The effort to address air pollution began back in 2013 when a professor from the University of California suggested placing air pollution sensors in high-altitude weather balloons to track the movement of black carbon in the atmosphere and implement air quality control strategies.
Diesel engines on trucks, locomotives, ships, also wildfires and the combustion of solid fuels for cooking and heating produce the black carbon air pollutants. The technology currently accessible for measuring air pollution could not manage the variations in humidity and temperature that occurred during its rise through the atmosphere nor was it cost-effective for widespread use.
This is the reason the professor and his graduate students investigated what was necessary to create their air treatment device. Their mobile air pollution monitoring study was created with the help of Google Street View cars that allow measuring the level of air quality. The researchers carry out the analysis of how air pollution concentrations vary from block to block, including black carbon particles.
The new concept for a low-cost, solid sensor network has been developed. The researchers installed about 100 sensing systems across the area that would be examined under carbon air pollutant level. These sensors would send the collected data to the primary database, which would analyze it, track variations in air pollution levels, and log the sensor activities on a map.
The central concept is to assess the variations in air pollutants over time, in contrast to conventional studies that track black carbon and other pollutants fluctuations in confined areas.The possible use is to monitor air pollution at specific sites continuously, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; therefore, this air treatment apparatus can illustrate how traffic trends or the working hours of truck drivers affect air pollution levels.
Currently, the best air treatment device is a wet air scrubbing system. Wet air scrubbers clean dust particles, flue gases, and vapors from a gas stream. The wet scrubbing technology includes numerous types of air treatment tools, for example, spray-tower scrubbers, packed bed scrubbers, tray tower scrubbers or foam scrubbers, centrifugal scrubbers, cyclonic spray scrubbers, and centrifugal-bubbling devices, Venturi scrubbers.
The fields of wet scrubber application vary and contain the washing dust from the air at iron mines, the removal of coal dust from the air at loading facilities, the use for an FGD process at an aluminum plant, the flushing cyanide out in a gold mining leach process, the use of wet air scrubbers for replacement and retrofitting.
If you are looking for the best air treatment device to improve air quality, Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge type of wet scrubber – a Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber.
Redwood technology is a fast-growing vendor of wet air scrubbers. The multi-vortex scrubber can remove gas emissions, dust, vapors, and other pollutants from a gas stream. It is an innovative technology created to save water that makes it more cost-efficient and differs from other types of scrubbers.
