Meet LIXO – EKOion’s Specially Developed Solution for Odor-Free and Hygienic Waste Rooms

For property owners and managers, the waste and recycling room is often a recurring challenge, particularly during the warmer months of the year. While routines for regular cleaning, thorough bin washing, and clear sorting information are crucial, there is still a challenge that traditional methods fail to stop: The invisible, airborne odor molecules and gases.

The Hidden Challenge in the Plastics and Rubber Industry – How to Handle Chemical Gases from Thermal Processing

In the plastics and rubber industry, safety measures are often strictly focused on heavy machinery and physical handling. However, when materials are heated, melted, injection-molded, or welded, another more elusive challenge arises that standard ventilation systems struggle to address: invisible chemical gases and VOC emissions.

The Hidden Challenge in Production How to Handle VOCs and Invisible Chemical Emissions

In the manufacturing industry, it is easy to focus on what is visible. Grinding dust, welding smoke, and material shavings are tangible problems usually managed with traditional source extraction and ventilation. However, there is another, more elusive challenge that standard ventilation systems often fail to address: invisible gases and chemical emissions.

Healthier Firefighters – Time to Secure the Air Quality in Fire Stations

Across Sweden, emergency services are actively implementing the Healthy Firefighters (Friskare Brandmän) protocol. Strict routines for handling contaminated gear, washing response clothing immediately after an incident, and creating designated "clean zones" within stations have become vital standards for protecting personnel.

English: Clean Air in School Workshops – An Overlooked Challenge for the Educational Working Environment

The school woodworking shop is a space for creativity and hands-on learning, but it is also one of the most demanding environments within an educational facility when it comes to air quality. While the smell of freshly cut wood is often associated with nostalgic memories, from an occupational health perspective, the dust suspended in the air is a clear indicator of an invisible hazard.

Safe Welding Requires More Than Just a High-Quality Visor – Are You Addressing the Invisible Risks?

Inom svensk industri är vi världsledande på personlig skyddsutrustning. Vi har svetshjälmar med avancerade friskluftsmasker och effektiva punktutsug som standard på de flesta verkstäder. Vi är, med rätta, stolta över hur vi skyddar svetsaren direkt vid källan.

Say Goodbye to Summer Odor Problems in the Waste Room – How to Create a Fresher Living Environment

As summer temperatures rise, so do the challenges within a building's waste and recycling rooms. For many property owners and managers, this is a recurring issue: food waste stored in the heat quickly begins to smell, leading to several negative side effects.

Optimizing Operations: Why Air Purification is a Strategic Investment

In the wastewater treatment sector, it is well known that processing operations generate odors. While often viewed as just a part of the job, the gases responsible—primarily hydrogen sulfide—present a hidden challenge: they are technically aggressive and directly impact the facility's lifespan.

Air Quality – The Critical Factor for Safe Food Production

Inom livsmedelsindustrin läggs stora resurser på ythygien och strikta rengöringsprotokoll. Det är grundpelaren för att säkerställa produktkvalitet och konsumentsäkerhet. Men en av de största riskfaktorerna är ofta den som inte lämnar spår på en avtorkad yta: luften i produktionslokalerna.

Ionized air against depression

High concentrations of negative ions make the winter depressed feel better.

History of ionization

Albert Einstein already suspected at the turn of the century that it was not ozone that made his lung-sick relative healthy, as was claimed at his stay at the sanatorium in the Swiss Alps. That prompted Einstein to start researching the absorption of light by oxygen.

Renare luft med jonisering

With ionization, indoor air is purified in the same way that nature purifies outdoor air. The result — a cleansing inhalation.

Cost-effective and environmentally smart

Ekoion's ionization equipment allows you to circulate and ionize existing indoor air several times. An estimated 30 to 80 percent can be returned.

The Importance of Good Indoor Air

You do know that an adult human breathes about 25 pounds or 20,000 gallons of air a day, right? Or that we Swedes spend 90 percent of our time indoors? That is why it is so important to us to have clean and fresh indoor air, both at home and in our workplaces.

How ionization occurs

Ekoion's products mimic nature's own method of ionization.
