Businesses locally and across the world are benefiting from a Dayton-based company’s air purification system that has seen sales growth during coronavirus pandemic.

Extreme Microbial Technologies has been developing and installing their technology in businesses, homes, food plants and more for years, but demand has increased since the outbreak of COVID-19 cases.

The air system works by putting out millions of molecules of hydrogen peroxide gas, which seek out and attack microbes throughout a treated space.

CEO Randall Mount assures that it is completely safe to be in the room while the system is running.

“We’re doing what nature does naturally outside, inside,” Mount said. “That’s really the secret sauce, is that it’s continuously running 24/7, so everything the air is touching, every surface, crack and crevice, its deactivating any virus or bacteria.”

Local businesses like JoJo’s Salon, James Free Jewelers, Skyline Chili and Lucky’s Taproom have recently installed the system to keep their employees and customers safe.

Jo Leonard, owner of JoJo’s Salon, said that she thought the system was something her salon needed to keep the guests and employees safe.

“We do have a lot of nooks and crannies,” Leonard said. “I just thought it would be a perfect time [to install the system], and I thought it would be an added bonus for [keeping the salon clean].”

Michael Karaman, owner of James Free Jewelers, said that his employees were happy with the installation and it made them feel more relaxed.

“It was something that made everyone comfortable and safe here,” Karaman said. “I want my guests, when they come in here, to be healthy.”

Mount said business has increased 100-fold since the coronavirus outbreak, and the system is currently getting tested for its effectiviness on the coronavirus.

“I was told that the test results were incredible,” Mount said.

Mount added that his system was not “a silver bullet,” but said that even decreasing the coronavirus by 50% with the technology would save lives.

“I got into this and started doing it so that we could have control over our environments and be active instead of being passive,” Mount said. “We’ve gone out of our way to really look at our local community.”

Karaman said the system was “worth every penny.”

“The Dayton community is a very strong community of different businesses,” Mount said. “It’s exciting to be able to make a local difference, and a global difference.”
