The challenge

The problem this technology addresses

Primary use cases: crowded public spaces (train stations, schools, hospitals, banks, retail); agricultural pathogen control (ASF, bird flu); emergency response; pandemic preparedness. Industries and users: public health authorities, agriculture ministries, emergency management, large facilities. Scale: high-output system with area coverage adjustable per deployment, from single rooms to large public venues.

ARBOK solution

How the ARBOK system creates value

3X is a compact, operator-controlled ultraviolet pulse generator delivering high-intensity pulsed output, adjustable to the treatment area, for rapid disinfection of large areas from pathogens (COVID-19, African swine fever, bird flu, tuberculosis, salmonella, and other infections). A single system eliminates 100% of pathogens in a short pulse-based treatment cycle across indoor and outdoor spaces. Safe for humans and animals; sanitation occurs without personnel present. Deployable on robotic platforms. Fully autonomous operation. No analogs exist globally; high export potential.

Generates intense UV pulses at controlled frequency and intensity; UV radiation (germicidal spectrum) penetrates cell walls of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, destroying DNA/RNA and rendering pathogens inert. Single or double-pulse protocol eliminates pathogens within seconds. System includes innovative pre- and post-treatment pathogenic-air locator for verification. Operator-controlled (single person); powered by mains or batteries. Zero residual chemical. No personnel required during treatment.

Market and application

Commercial opportunity

Pandemic prevention, agricultural disease control, and public health infrastructure are global priorities. Estimated market: thousands of units globally; addressable $2–5 billion over 5–10 years. No competitive technology exists; early adopters in EU, USA, Asia.

CAPEX: €500k–2M per unit (depending on mobile platform integration). OPEX: minimal (electricity only). Cost per treatment: <€10. ROI: positive within 1–2 years for high-volume deployments (hospitals, airports, food processing).

Use cases

Where the technology can be applied

Primary use cases: crowded public spaces (train stations, schools, hospitals, banks, retail); agricultural pathogen control (ASF, bird flu); emergency response; pandemic preparedness. Industries and users: public health authorities, agriculture ministries, emergency management, large facilities. Scale: high-output system with area coverage adjustable per deployment, from single rooms to large public venues.

Deployment follows a straightforward sequence: site assessment, unit positioning, single-operator activation, pulse-based treatment, and verification via the integrated locator. Personnel evacuate the treated area during the process, and a full deployment cycle is fast enough to allow the unit to be redeployed to the next site within the same working session.

Compatible with robotic platforms (autonomous vacuum-cleaner-type robots); integrates with HVAC systems for air disinfection; deployable in existing facilities without modification.

Primary use cases: crowded public spaces (train stations, schools, hospitals, banks, retail); agricultural pathogen control (ASF, bird flu); emergency response; pandemic preparedness. Industries and users: public health authorities, agriculture ministries, emergency management, large facilities. Scale: high-output system with area coverage adjustable per deployment, from single rooms to large public venues.

Operating Principle

Generates intense UV pulses at controlled frequency and intensity; UV radiation (germicidal spectrum) penetrates cell walls of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, destroying DNA/RNA and rendering pathogens inert. Single or double-pulse protocol eliminates pathogens within seconds. System includes innovative pre- and post-treatment pathogenic-air locator for verification.

Architecture and Components

High-intensity UV pulse generator; UV lamp array; pulse control electronics; integrated pathogenic-air locator (pre/post-treatment verification); operator interface; safety interlocks; mains/battery power supply. Modular, deployable standalone or on mobile platform.

Advantages

Technical: instant pathogen elimination; 100% efficacy; no consumables; no residual chemicals; safe for humans/animals; automated. Economic: rapid deployment; no ongoing treatment costs; single-operator control; reusable across multiple locations. Environmental: zero chemical discharge; no waste byproducts. Strategic: pandemic-ready; applicable to multiple pathogen types; no global analogs; export potential.

Integrations

Compatible with robotic platforms (autonomous vacuum-cleaner-type robots); integrates with HVAC systems for air disinfection; deployable in existing facilities without modification.

Deployment & Operation

Deployment follows a straightforward sequence: site assessment, unit positioning, single-operator activation, pulse-based treatment, and verification via the integrated locator. Personnel evacuate the treated area during the process, and a full deployment cycle is fast enough to allow the unit to be redeployed to the next site within the same working session.

TRL

TRL 8 — System complete and qualified. Working prototype (Ukraine) tested and operational. Requires: international certification (European/international patents), technical documentation, and final steps toward mass production.

Market Potential

Pandemic prevention, agricultural disease control, and public health infrastructure are global priorities. Estimated market: thousands of units globally; addressable $2–5 billion over 5–10 years. No competitive technology exists; early adopters in EU, USA, Asia.

Typical Project Economics

CAPEX: €500k–2M per unit (depending on mobile platform integration). OPEX: minimal (electricity only). Cost per treatment: <€10. ROI: positive within 1–2 years for high-volume deployments (hospitals, airports, food processing).

Risk Factors
