Odor
Control / Odor Suppression
A
major breakthrough in keeping industrial odors suppressed by “capturing”
them 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 odor-producing
chemicals in the air. It combines with the chemicals to make them
safe and odorless 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
odors 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 odors may have on residents who live near industrial premises.
More
importantly, long-term exposure to industrial odors is a 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™ helps
Spraying
a continuous aerosol of Aironaut™ is an effective and low-cost
method of odor 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.
How
Aironaut™ works
Aironaut™
works by using special surfacant 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.
