Elofic Industries Ltd inaugurated a proto-type of Clean Air Tower at its premises in Faridabad. The collaboration of Clean Air Tower was inspired by growing air pollution concerns, particularly in NCR. A proposal to construct a clean air tower was put forward by Chairman, Elofice, M.B. Sahni, Shri Vishwakarma Skill University Vice Chancellor Raj Nehru, and IIT Jammu Director Prof M.S. Gaur.
The research collaboration will result in an efficient and cost-effective product, says Vice-Chairman, Elofic, K.D. Sahni. The development of such a product can also be seen as an initiative towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat by each organisation utilising skills, technology and industry expertise in filtration altogether, said VC Raj Nehru.
To enhance the efficacy of current tower, a dedicated team of researchers including Dr Shiva S., Dr Sanjay Singh, Dr Mani, Kamlesh Koul and Dr Anuj Shukla from IIT Jammu, SVSU and Elofic are working through strong research-based inputs, simulation, analysis and testing, said Prof Gaur.
It is designed to cover up to 300m radial distance and delivers approximately 10,000 cubic feet per minute of clean air. The stainless-steel tower is designed considering the aesthetic look employing multiple filtration technologies.
The tower comprises a silencer to optimise the noise during operation and a water curtain, this has already been awarded a design patent. It also displays real-time data of the weather and pollution parameters of the surroundings. It is best suited to provide clean and fresh air for large gatherings and public places, like hospitals, hotels, airports, railway stations, building complexes, institutions, banquets, market places, etc.
