Descripción del proyecto
Un sistema de purificación del aire innovador para fábricas
Las fábricas siguen siendo una de las principales fuentes de emisión de contaminantes al medio ambiente europeo. Esto incluye la emisión de gases tóxicos como el dióxido de carbono (CO2) y el monóxido de carbono (CO), que son perjudiciales para la salud humana. La contaminación atmosférica no solo es responsable de cientos de miles de muertes prematuras en Europa, sino que además es nociva para el medio ambiente ya que provoca la muerte de animales y plantas y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Para revertir esta tendencia, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos C-Air propone un sistema de purificación del aire eficaz en tiempo real, desarrollado por la innovadora empresa de tecnología del aire Salamandra Zone, que gestiona tanto partículas polutantes como gases peligrosos en concentraciones extremadamente altas. El sistema purifica aire tóxico y lo enriquece con oxígeno, haciéndolo no tóxico ni dañino.
Objetivo
Over time, cities have grown rapidly and are now located close to factories. This has put the lives of families and individuals at risk as factories pollute and release toxic gases that may spread into the environment. The lives of workers employed at these factories is also at risk. As of 2017, air pollution has been directly linked to over 500,000 premature deaths in Europe3. Toxic gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), are some examples of pollutants that factories release. Moreover, the leakage of these gases lead to environmental problems such as loss of animal and plant life, loss of biodiversity, acidification, etc.4 Air scrubbers, or scrubbers, are the most common devices used by factory owners to combat the leakage of harmful gases. They are devices that are used to remove pollutants from smoke or gas. Currently, scrubbers are ineffective for several reasons: 1) they have a limited range of treatable gases; 2) they offer poor purification; 3) they are enpensive; and, 4) they required a large infrastructure.
Salamandra zone has created the C-Air, an efficient real-time air purification system that handles both polluted particles and hazardous gases in extremely high concentrations. The system purifies toxic air and enriches it with oxygen making it non-toxic and breathable, thus saving the lives of workers at factories and of citizens living near them in case an emergency occurs.
