The Best of Conventional Gas & Fog Methods Combined!
DryDecon™ Technology converts certified decontaminant or disinfectant solutions into a submicron aerosol vapor which, due to its smaller particle size, diffuses throughout an enclosed space evenly, won’t leave surfaces wet, and removes contaminants that linger within microscopic surface cracks.

DryDecon™ Technology
DryDecon™ Technology is our patented approach to decontamination and disinfection that involves rapidly converting any certified solution into a submicron aerosol that evenly diffuses throughout an enclosed space.
Systems built using DryDecon™ Technology can reach and neutralize chemical and biological (bacterial, viral, and spore) contaminants, destroying nearly all traces of harmful agents hiding within surface cracks and microscopic crevices.
Due to being compatible with a wide range of decontaminant and disinfectant solutions, DryDecon™ Technology has the capability to serve as the primary treatment strategy for COVID-19, Avian Influenza, Clostridium Difficile (C.Dif.), Salmonella, Staphylococcus (Staph), Escherichia coli (E. Coli), Sulfur Mustard (HD), as well as various other blistering gases, nerve agents, and similar threats.

DryDecon™ Technology Explained:
Traditional Decontamination Procedures are Obsolete
Traditional decontamination systems convert decontaminant or disinfectant solutions into a fog comprised of large particles that quickly fall to the ground after being released. As a result, dispersed particles are not spread evenly, do not penetrate deeply into surfaces, and cannot reach distant or elevated objects.
DryDecon™ Technology Solves Your Toughest Decontamination Challenges
DryDecon™ Technology resolves these issues by reducing the average size of the dispersed particles. The solution is converted into a lighter submicron aerosol vapor which spreads further and more evenly. This technique ensures that all airspace, surfaces, and objects are disinfected and decontaminated at a microscopic level
Fogging Technology Comparison
| Technology | Droplet Size | Key Features | Best Uses | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Submicron Fogging (<1 μm) | 0.1 – 0.9 μm | Ultra-fine mist, long air suspension | Air disinfection, tight spaces, electronics | – Reaches deep into air spaces – Minimal wetness – Long suspension time | – Limited surface deposit – Slower kill rates unless time is extended – May require longer exposure |
| ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) Fogging | 5 – 20 μm | High-velocity mist; combines air and surface coverage | Farms, warehouses, offices | – Efficient for surface disinfection – Good air & surface balance | – May wet surfaces – Droplets settle faster |
| Dry Fogging (Thermal or Cold) | 1 – 10 μm | Vapor-like mist, low moisture | Clean rooms, poultry, hatcheries | – Minimal moisture – Effective in enclosed spaces | – Limited range if no fan boost – Often needs PPE |
| Electrostatic Sprayers | 30 – 100 μm | Electrically charges droplets to “wrap” around surfaces | Equipment, walls poultry cages | – High surface coverage – Clings to 3D surfaces | – Not ideal for air disinfecting – Heavier droplets, fast settling |
| Traditional Misting Systems | 20 – 100+ μm | Simple nozzle-based spry | Cooling, dust control | – Inexpensive – Easy setup | – Very large droplets – Poor air disinfection – Can leave residue |
