Air Purification Scrubber Column

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

The objective of this project is to design, build, and validate a compact wet-scrubbing system capable of achieving ≥85% particulate removal and ≥30% CO₂ reduction while operating within strict limits on footprint, pressure drop, noise, power, cost, and maintenance time. This objective directly addresses the need for a sustainable, low-cost, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional air-filtration technologies in industrial and indoor environments. Our system successfully meets all performance and design requirements, delivering efficient PM and CO₂ reduction with low pressure drop, low noise, and minimal operating cost. The validated prototype demonstrates reliable operation, easy maintenance, and strong potential for real-world air-purification applications.
