AIR+ AND HAYES GROUP: ADVANCING AIR QUALITY AND ODOR CONTROL ACROSS INDUSTRIES

In today’s industrial, commercial, and municipal environments, air quality is no longer a secondary concern, it is a critical component of operational performance, safety, and environmental responsibility. From wastewater treatment plants to commercial buildings, organizations are seeking more effective, efficient, and sustainable ways to manage airborne contaminants, odors, and corrosive gases.

Through the partnership between Air+, an emerging leader in advanced air purification technology, and Hayes Group, one of the Northeast’s most established distributors of process equipment and engineered solutions, customers gain access to innovative, field-proven air treatment systems backed by deep application expertise and localized support.

Hayes Group: A Trusted Partner for Process Solutions

With over a century of experience, Hayes Group delivers high-quality equipment, application-driven engineering, and comprehensive service, repair, and system integration. Our team works closely with customers to solve complex process challenges, taking a system-wide approach that extends into air quality and odor control.

Air+: A Modern Approach to Air Purification

Air+ is an environmental technology company focused on proactive air purification using bipolar ionization technology, designed to improve air quality across a wide range of industries and environments.

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Rye, New York, Air+ develops systems that:

• Remove airborne pollutants

• Neutralize odors

• Reduce harmful gases

• Improve overall indoor air quality

Their solutions are used in applications ranging from schools and healthcare facilities to industrial environments such as wastewater treatment plants, where air quality challenges are often more severe and operationally impactful.

Air+ products are extensively tested and designed to deliver measurable results, including reducing odors, deactivating airborne pathogens, and enhancing environmental conditions across occupied and process spaces.

How Air+ Technology Works

At the core of Air+ systems is bipolar ionization (BPI)—a process that generates both positively and negatively charged ions and distributes them into the air through HVAC systems or localized treatment units.

Once released, these ions actively interact with airborne contaminants:

• Particle Reduction: Ions cause particles like dust, pollen, and mold spores to cluster, making them easier to capture in filtration systems

• Odor Neutralization: Ionization breaks down odor-causing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

• Pathogen Deactivation: Certain viruses and bacteria can be disrupted at a cellular level, improving overall air safety

This technology enables continuous, real-time air treatment without requiring chemicals or significant ongoing maintenance.

Key Applications: Wastewater and Industrial Environments

One of the most impactful applications of Air+ technology is in municipal and industrial wastewater systems, where odor control and corrosion mitigation are constant challenges.

Air+ systems are designed to address:

• Lift stations and wet wells

• Treatment plant buildings

• Tanks and headworks

• Industrial processing facilities

Using ionization, these systems neutralize H₂S, ammonia, and VOCs at the molecular level, eliminating odors and reducing corrosion in critical infrastructure.

Key Benefits:

• Chemical-Free Operation: No need for chemical scrubbers or consumable media

• Low Maintenance: Minimal moving parts and no ongoing chemical handling

• Energy Efficiency: Treats large air volumes with low power consumption

• Improved Safety: Creates a healthier work environment for plant personnel

For facilities struggling with persistent odor complaints, infrastructure degradation, or maintenance-intensive systems, Air+ provides a modern alternative to traditional odor control methods.

Flexible Solutions for Any Environment

Air+ offers a versatile range of products capable of addressing both small-scale and large-scale air treatment needs. Their solutions can:

• Integrate directly into existing HVAC systems

• Treat airflows ranging from small rooms to large industrial air handlers

• Operate in continuous, automated modes with minimal intervention

Products such as duct-mounted ionizers, fan-mounted systems, and standalone odor control units allow facilities to tailor solutions based on their layout and operational requirements.

In more challenging environments, such as wastewater facilities or industrial processing plants, Air+ also offers specialized systems like ionization-based scrubbers designed for continuous odor reduction and corrosion control.

The Value of Hayes Group and Air+ Together

While Air+ provides advanced technology, successful implementation depends on proper system selection, integration, and long-term support. This is where Hayes Group plays a critical role.

By working with Hayes Group, customers benefit from:

• Application expertise: Matching Air+ systems to real-world operating conditions

• System integration: Ensuring compatibility with existing equipment and processes

• Local support: Responsive service, maintenance, and troubleshooting

• Proven distribution network: Access to best-in-class manufacturers and solutions

Hayes Group’s long-standing experience in fluid handling, process systems, and municipal infrastructure uniquely positions them to deliver complete, engineered air quality solutions—not just standalone products.

A Smarter Approach to Air Quality

As industries continue to prioritize safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency, the demand for more intelligent air treatment solutions will only grow. The combination of Air+’s innovative ionization technology and Hayes Group’s application-driven expertise provides a powerful approach to meeting these challenges.

From wastewater treatment plants managing odor and corrosion to commercial and industrial facilities improving indoor air quality, this partnership delivers measurable results—helping organizations create cleaner, safer, and more efficient environments.
