The final tests will be carried out in a 56-seat passenger coach, offered by Greyhound Lines, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, at company’s research & development facility in St. Petersburg. Additionally to testing the efficiency of the PATI system in removing biological and chemical contaminants, the test regime, which will be witnessed by Greyhound engineers, will assess the killing power of the PATI system for insects, mainly cockroaches. Pure Air Control Systems, Inc., (PACS) of Clearwater, Florida, an EPA and NOISH-accredited environmental testing company, will independently monitor the tests.
We have every confidence in the effectiveness of the PATI system to kill cockroaches and other bugs, stated EClips Energy Technologies’ Chief Executive Officer, Ben Croxton. We have empirical evidence that has been independently confirmed in practical testing, showing that our system eliminates bacteria, viruses, microbes, spores, yeasts, molds, mildews, hydrocarbons and human odors. The PATI system can produce ‘sterile’ air in which all contaminants have been completely removed.
Many tests of the PATI system have been performed in the passenger coaches, kindly made available to company by the Martz Group, during the first four months of 2009. Results from each test showed that human odors, irritant fumes, and both airborne and ingrained contaminants in the seating fabrics and surfaces of the coaches were eliminated by the PATI treatment, leaving them in almost brand new condition. In the most recent test on a passenger coach, a before and after monitoring of the air inside the coach was made by PACS and confirmed previous findings.
The PATI system was at first specified by NASA for long term space flights. The company acquired the pending patents two years ago from University of Florida and has developed numerous commercial applications for industrial, transportation and domestic sectors. The final tests, scheduled for mid-May 2009, will finish the evaluation of the PATI unit’s sterilizing power and allow the company to specify pre-production prototypes for manufacture.
