He cannot guarantee that audience attendees will breathe no virus droplets or aerosols because removal rate is a function of air exchange rate and a lot of other factors of physics. In order for such a claim to be even partially valid, the wind in the place would make you hair stand up.

His system only kills virus particles and particles entrained in aerosols and droplets that make it to the filtration system.
