1.3. Description
-
LEVANTE is an air sanitization and purification device intended for indoor
environments. The system is based on the principle of photocatalysis. By moving air
across a support impregnated with a solution based on copper metal nanoclusters.
LEVANTE does not use any type of additional electrostatic filtration.
Thanks to the oxidation reaction and the products that derive from them by virtue of
the energizing activity resulting from the action of the catalyst, the air is sanitized and
purified by systematically eliminating the harmful agents present in it, such as:
 Virus
 SARS-CoV-2 (*)

Bacteria

Fungi
 Molds

Volatile organic substances Nitrogen oxides

Bad odors
 PM2,5 and PM10
(*):
The inactivation of the infectious viral load SARS-CoV-2 was verified according to
tests performed at the viral pathogenesis and biosecurity laboratory of the San
Raffaele hospital in Milan. The test was performed in a liquid environment on a
circular shaped test object.
