Odour Control by AiroNaut™
A major breakthrough in keeping industrial odour control by “capturing” malodours rather than simply masking them
has been pioneered by Probe Industries.
The company’s sophisticated AiroNaut™
solution is designed to be heavily diluted in water and sprayed
-- ideally using Probe’s Rotary
Atomisers -- on to odour-producing chemicals in the air. It
combines with the chemicals to make them safe and odourless and
then pulls them down to the ground.
Normally the only answer is to spray a pleasant
fragrance to mask the unpleasant one -- Probe takes a more scientific
and effective approach. AiroNaut™ is a
very exciting product, and one which is certain to be widely taken
up.
Why
it matters
Industrial odours are a major environmental
problem. They can create an unpleasant working environment,
which is obviously of concern to those who are required to work
there. Of great concern also is the affect such odours may have
on residents who live near industrial premises.
More importantly, long-term exposure to industrial odours is
a kind of passive form of pollution. There is the prospect of
long-term damage to health, with the environmental and legal
issues which that would raise.
How
AiroNaut™ works
AiroNaut™
works by using special surfactant reagents which help the minute
water droplets to take up the organic substances which produce
smells -- something which does not normally happen. This is done
by creating “clusters” of molecules inside the droplets
which trap the odours which then fall to the ground with the water
rather than returning to the air as gas.
AiroNaut itself is completely safe
and has been tested for all major hazards.
How
AiroNaut™ helps
Spraying a continuous aerosol of AiroNaut™
is an effective and low-cost method of odour control, even in
difficult situations such as industrial premises and sewerage
works. In fact the product is so effective that if it is used
properly, the smell is entirely eradicated by the time it reaches
the outer limits of the area sprayed.
In order to work, AiroNaut™
must be applied using an accurate and precise spraying system
which produces microscopic droplets of a consistent size. Ultrasonic,
air assisted and misting nozzles can be used, but Probe Industries
strongly suggests that AiroNaut™ is used
with its Rotary Atomiser system.
