New REME HALOTM and QR+

REME HALOTM GUARDIAN QR+TM

In 2014, RGF introduced the next generation of the Guardian Air REME® and Guardian Air PHI In Duct Air Purification
Units. The REME HALOTM 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
it in the HVAC plenum. Another new feature, which was developed on both the REME HALOTM 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
mounting flange from the plenum. This feature will make changing out the REME® or PHI Cell® much easier for the
technician. The new versions of the REME® and PHI units are available now.

RGF and the Food SanitaƟon Industry

Canadian Food Safety Symposium

Bill Svec, VP of Industrial Water and Food Safety products,
exhibited and presented in Toronto this past October. The
Canadian Meat Council technical symposium was titled “Food
Safety Intervention Strategies” and included a number of
industry professionals and academia. The purpose of the
symposium was to introduce and discuss current pathogen
control methods as well as emerging technologies. The RGF
presentation focused on the successful use of
Photohydroionization (PHI) as a safe and effective
microbial intervention for the meat industry in Canada.

North American Meat Association Outlook Conference

RGF exhibited at the North American Meat Association Outlook Conference held in Charleston, SC this past September.
The conference addressed a number of issues facing the meat industry, including the new Food Safety Modernization Act
(FSMA), which is substantially changing the entire food industry. Dr. Jim Marsden, Distinguished Professor, Food Safety &
Security, Kansas State University, was inducted into the “Meat Hall of Fame” honoring his work in the industry. Dr. Marsden
has performed numerous validations on RGF anti-microbial technologies at KSU.

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

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 cre-
ate 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” ion-
izer. 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 de-
vice.
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

REME HALO2 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.

New Technology for 2015

REME2 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
that is also unique to this new catalytic material. The new REME2 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 product for 2015.

NEW

HVAC Test Chamber

RGF unveils the newest addition to its already expansive in-
house 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 WindTM
RGF announces the new Polar WindTM 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. Patent -pending

and pulled pork with all the fixins right on site. Before and after everyone had eaten, we practiced our shooting skills on
flying clay pigeons. Boom Boom...don’t forget your earplugs! Later in the day before dusk, the dove hunters moved into the
field, where they were assigned a spot. The doves started to come into the field to feed... and then the dove shoot was
underway. The target practice came in handy because many doves were displayed at the end of the event. This was an
excellent opportunity to get to know other industry professionals, eat some great BBQ, laugh a little and enjoy the outdoors!
