Problem
Conventional air purifiers rely on HEPA or carbon filters to remove particulates but fail to address elevated indoor CO₂ levels, which can reach up to 2200 ppm. This buildup contributes to fatigue, headaches, reduced mental clarity, and other health issues, especially in enclosed spaces like offices, gyms, and homes.
Solution
OceanLux offers OceanTree, a next-generation air purifier that uses algae to replicate artificial photosynthesis, actively absorbing CO₂ and releasing fresh oxygen into indoor environments. Unlike traditional purifiers that merely filter air, OceanTree continuously produces oxygen, making it suitable for enclosed spaces where CO₂ buildup threatens productivity and well-being. The system operates 24x7, combining particle filtration with live oxygen generation to create healthier, cleaner indoor air. It also functions as a green building product, helping reduce carbon footprint while aligning with sustainability standards such as ASHRAE.
Target Audience
Primary customers include office managers, gym owners, and homeowners in Tier 1 cities seeking improved indoor air quality, as well as real estate developers and building operators aiming to meet green building certification requirements.
