Our Idea…Our

Approach…

PURIFYING CHIMNEY EXHAUST SO AS TO

REDUCE AIR POLLUTION AND CONSEQUENT GLOBAL WARMING

OUR IDEA…OUR APPROACH…

• POLLUTION AND GLOBAL WARMING

EXHAUST FROM CHIMNEYS

•REDUCTION IN AIR POLLUTION & RELATED CONCERNS

REDUCTION IN THE QUANTITY OF EXHAUST

COMPONENTS OF CHIMNEY EXHAUST :

PERCENTAGE OF SPECIFIC TOXINS IN AN AVERAGE CHIMNEY EXHAUST

CO & CO2SO2NO & NO2WATER VAPOURDUST PARTICLESOTHERS

THE APPARATUS :

Filtering Chamber 1

Filtering chamber 2

Filtering chamber 3

FILTERING CHAMBER 1(FC1)

FILTERING CHAMBER 2(FC2)

Layout : FC2 comprises of chemical solutions and reagents aligned in

a proper manner. It has 3 sections so as to absorb much of the harmful gases.

DESCRIPTION :

SO2 + NaOH ---- Na2SO4 + H20

SECTION 1 :

CO2 + Ca(OH)2 ---- CaCO3 + H2O

SECTION 2 :

2NO2 + 3H2 ----2NH3 + H2O

SECTION 3:

FILTERING CHAMBER 3(FC3)

Exhaust’s temperature is reduced.

Dust and soot is filtered

Toxic gases treated.

OVERALL IMPACT :

EFFECTIVENESS AND PRECISION

Is economical, efficient and stable.

Works silently without interrupting the normal running of the chimney.

Easily installed adjacent to an existing chimney with few structural changes.
