Air purification by algae culture

Ciyé wrote: Our product is an ornamental element that helps companies and small business interested in improving their air quality in their environment by a natural air purifier that reduces air pollutants and increases the percentage of oxygen in their surroundings.

The design of our product consist in a modular hexagonal cell that allows us to define the necessary size that the equipment must have as a whole depending on the air purification capacity of the site. A single group of four cellscan clean up to 500 kilograms of criteria pollutants (nox, co2, pm10 and pm2. 5) per year... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
