Purifan, Inc. is based in Wichita, Kansas. The Purifan holds 4 patents and has six patents pending. It was invented by Paul Fiacco, a geophysicist working in the oil industry. We began business in a small 400 sq ft office in Derby, Kansas a suburb of Wichita in 2000. The Company initially targeted the second-hand smoke removal market, but now is focused on improving indoor air quality for allergies, Asthma and odors in homes, offices, day care operations, schools, businesses, nursing homes and many other unique application areas.
Since the company started we have grown to more than 55 distributors and dealers in 46 states mostly by word-of-mouth. This is a true testament to the power and effectiveness of the Purifan Clean Air System. This is just the beginning; we plan to continue this growth and to expand our product line. We continue to look for quality dealers and retail partners to help sell, install and service Purifans.
Purifan has dedicated people who work hard every day to support customers, dealers and distributors with quality service and support. We can help get Purifans installed anywhere in the country, and we are working to expand our product line with additional air quality products.
Our corporate office is located in downtown Wichita and our distribution center is located in south Wichita.

Paul is the founder of the Company and the Inventor of the Purifan. Paul is a Geophysicist and worked in the oil industry. He was involved in a serious car accident and when he was homebound and wanted to smoke, he purchased every available air cleaner to see if he could control the smoke and odors. He decided all of them had inadequate air volume, were too noisy and very ineffective, so he committed to design a unit that works, and he came up with the Purifan design. Paul is married, lives in Derby, Kansas.
