Thanks for sharing.  The product sounds good.  I'll note that Mr. Panoff seemed more casual in this interview than with his interview with Mr. Donald.

That interview is  a total nothing.  The Vikand rep does not say anything about the product except that it is wonderful but he really does not present any hard evidence or data that it actually works.  A pure puff piece of nothingness.  When I tried to open up the company WEB site to check them out, my Malware program told me that it was a dangerous and that I should not open it.

Probably UV light. Just my guess.

UV light is part of it. They call it "Hygensea"

The process actually looks interesting - might need more testing for proof of effectiveness against covid-19.

It would appear to be.  However, the site does not offer any links to actual data based studies of the proposed efficacy of the system.  What I would like to see is data showing the bacteria/virus load entering the Vikand unit, to see if there is actually a baseline amount of detectable bacteria/viruses being taken into the HVAC system.  I would also like to see what the "carry" distance of the proposed surface sanitizing is, in real life, finding the distance from the closest HVAC register to a surface, and the log10 reduction in pathogens over time both with and without the Vikand system in operation.  They really should, given that they are claiming public health solutions to link to peer reviewed case studies.

The article is from 2015...hardly an example of COVID-19 spurring "new and exciting developments". It's not a peer-reviewed scientific paper, but rather a promotional piece for the manufacturer of a brand of equipment named Odorox.
