1TechnologyOverview
Ingersoll Rand manufactures and sells air and surface sanitation equipment using an exclusively
licensed technology. ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) are used to prolong the life of food and other
perishable products, increase food safety, remove odors from the air, and create a clean environment.
This is the Environment Management System (EMS) air and surface sanitation technology.
By destroying pathogens and contaminants, EMS air and surface sanitation technology significantly
improves air quality and product life. This technology creates a safer and cleaner environment and
therefore has great benefit when installed in any facility (warehouses, food processing centers, cold
storage units, etc.) where food and temperature sensitive products are processed or stored, or where
irritating and noxious odors exist.
EMS air and surface sanitation equipment has been shown to remove up to 99% of airborne and
surface contaminates under laboratory conditions. EMS also enhances product quality and life, and
meets FDA and USDA requirements.

Introducing EMS-3000 Series System
Current Technology
The EMS-3000 Series System draws in air from the environment. ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) are
created in the reaction chamber of the EMS-3000 Series System from some of the oxygen in the air. These
ROS significantly reduce carbon-based compounds including molds, bacteria, viruses, ethylene, odor
molecules, and other hydrocarbons.
The ROS include: Atomic Oxygen (O1), Superoxide (O2-), Singlet Oxygen (1O2), Peroxynitrite
(ONOO-), Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), Ozone (O3), and others.
Most ROS lasts for under 1 second and decays to common oxygen in the air. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
and ozone (O3) last for minutes to hours and move out of the reaction chamber to accomplish surface
sanitation as well as further air sanitation.
Approximately 90% of all purification takes place in the air in the purification chamber.
10% of the purification takes place on surface and in the air in the treated environment.
Since the room air (enclosed or partially enclosed space) is circulated through the EMS-3000 Series System,
the short-lived ROS within the purification chamber are able to carry on their oxidizing benefits. This is a
unique quality of the patented EMS systems in that no other technology is capable of producing these
species within a purification chamber while creating the ROS from the very air it is cleaning.
As the air is drawn through the purification chamber, the ROS oxidize mold, bacteria, ethylene and other
contaminants. Longer-lived ROS work in the treated space to continue to clean the air and to clean facility
and produce surfaces. The purifier works continuously and quietly to circulate ROS through the treated
space.
Since many food borne pathogens are airborne and cross-contamination occurs through air circulation, this
system greatly reduces cross-contamination in the treated environment. It is also effective in reducing the
ethylene levels in the air by oxidizing the carbon double bond structure of ethylene thereby creating water
(H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Technology Acceptance and Regulatory Standards
OSHA
Natural ground-level concentrations of ozone (O3) are typically 0.030ppm to 0.070ppm and may be higher
than 0.100ppm in urban areas.
OSHA 24 hour average exposure limit 0.050ppm
OSHA 8 hour average exposure limit 0.100ppm
OSHA Short-term exposure limit 0.300ppm
EMS is effective as a disinfectant and sterilizing agent at levels of 50% or below of that specified by OSHA
for 24-hour exposure levels.
The EMS-3000 Series System, as activated by an Ingersoll Rand EMS Certified Technician, operates at
controlled ozone levels well below the thresholds dictated by OSHA.
FDA
FDA issued (June 26, 2001) a GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) statement as to the use and application
of ozone in food processing.
EPA
EPA has standards for assuring that any equipment being sold as an ozone generator for use in the food
processing arena have an EPA Establishment Number and that the entity files an annual report disclosing
manufacturing and marketing of products in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Each piece of equipment bears the applicable EPA Establishment Number based on the physical site where
the purifier was manufactured.
USDA
USDA followed the FDA publication in December 2001 with its own regulation allowing for uses in meats
and poultry.
Organically Approved
The EMS-3000 Series System meets all organically approved regulations.

2EMS-3000 Series System Operation
The EMS-3000 Series System uses the airflow within the room to maximize the distribution of the ROS
(Reactive Oxygen Species). This unique feature is a major advantage of the EMS 3000 Series System
especially when it is used to treat the ambient air within a target environment.
The EMS-3000 Series System is installed inside the cold room, while the control equipment should be
installed on the exterior, providing reasonable access for the authorized operator and/or service personnel.
The ozone sensor is mounted in a location to control the EMS-3000 Series ROS Purifier for optimum
production of ROS.
The diffusion pipes are installed in a manner such that the ROS is distributed effectively in the airflow of
the blowers.

EMS-3000 Series System Components
The system consists of the Ingersoll Rand EMS-3000 Series ROS Purifier(s), diffusion system, control box,
and the ozone (O3) sensor. The EMS 3100 and EMS 3300 ROS Purifiers have different specifications.
EMS-3100 ROS Purifier
1. EMS-3100 ROS Purifier Indicators
Each EMS-3100 ROS Purifier has four (4) indicators located on the front face of the enclosure door to

12AWG or 14AWG wires to the control box.
3. Disconnect Switch
The disconnect switch turns the EMS-3100 ROS Purifier ON and OFF. The disconnect switch must be set
to OFF and the cabinet locks must be unlocked to open the purifier.
4. Enclosure Filter

7. Cabinet Lock
The cabinet locks keep the EMS-3300 ROS Purifier locked and protected against unauthorized intrusion.
Theymust be opened and the disconnect switch must be set to OFF to open the purifier.
EMS-3300 ROS Purifier
8. EMS-3300 ROS Purifier Indicators
Each EMS-3300 ROS Purifier has six (6) indicators located on the front face of the enclosure door to
provide visual feedback to the user. It is important to visuallyinspect the operation of the EMS-3300 ROS
Purifier on a regular basis to ensure proper operation. Figure 6 shows the indicators.
HIGH

MEDIUM
When lit indicates that the EMS-3300 ROS Purifier is producing ROS at partial capacity.
SYSTEM POWER
When lit indicates that the EMS-3300 ROS Purifier is connected to 120VAC.
CHECK SYSTEM
When lit the customer should contact an Ingersoll Rand EMS Certified Technician for service.
OTHER INDICATOR LIGHTS
There are two (2) additional indicators between the Medium and the High indicators. During the
activation process the Ingersoll Rand EMS Certified Technician will adjust the system to provide
higher or lower ROS capacity for the Medium setting. This will determine how many more lights are
illuminated.
