Aviation Clean Air (ACA) announced that it has finalized an agreement with Embraer for the installation of its ionization purification system as a factory-approved production option in Phenoms and Praetors. The ACA system has also been approved for installation as an aftermarket option.
“We are pleased that Embraer has chosen to include the ACA system as an option for new aircraft owners, as well as for aircraft already in service,” said ACA managing member Howard Hackney. “The proactive ACA system improves interior air quality and neutralizes pathogens. Although the system had been installed on a variety of aircraft models for several years, the advent of Covid-19 brought the need to mitigate the spread of that virus and others into sharper focus.”
According to Hackney, the system is installed in the aircraft’s environmental control system (ECS) and functions automatically when the ECS is running. It provides continuous decontamination of the aircraft interior without any harm to cabin furnishings or components, while requiring no scheduled maintenance, he noted.
ACA’s facilities are located adjacent to the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Savannah, Georgia, and near Los Angeles, California.
