Solutions for Air Purification Requirements |

Five Hawk Enterprises brings to Indian Nations and the rest of the world technology that can solve air purification problems. Five Hawk Enterprises can now provide Commercial and Residential air purification systems that satisfy any governmental or private industry requirement in the realm of mold remediation, elimination of “sick building syndrome”, and the elimination of the toxic elements of second hand smoke. Five Hawk Enterprises can provide its customers with a wide variety of air purification systems that are manufactured by Ecoquest International. These systems have been available for over 20 years and over 5 million systems have been installed in homes and businesses worldwide with over 60 billion hours of safe usage. For large commercial installations, Five Hawk has developed its own custom systems which are based on a state of the art air purification technology. These custom systems will be manufactured and installed by a major manufacturer and are designed to be integrated with any manufacturers’ roof top HVAC system. “Indoor Air Quality” (IAQ) is the #1 environmental health concern; as sited by the EPA, the U.S. House of Representatives and the World Health Organization. Modern engineering changes in facility construction, thermo pane windows, insulated walls and ceilings along with the wrapping of buildings with “TyVek” have made commercial and residential facilities so air-tight that these facilities no longer have the ability to off-gas toxic elements that create an indoor air environment that poses a serious health risk. Allergies, asthma and learning disabilities are on the rise and have been documented through numerous studies to be the direct result of poor indoor air quality. Massive changes to existing infrastructures to solve these indoor air quality problems have until recently been financially and logistically prohibitive for commercial businesses. Passive air purification systems using filtration and/or collector plates have been the main choice for many years; however, they do not eliminate bacteria, mold, and odor nor are they effective on most dust and particulates due to 98 % of all the particles being smaller than what most filters used today can trap. Even the best filtration is not effective enough to provide the level of IAQ to protect employees and patrons from serious health risks. Think about it, are there filters hanging from clouds? NO! So filtering is at best mediocre. If filtration systems were effective, then why is the IAQ problem not solved? Some facility engineers thought the solution was to increase ventilation, developing systems that provide 4 to 6 air exchanges an hour. However, given the high cost of energy now and surely in the future it will raise even more, it has and will continue to be impractical. Besides who wants the odor of vehicles, industrial processing, sewage gases, and other types of odors to be re-introduced into the air we breath indoors. Thus any solution to resolve indoor air quality issues must be affordable, simple to install, easy to operate and maintain. Plus it must be proven effective against most common forms of pollution and other airborne health concerns. Five Hawk Enterprises can now provide its customer’s with state of the art air purification systems that are cost effective, eliminating any unwanted odors and indoor air pollutants found in any facility. It has recently been proven that the technology offered by Five Hawk is effective in neutralizing airborne viruses like “Avian Flu”. Five Hawk systems are designed to address three major categories of Indoor Air Pollution: 1. Particulates – These consist of minute solids drifting in air currents. The particulates consist of dust, dander (skin flakes), soot, pollen, and smoke particles. Size range: .001 to 1.0 microns. 2. Microbes – These are bacteria, germs, viruses, fungi, spores, and mold. Size range: .001 to 10 microns. This includes the Avian Flu virus. How is this possible? A combination of processes known as the “Advanced Oxidation Process,” is utilized in the systems Five-Hawk installs for its customers. This process involves the combination of a high intensity UVX light with a specially developed rare metal hydrophilic coating applied to an engineered honeycombed matrix shell that forms the basis for what has become known as "Radiant Catalytic Ionization" (RCI). RCI technology reduces airborne contaminants, eliminates odors, and at the same time creating super-oxide ions and hydro-peroxide ions that is released into a room to purify the air. It is this combination of processes that effectively reduces and or eliminates odors, eliminates “total volatile organic compounds” (TVOCs) and eliminates and/or inactivates microorganisms. RCI cells are protected by a trade secret manufacturing process developed by Ecoquest International. In the diagram below, a detailed depiction of how the technology works is provided by the manufacturer and developer Ecoquest International.![]() The essence of this AOP processes is a unique proprietary air purification system that utilize five technologies called SynAirG 5® with EcoTech.
This process reacts with chemical pollutants found in indoor air, changing these elements into harmless CO2, O2 and trace amounts of H2O. For example, one of the most common pollutants in the indoor environment today is formaldehyde. Formaldehyde continually off-gasses from innumerable objects within a facility (carpeting, furniture, etc.) and is a leading respiratory irritant. When formaldehyde comes in contact with the oxidation process, formaldehyde is converted to formic acid and then to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and finally residual oxygen. 6(HCHO) + 4(O3) = 6(CH2O2) + 3(O2) + 6(CH2O2)+6(O3) = 6(CO2) + 6(H2O) + 6(O2) To accomplish full oxidation of six molecules of HCHO, four molecules of ozone are needed to convert HCHO to formic acid and six molecules of ozone to convert formic acid to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and residual oxygen. A total of nine molecules of residual oxygen will be released back into the ambient air as a byproduct of the RCI process. Just like a thunderstorm or fresh clean mountain air, Five Hawk Enterprises provides a way to eliminate the need to perform massive exchanges of inside air with outside air. The most common unit we provide uses less than 90 watts of power, has no costly replacement filters and requires very little maintenance. This unit is portable and about the size of a large toaster that plugs into the wall and purifies a room up to 3,000 sq. ft. The technology that is incorporated in these systems were certified in Space by NASA and tested and validated by many leading universities and testing labs. The air quality benefits produced by the products that Five Hawk offers is dramatic. Once again, Five Hawk products offer a proven means to alleviate many of the following IAQ concerns listed below:
In conclusion, by utilizing products with SynAirG 5 with EcoTec, along with other proprietary systems, Five Hawk Enterprises, in conjunction with its technical partner IAQ International, have the capability of satisfying any IAQ requirements regardless of facility size or usage. Achieving an IAQ standard that can provide any facility with an indoor air quality which is equal to or better than outside air. Not only is Five Hawk capable of providing its commercial customers with a healthier environment for its employees and patrons alike, it can also demonstrate an energy cost savings that equates to a capital purchase pay back within 4 to 5 years.

Five-Hawk Initial
Project completed Ho-Chunk Bingo Casino Bariboo, Wisconsin ![]() Ho-Chunk Bingo Casino is the site of Five-Hawk's first installation of a new state of the art air purification system.
The system was added to the existing HVAC System. According to pretesting and post testing results, the indoor air quality in the Bingo Casino underwent a vast improvement, equal to or fresher than outside air.
