 The operating principle of the technical solution consists in an alternative current that generates a plasma field which decomposes the air oxygen and water in oxygen radicals (active oxygen). This creates an oxidizing reaction at the contact with the air that results from the manufacturing process of tires, which neutralizes the odorant molecules.

Moreover, the company will also install a piece of equipment that will destroy the volatile compounds which appear in the manufacturing process by oxidizing them at high temperature.
