Air pollution is increasing physics or chemical substance to normal air environment until
reach a point that make the air polluted. Every hydrocarbons that burned from crude oil will
release a residual gases like CO2. That chemical is a main factor of acid rain, greenhouse
effect and downgrade of air quality into a point that make air is not comfortable for our life.
Existing solution currently is not good for energy because we still use conventional electric
that mostly using nonrenewable energy. Therefore, we need a device that not only can
reduce COx but also using renewable energy. O-PLASMA is solution for this problem. O-
PLASMA is Device that can Reduce COx and turn it into O2 and O3 Using Solar Cell with
Plasma Ignition Based. Work principle of O-PLASMA start from searching electrical
supply power as decomposer of compound. Supply power of plasma ignition using solar
energy as renewable energy. So, we use solar panel as a charger of battery. The generated
power is saved in lithium battery. Moreover, this device has technology that automatically
using power from electricity provider if battery is running low. So, this device can still
working and the battery can be saved. For controlling it, we use PLC Controller like
Modioon M580 because microcontroller not compatible for high voltage and power. Stored
power distributed into DC to AC power inverter and transformer because better and usually
increase voltage from AC. We need diode for rectifier AC and capacitor for saving energy
that as a high voltage switch. After that, power transmitted to spark plug to produce
discharge of plasma that used to trigger plasma. Plasma has ability to decompose CO x into
O2 . Air pollutant streamed into a metal container and convert from pollutant to fresh air.
Advantages of this device is very good for environment because not only can convert
pollutant to fresh air, but also using renewable energy from sun. O-PLASMA can convert
COx to O3 (Ozone) so this device is decrease effect of global warming too. So, O-PLASMA
is device that can be alternative solution to reduce air pollution using renewable energy and
help reduce effect of global warming by producing O 3. Moreover, this device is very
appropriately placed in urban area because many pollution from vehicle emission produced
in urban area and reduction O3 in air caused by urban area too, like using freon in air
conditioner.

 O-Plasma is a device capable of reducing the levels of carbon (CO and CO 2) into O2
and O3 based plasma ignition by the power energy from the solar panel is eco friendly.
Plasma has the ability to specific decipher as simple carbon compounds. O-Plasma
expected to be able to present a solution about reduce the impact of globalization as a
result of rising level of carbon in the atmosphere.

O-Plasma adalah piranti yang mampu mereduksi kadar karbon (CO dan CO2)
menjadi O2 dan O3 berbasis pengapian plasma dengan catu daya dari panel surya yang
ramah lingkungan. Plasma sendiri mempunyai kemampuan mengurai senyawa tertentu
seperti senyawa karbon sederhana. Diharapkan O-Plasma mampu menghadirkan solusi
mengurangi dampak globalisasi akibat meningkatnya kadar karbon di atmosfer.
