The first modular, semi-industrial, and self-monitored system for odour treatment

Designed to address medium-scale indoor environments (such as offices and meeting rooms of odour-emitting industries) where domestic solutions fail to perform.

Bridging the Gap in Air Treatment

The Air Quality Challenge

Substandard indoor air quality and chemical or environmental odours in office areas directly reduce staff comfort, well-being, and workplace productivity. While domestic air purifiers cannot cope on a semi-industrial level (typically requiring 2 to 12+ air renewals per hour), industrial configurations are historically unsuited for commercial office aesthetics.

The Deodormatic Solution

Deodormatic was developed as an elegant, high-capacity modular unit standing approximately 2 metres tall. Operating silently, it dynamically treats complex indoor odour profiles on a semi-industrial scale. Integrated smart features allowed full automation and control via a custom cloud platform.

Technical Specifications & Innovation

Multi-Stage Filtration & Monitoring

  • Advanced Hybrid Filtration: Integrates high-performance Biofiltration, Activated Carbon (AC), and Photocatalysis (PC) to systematically neutralize volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  • Smart Sensor Array: Equipped with advanced temperature and filter-life tracking alongside an Instrumental Odour Monitoring System (IOMS).
  • Edge AI Integration: Cloud-connected algorithms capable of dynamic odour identification in real time.
  • Form & Function: Silent, comfortable, and easy-to-operate mobile tower architecture, specifically tailored for offices.

Integrated IOMS Gas Sensors

The automated monitoring core utilised state-of-the-art metal oxide (MOX) digital gas micro-sensors to continuously assess Total VOC (TVOC) levels and trace compound variations:

  • Bosch BME680: High-precision environmental gas resistance readings.
  • Sensirion SGP30: Multi-pixel sensor supporting broad TVOC (0 to 60,000 ppb) and equivalent CO₂ tracking.
  • AMS CCS811 & iAQ-Core: Specialized micro-modules for ultra-low power VOC concentration analysis.
