microorganisms, including bacteria, mold, and other contaminants. It achieves this by generating safe oxygen byproducts from ambient air, which interact with these agents and help lower their presence in treated areas.

Our solutions can be adapted to a wide range of applications—from small, independent units for common spaces to large-scale systems for industrial settings. Each project includes an engineering review of the air handling/HVAC layout to provide a tailored implementation plan. Installations can be completed by any licensed contractor or HVAC professional.

Oxyion is intended as a complementary measure to existing hygiene, cleaning, and sanitization protocols. Systems operate safely during normal activity without downtime, providing consistent, continuous support in reducing microbial load in indoor environments.

Provides continuous supplemental reduction of airborne and surface microorganisms (including bacteria, mold, and other environmental contaminants) in common areas, cooling rooms, holding rooms, processing, and post-process environments.

Operates without added chemicals and is designed to be safe for use in occupied spaces.

Technology comparison

Oxyion is not UV technology that emits radiation—often limited in effectiveness for larger industrial settings—nor does it operate like ozone generators that rely on flooding a room with ozone. Instead, Oxyion produces a safe, chemical-free blend of oxygen-based byproducts, including gas-phase hydrogen peroxide, which are circulated through a facility’s existing air handling systems or HVAC. This process operates continuously to help reduce microbial load in indoor spaces and support cleaner environments for both public areas and perishable processing operations.

Active Continuous Inactivation System

“Not all plasmas are created equal”

What Differentiates Oxyion Technology
Unlike passive purification methods, Oxyion technology generates a consistent and proprietary Modulated Dielectric Barrier Discharge (MDBD) plasma with prolonged, self-sustaining propagation. This allows oxygen-based reactive byproducts to remain active in the environment for extended periods—lasting hours compared to the much shorter lifespans observed in other approaches—providing continuous interaction with airborne and surface microorganisms.

The extended activity is achieved through Oxyion’s proprietary core power supply, which produces gas-phase hydrogen peroxide plasma with enhanced ion mobility. This increases the number of molecules carrying free electrons in higher-energy states, keeping them available for ongoing environmental interactions.

Oxyion’s controlled diversity contributes to sustained plasma viability and efficient supplemental reduction of microbial load across treated areas.

The Oxyion system consists of MDBD modules (HFM & SRM), which combine frequency- and voltage-modulated pulse circuits to drive a sealed dielectric barrier discharge chamber array. The process adapts dynamically to the environment without altering temperature or humidity.

Certified under the USDA National Organic Program as a chemical-free input (#2857), Oxyion operates with no added chemicals or residues. The plasma process collectively supports improved indoor environmental quality through continuous microbial load reduction.

Oxyion’s technology does not produce just one or two types of ions, but instead a full spectrum of seven specific sanitizing agents that together

results in longevity of plasma viability driving superior outcomes in a shorter timeframe than results purported by competing technologies. Additionally, Oxyion controls the “quality” of plasma created with the ability to manage the type of charged particles produced with specificity.

The Oxyion sanitizing system consists of a Modulated Dielectric Barrier Discharge (MDBD) Technology. The custom made HFM & SRM modules combine a frequency and voltage modulated pulse power supply circuit that drives a sealed Dielectric Barrier Discharge chamber array. The Oxyion technology adapts to the environment without changing the temperature or humidity.

The specific Oxyion technology process is approved as a chemical free sanitizer /disinfectant according to USDA National Organic Standards, with no restrictions to people or products. (#2857 Oxyion, Sanitizers/Disinfectants, un-restricted use) This ambient air driven process generates a specific non-thermal plasma with several reactive sub-compounds of oxygen and peroxides, including hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals that collectively produce a synergistic effect to actively eliminate airborne and surface-level microorganisms.

When Microorganisms Encounter Oxyion’s MDBD Technology

when-microorganisms-img

Supplemental Reduction Process

Oxyion’s MDBD process generates a controlled blend of oxygen-based compounds that interact with microorganisms in the environment and help reduce their overall presence. The primary compound produced is hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a stable molecule recognized for its role in supporting environmental hygiene.

These compounds are formed through natural oxygen reactions, similar to biological processes in which human immune cells produce hydrogen peroxide to help defend against microorganisms.

Over time, the reactive byproducts revert safely to water and oxygen, leaving no chemical residues.

The result is a continuous and balanced supplement to existing cleaning, ventilation, and hygiene practices—all under controlled conditions to ensure safe and consistent operation.

Advanced Air Process for Cleaner Indoor Environments

Oxyion technology is designed as an advanced enhancement to indoor air handling, ventilation, and HVAC systems. Ambient air passes through a specialized reaction chamber where it undergoes a controlled process that supports improvements in indoor air quality. The treated airflow is then seamlessly delivered into the designated areas.

Each system includes integrated smart controls that continuously manages performance. These controls adapt dynamically to environmental conditions, ensuring balanced operation and consistent results—without the need for added chemicals.

This approach provides a robust, reliable, and safe environmental air treatment solution that operates in alignment with recognized international standards and guidelines.
