    In recent years, the need for the removal of bacteria and viruses-in addition to air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5), yellow sand and pollen-has been increasing in order to prevent the health damage that they can cause. To deal with this issue, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Power Environmental Solutions, Ltd. (MHI) developed and commercialized two types of new air purifier for effectively purifying large-scale spaces, to which we applied our proprietary technologies for the Electrostatic Precipitator (hereinafter referred to as ESP) that have been acquired through the development of Air Quality Control Systems (AQCS) for power generating plants. Both devices can be expected to reduce the activity of viruses through the application of ozone generated in the devices by using electric discharge technologies (see chapter 2.3). "Ozopure," which collects particulates by electrostatic force with high efficiency and "Ozone Raiser," which is a portable device specialized for ozone supplying and can be moved to any desired place, can be selected according to the intended use. This report introduces the features of each product and operation examples in hospitals.
