# 2020 Samarth | Modular air purification system |
We collaborated with a research lab “Airth Research Pvt Ltd” and humanized their patented technology, which is able to capture the pollutant particles without using any filter. We then designed a modular air purification system which is versatile and flexible enough to be deployed in multiple scenarios. In this the whole structure is made up of modular panels. Each of the panels takes polluted air form the back and gives out clean air from the front. All of these panels works in tandem to create a clean air environment around the structure.
Each of the module is connected to the other modules using flexible hoses which connects the necessary plumbing to the other module and creates and giant chain-mail structure which can be wrapped around any structure. The cleaning technology uses ionization and adsorption of particulate matter on conductive surface by enhanced charge allocation. We have tested the prototype in IIT Bombay and The test results shows that 99% of particle were removed in 15 min in a 8 cubic feet box.
The whole system is one of the greenest technology to clean air as it doesn't use filters and frequent changes in filters create waste. Giving us a chance to present this to the grad-show will help us to showcase a probable solution to a grave problem. It will also act as a platform to understand the viability of the project and test the system.
