Equipment developed and implemented by "Potok Inter" can improve the quality of products, which increases the shelf life and sales geography, and decreases spoilage and returns. The experience accumulated by the company's specialists helps them to give recommendations on improving the quality of air in contact with the product in real production conditions, and also to develop in-house air quality regulations and standards for food production companies.
01
In addition to the Russian Federation, Potok units are registered and successfully used in the USA, European Union, CIS states and Asian countries.

02
A series of scientific experiments by “Potok Inter” confirmed that the Potok-based equipment allows achieving lower disease incidence at schools and pre-school institutions, offices, and other crowded premises.
03
In the food industry, biosafety of products has received world-wide attention in recent years.
04
In addition to space technologies, "Potok Inter" has been dealing with problems on Earth for many years.
For more than 25 years, the company has been conducting research
and developing and manufacturing equipment for healthcare facilities, especially for rooms where air purity is a matter of life and death. In 2011, "Potok Inter" received the "Calling" award ("To the Best Doctors of Russia") in the category "For contributions made to the development of medicine by representatives of fundamental science and non-medical professions".
05
The Potok air decontamination technology was developed for use as part of the life support system within the Buran Soviet space program.
Later on, the effort by the scientists in the field of microbiological control of the gas medium during long-term human flights in space was put into practice on the Mir station. The equipment based on the Potok technology was delivered there to fight the mold and other dangerous microorganisms. Today, Russian cosmonauts and NASA astronauts utilize similar equipment at ISS.
Feedback on Potok Inter
Central Research Institute of Tuberculosis
"The Potok equipment can be used in the presence of people for decontaminating and disinfecting air in tuberculosis healthcare facilities in the laboratories, operating rooms, dressing rooms, patients' rooms, vivariums, and other units, where people work with pathogenic material."
Director, Professor, Dr. of Med. Sci. Vladislav Erokhin
Scriabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms
"In case of a single run of a highly concentrated lyophilized aerosol containing Pseudomonas fluorescens, Micrococcus luteus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, during a period of exposure of about 0.5 seconds, Potok ensures their effective, close to 100% (but not less than 99.99%, taking into account the experimental error) inactivation".
Head of Laboratory, Dr. of Biol. Sci., prof. Vitaly Duda
Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of The Federal Service on Customers' Rights Protection and Human Well-being Surveillance (Russia)
To prevent the circulation of pathogens of viral infections, including COVID-19, the 15 laboratory facilities of the Institute were equipped with the Potok standalone air decontamination units.
During the whole time that the devices are working, not a single case of infection and forced self-isolation of the staff was recorded (over 200 people are working with the biomaterial to detect SARS-CoV-2).
Head of the laboratory of infections related to medical care A. V. Tutelyan
S.P. Botkin City Clinical Hospital
"Since 2007, in the 22nd surgical building of the S.P. Botkin City Clinical Hospital, the air in 25 operating and intensive care rooms in the supply ventilation and air conditioning system has been purified by the Potok equipment <...> I consider it possible to recommend its use in healthcare facilities as it increases the effectiveness of treatment, simplifies maintenance and significantly reduces operational costs".
Chief Physician Aleksey Shabunin
City Clinical Hospital No. 24
The Potok air decontamination system is easy to maintain, effective and reliable to operate, and it constantly monitors the units' performance. The lack of consumables and low power consumption can significantly reduce operating costs. During the time these systems were operating, there was a decrease in the incidence of postoperative complications and sepsis.
Chief Physician Grigory Rodoman
Scientific Research Institute of Emergency Pediatric Surgery and Traumatology
"Air sampling in the rooms where the Potok air decontamination units were operating showed there were no pathogenic microflora in the air. We believe that this indicator significantly affects the risk of infection and complications in the postoperative period. <...> We are extremely pleased that such high-quality equipment has been successfully used in our hospital for many years."
Director, Professor Leonid Roshal
Eurokappa dentistry
For all operating time of the Potok equipment, there have been no cases of postoperative infectious complications, even during an unfavorable epidemiological situation due to the outbreak of COVID-19, no one’s gotten sick in our dental clinic.
Units work around the clock and are easier to operate.
We recommend to use Potok units wherever there is a risk of spreading viruses and infections, infecting staff with nosocomial infections.
CEO D. V. Melsitova
Scientific and practical center for medical care for children with developmental defects of the craniofacial region and congenital diseases of the nervous system
"The results of studies of sanitary and microbiological indicators regularly conducted by the Center's epidemiological service confirm the technology is effective. Bacteriological indicators of air microbial content for the entire service life did not exceed the standards established by SanPin 2.1.3.2630-10 ".
Deputy Director for Engineering A.Yu. Pundikov
N.N. Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital
"Regular microbiological studies of the air produced while Potok was operating in the rooms show that they comply with the regulations for the established classes of clean rooms. For example, in the operating unit, air microbial content did not exceed 150-200 CFU/m3 (with the standard of up to 500 CFU/m3.

"The results of many years of microbiological research conducted onboard the Mir orbital space station and the International Space Station have shown that the Potok decontamination units are an effective means for ensuring biological purity and air safety. They inactivate microorganisms that form the microflora of the environment of manned spacecraft and keep the air in a normalized sanitary and microbiological state."
Head of the Microbiology of Environment and Antimicrobial Protection Laboratory Natalia Novikova
NASA, Johnson Space Center
"The results show that no fungi were detected, the bacterial levels in the air samples collected in the functional cargo unit (FCU) were good, within the established tolerance limits. Quantitative indicators are approximate, based on the data of the onboard chart comparing the growth and density of colonies made by the ISS crew. The levels of microorganisms indicated in the report were obtained after a 5-day incubation period."
