 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).

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.
