Bromalgae, a Biscayan environmental biotechnology company, artificial tree that can clean the atmosphere of pollution just like 1000 saplings. The first example of this structure was installed in the town of Barakaldo and is a prototype designed at the Ezkerraldea Business and Innovation Center BIC Ezkerraldea in Barakaldo. all functioning based on microalgae and cleaning properties.
This metal tree with a plant spirit, called GarbiAir, has proven effective in combating the presence of greenhouse gases such as greenhouse gases. nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide, CO2.
Inside this structure is the secret of the invention: microalgae. Special There is an aqueous suspension containing different nutrients such as microalgae. Chlorella vulgarisresponsible for capturing the polluted air. This air is circulated in a conical tank and via sunlight (or artificial light produced by LEDs), photosynthesis, which releases pure oxygen into the atmosphereas with other vegetables.
Data visible through sensors
Moreover, Thanks to the sensors that monitor the artificial tree, it is possible to control the operation of the device at any time.provides real-time knowledge of the percentages of the pollutant gases removed. The company says all of this can be consulted online through its Cloud apps.
The artificial tree that cleans the atmosphere has two sizes. The smallest has a volume of 0.3 cubic meters and has the same regeneration capacity as 249 young trees or 59 ten-year-old specimens. As for the largest model, it has a volume of 1.2 cubic meters and can handle the same pollution as 1,000 young trees or 236 ten-year-old trees. Bromoalgae points out that GarbiAir has a consumption of less than 2 kW/h.
through photosynthesis, Algae transform the harmful gases they capture from the atmosphere into nutrients that enable them to survive. and in return it releases oxygen.
The company states that the tree is designed to be installed in any public space, from parks and shopping malls to educational centers, parking lots or movie theaters.
