Problem
Indoor agriculture facilities and food cold storage units face significant challenges in controlling airborne pathogens, odors, and microbial growth, leading to potential crop losses, reduced food quality, and increased operational costs. Traditional cleaning methods are often labor-intensive, inconsistent, and may not reach all critical areas, leaving facilities vulnerable to contamination.
Solution
Chorus provides smart antimicrobial systems that deliver continuous pathogen protection and odor control for indoor environments. Utilizing a patented chlorine dioxide generation technology, Chorus systems automatically generate and maintain precise, low levels of ClO2 in the air and on surfaces. Integrated sensors continuously monitor the environment, adjusting output to maintain optimal conditions, while a user-friendly dashboard and mobile app provide real-time data and insights. Chorus systems offer a hands-off, automated solution for reducing microbial counts, improving air quality, and supporting food freshness in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and food cold storage applications.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes indoor agriculture operators seeking to control odors and pathogens in grow rooms, as well as food cold storage facilities aiming to maintain food freshness and safety.
