the unseen.

Continuous odor monitoring. A response that adapts. Plasma-based odor control, designed around your cat’s routine.

Explore the system
  1. 01 / Sense

    Monitors changing odor conditions.

  2. 02 / Respond

    Pauses deodorization when your cat enters.

  3. 03 / Treat

    Activates odor treatment when needed.

02 / UNDERSTANDING ODOR

Odor is a changing condition,
not a static problem.
Odor keeps
changing.

Odor conditions in the litter area change throughout the day. Continuous monitoring helps the system determine when deodorization is needed.

ODOR CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Illustrative odor variation—not measured data.

Two compounds. Two distinct smells.

01 / AMMONIA

NH₃

Sharp. Pungent.

A sharp, pungent smell often associated with ammonia-based cleaners.

02 / HYDROGEN SULFIDE

H₂S

That rotten-egg smell.

A distinctive sulfurous odor, commonly described as rotten eggs.

03 / THE INTELLIGENT SYSTEM

A considered response to odor.A considered
response to odor.

One connected system. Several decisions made quietly in the background.

Monitoring

The sensor continues to update odor-related readings while deodorization remains on standby. The display illustrates monitoring, not a live measurement.

Cat enters

When your cat enters, active deodorization pauses. Odor monitoring continues, so the display can still update during their visit.

Odor response

After your cat leaves, the system waits two minutes before returning to standby and monitoring. If readings still call for treatment, deodorization starts—as illustrated in this sequence.

Back to monitoring

As the odor-related signal returns to its standby range, active treatment stops and the system continues monitoring for the next change.

04 / INSIDE THE ENGINEERING

Follow the air.
Understand the mechanism.
Follow the air.
Meet the plasma.

Two air paths. Localized plasma. One connected system.

The external intake brings fresh outside air into the enclosure.

01 / Fresh air

Fresh air, brought in.

The external intake brings fresh outside air into the enclosure.

  • Fresh outside air
  • Flow toward the litter area
Enclosure air returns through the module, then flows back into the litter area.

02 / Recirculation

A continuous path through treatment.

Enclosure air returns through the module, then flows back into the litter area.

  • Air awaiting treatment
  • Air returning to the enclosure

03 / Plasma

Inside the plasma module.

Localized discharge creates positive and negative ions, carried into the enclosure by airflow.

Soft warm-white air enters both inlets and follows the curved channels toward localized ionization. Visible green particles disperse softly below the slotted outlet.
  • Air entering the treatment region
  • Illustrative ionized airflow

04 / CHEMICAL CHANGE

From ionization to chemical change.

Follow two illustrative reactions involving odor compounds.

Ammonia · NH₃

Reaction details
4 NH₃ + 3 O₂ → 2 N₂ + 6 H₂O

One illustrative oxidation route forms nitrogen and water. Other nitrogen-containing products can form under different conditions.

These balanced overall reactions explain possible pathways, not individual molecular collisions or the complete plasma reaction network. They do not establish exclusive products, complete conversion or measured SH2825 / SH2836 emissions.

The nitrogen-and-water route is an illustrative overall reaction. Studies in other treatment systems also report nitrogen-containing products beyond N₂. Actual product composition, amounts and conversion require model-specific testing.

Exact reactive species, residual gases, secondary products and emissions in SH2825 / SH2836 have not been established by model-specific measurements in the supplied evidence. Research in other systems does not establish this product’s output or catalyst configuration.

Hydrogen sulfide · H₂S

Reaction details
2 H₂S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₂ + 2 H₂O

An illustrative oxidation route forms sulfur dioxide and water. Further sulfur reactions depend on the chemical environment.

These balanced overall reactions explain possible pathways, not individual molecular collisions or the complete plasma reaction network. They do not establish exclusive products, complete conversion or measured SH2825 / SH2836 emissions.

SO₂ may undergo further oxidation: 2 SO₂ + O₂ → 2 SO₃. With water: SO₃ + H₂O → H₂SO₄. Sulfate formation requires subsequent reactions with suitable materials or bases. These steps are not automatic or necessarily complete, and do not mean that all products are harmless.

Exact reactive species, residual gases, secondary products and emissions in SH2825 / SH2836 have not been established by model-specific measurements in the supplied evidence. Research in other systems does not establish this product’s output or catalyst configuration.

Illustrative pathways; actual products depend on conditions.

05 / CONSIDERED FOR THE HOME

The system is designed to work with the routines of a shared home—not to demand more attention.

Considered airflow.

Curved air channels are designed to reduce resistance as air moves through the system.

Their visit comes first.

Deodorization pauses when your cat enters, while odor monitoring continues.

No deodorizer refills.

Built-in plasma treatment works without dedicated deodorizer pads or refill packs.
