Expansion
A small device will swallow the toxic gases and generate oxygen instead. A biomass cylinder attached to this device will absorb carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, volatile organic compounds and dust particles as its feed from the photosynthesis process and in return will release abundant oxygen inside the room. It has been prepared by two Indian scientists Uma Mahesh V and Rajalakshmi with the help of Central and Tamil Nadu government.
The makers of this device, displayed at the International Environment Expo, claimed that this device is cheaper than other air purifiers in the market. Many features have also been added to it. Soon common people will be able to buy it from the market. People are liking this device very much in the expo and many people have also pre-booked it. The makers have named the device as Garden Air Purifier.
Its price has been kept at Rs 10,000. On purchasing it for the first time, four biomass cylinders will also be available with it. These cylinders will have to be changed after two-three months. The solution of biomass present in it can be poured into tree beds, which will act as fertilizer for the plants. Considering the problem of increasing air pollution in cities, this device is of great use and most importantly, this device produces zero waste. Soon it will be easily available in the market across the country. Now it can be ordered online from the website of startups.
2 thousand rupees will be spent annually
The annual cost of the biomass of this indoor air purifier will be around Rs 2,000. Oxygen will be available for two to three rupees every day. The device has an air quality monitor and Bluetooth inbuilt. The AQI (Air Quality Index) of the room can be easily checked by connecting its Bluetooth to its Android application on the mobile.
got cheaper fuel than lpg
The dry waste generated from agriculture such as stubble, straw, jute or the waste generated from factories, will no longer be a cause of trouble. Rather it will prove to be a boon. Dr. Arvind Patel, a scientist from Gujarat, has developed a technique through which the dry waste will be processed into powder by putting it in the feeder system. After this, it will be directly converted into gas by taking it to the photolysis chamber. Dr. Arvind told that the gas produced from this will be lighter than LPG or bio gas. This gas will be a composition of methane and hydrogen. Its calorification will be about 8000 equal to petrol. It can be supplied to homes through pipeline.
Pilot project started from Gandhinagar
Its pilot project has been started in Gandhinagar. In the coming time, it will reach the whole country. Dr. Arvind wants to take it to the village area. This LPG will be 20 percent cheaper than CNG and its plants will be set up near the village, so that their agricultural waste can be easily taken from the villagers and they will be given a fair price in return. He started his startup by contacting few cotton producing farmers of Gujarat.
