Probe Industries, a global innovator in industrial odour and dust control technology, has launched an industry-first odour elimination and enhancement solution. AiroVive® transforms air quality at food and nutraceutical processing plants to meet legal requirements for cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environments for workers, visitors and surrounding communities.
A common source of intense and persistent odours, large-scale food and nutritional product processing sites handle a range of activities, including ingredient handling and storage, bulk powders processing, animal byproduct processing and slaughterhouses, high heat cooking applications, and waste, sludge and slurry management. Organic food waste can lead to anaerobic decomposition, releasing sulphur compounds such as hydrogen sulphide.
Odour control falls under two basic principles: reduction of odours at the generation sources, or removal of odours from collected gaseous streams before discharge into the atmosphere. Source control is always the first choice for odour management.i
AiroVive is based on Probe Industries’ established AiroPure® technology, a patented odour elimination solution which works at molecular level to destroy odours and harmful compounds at source. The innovative formula is non-hazardous, non-toxic and ISO14001 compliant to meet environmental targets.
Independent performance testsii show a 100 percent reduction in sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide emissions and a 99.4 percent reduction in ammonia and amines using AiroPure, with employees at trial sites reporting a significant improvement in air quality and working conditions.
The new AiroVive is the world’s first industrial mood-boosting odour enhancer that combines a biodegradable, non-toxic odour neutralizer with fragrance design. It not only captures and contains odour at source but also adds an additional layer of scent, developed in consultation with world-renowned fragrance experts and inspired by the restorative powers of nature to add a wellbeing boost. AiroVive can integrate directly into existing misting, direct spray and liquid injection operations for flexible deployment across a wide range of applications.
Victoria Taylor, CEO at Probe Industries comments, “Industrial odours affect air quality as well as workplace performance and productivity. With evidence linking poor air quality and malodours to headaches, irritation, fatigue, low mood, stress and other health-related symptoms, operators face increasing pressure from regulators and local communities to improve air quality and control odour and emissions in line with environmental laws and permit conditions.iii
“Based on more than 30 years of neuroscience and developed using detailed consumer research supported by artificial intelligence, AiroVive replaces unpleasant odours with mood-enhancing fragrances, demonstrating a strong commitment to both the workforce and the local community, in full regulatory compliance.”
AiroVive is the latest extension of Probe Industries’ world-class portfolio of patented systems which help make industrial environments cleaner, safer and more sustainable in compliance with ISO14001.
