Mitas
L'expansion de la ville a entraîné des plaintes relatives aux odeurs
Mitas, une usine de pneus en caoutchouc située à Prague, a fait l'objet de plaintes relatives aux odeurs pendant de nombreuses années. L'usine a été construite dans les années 1930 par Michelin, à l'origine en dehors de la ville. Au fil des ans, l'usine s'est développée, tout comme la ville de Prague. Des appartements en hauteur ont été construits à proximité de l'usine au fur et à mesure que la ville s'étendait. Les nouveaux résidents se sont plaints des odeurs provenant de l'usine.
Mitas tested several odour reduction technologies for five years and decided upon the Aerox®-Injector.
In search of an odour control solution, Mitas tested several different technologies. None of the technologies tested gave them enough confidence to implement in their production process. In 2005 however, Aerox carried out a pilot test with very promising results. Two compact Aerox®-Injectors were able to treat the airflow coming from two mixing lines and remove almost all of the rubber smell.
Proven effectiveness
After doing the pilot tests, Mitas organized a meeting with their neighbours, the environmental authorities and the major to present our environmentally friendly solution. The contract was signed a week later. Once installed, an independent measuring agency tested and proved the effectiveness and efficiency of the Aerox®-Injectors. The units have been working without any problems since 2006 and Mitas said they are very happy with the odour reduction achieved.
