Discover solutions to purify indoor air with ... microalgae

In fact, even in indoor spaces, the air quality we breathe is often not guaranteed.

It is about the size of a clothes hanger, but the micro algae-based air filtration system introduced below can yield the equivalent of 36 medium-sized trees!

In fact, even in indoor spaces, the air quality we breathe is often not guaranteed. In particular, the most common is the situation where CO 2 content exceeds the permitted level. Normally, this phenomenon will happen in secret rooms, rarely receive natural air, besides the offices have modest area but the number of employees is quite crowded.

The secret atmosphere when the office is modest, but the number of employees is quite crowded.

According to experts, the elevated CO 2 content will lead to many adverse health effects, including several symptoms such as headache, fatigue, cognitive impairment and nausea.

In order to improve air quality, one of the most commonly used ways is to arrange more trees and living spaces. However, this measure is probably still not really effective, because with only a small number of trees, the amount of CO2 absorbed and O 2 produced will not be able to meet the needs of people. .

In the face of this situation, a more 'green' solution to improve air quality has been introduced. Specifically, instead of using trees, the creature that is 'chosen to send gold' to this difficult task is microalgae.

Symbiont - a microalgae feeding system for air purification.

The solution mentioned here is 'Symbiont' - a microalgae feeding system for air purification , which can be installed inside the space of houses or offices.

This system owns tanks for a microalgae called 'Chlorella Vulgaris' . When operating, the pumps will draw air in the living space, then lead directly into algae tanks. With the same photosynthesis of plants, Chlorella Vulgaris will absorb CO2 in this gas and produce O 2 . The air after being purified and supplemented with O 2 is released back into the environment.

It is known that, with extremely high microalgae density, a Symbiont system, though only the size of clothes racks, can give air filtration capacity equivalent to 36 medium-sized trees!
