Biological Potentiality to Remove Organic Solvents From Exhausted Air Emissions

The performance of an industrial prototype of a biological system was investigated during more than two years, for the treatment of exhaust gas from air emission of wooden painting activities. Two different type of VOCs mixture were treated at different weather conditions. Removal efficiencies were sufficiently high to maintain the outlet emissions within the legal thresholds. Particularly low costs for management were experienced, confirming the biofiltration a sustainable technology.

A new greenhouse: an attempt to reduce the cost of growing plants

Growing plants in extremely cold environmental conditions is a difficult and expensive process. The required microclimate is usually created for plants artificially on the protected ground. For this purpose, we have developed an industrial prototype of a mini greenhouse, which allows to grow single plants. Laboratory tests have confirmed that the mini greenhouse provides optimal internal environment conditions due to the design features. This leads to a significant reduction in the cost of plants growing.
