033 ARIA
‘ARIA’ is a new patent-pending technology that offers a breath of fresh air. It is a versatile, compact, modular system that provides air purification in domestic and work environments, specifically addressing Sick Building Syndrome. It assures enhanced air quality and the consequential reduction of diseases caused by airborne pollutants often associated with enclosed environments. Like a typical photo-bioreactor, this low-cost, elegant, organic device uses the absorption and metabolization capacity of aquatic plants.

La tecnologia 'Aria' Indoor (PCT patent pending in Europa, Cina e USA) propone e realizza un sistema ad elevata versatilità e modularità che permette la purificazione dell’aria in ambienti domestici e lavorativi garantendo il miglioramento della qualità dell’aria e la conseguente riduzione di malattie da inquinanti (chimici, biologici, particolati, microbiologici) normalmente presenti in ambienti confinati. Il sistema, con principio di funzionamento tipico di un fotobioreattore, utilizza la capacità di assorbimento e di metabolizzazione di una comunità biologica di facile reperimento, sfruttando il contatto aria-acqua, conciliando efficienza, costo e gradevolezza estetica dell’apparato proponibile.
