Objective APA is a filter-less air pollution abatement system working with a wide array of emission produced during industrialprocesses. Through its efficient method of cleaning and purifying air, APA directly lowers emissions after industrialprocesses thereby reducing adverse health issues for employees and the overall pollutants produced contributing to climatechange.APA cleans air with a radius of 25m and is a scalable system that can be customised for its application, either working aloneor in a network. Pollutants that APA removes from the air include: particulate matter; heavy metals; hydrocarbons; pollen;spores; NOx; Sox; CO₂. The system utilises Is Tech’s patented state-of-the-art water-based, chemical-free, centrifugal forceprocess instead of disposable filters, producing a water-based waste. In comparison to other systems, APA is innovative asits filter-less technology greatly reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs. Along with this, APA is unique in that it canbe positioned in working environments rather than on the discharge points of industrial processing machines, this meansworkers benefit from a more direct impact of the air purification gaining a healthier working environment.The technology has reached a TRL of 7 and has been tested in various operational environments demonstrating proof ofconcept and significant air pollution reductions (until 99.99% on PM 10). The Phase 1 project aims at establishing a robustindustrialisation and operational plan, at identifying all stakeholders in the value chain and securing appropriate suppliers,sale channels and strategic partnerships, at contacting potential early adopters that can ensure a quick market test and atstrengthening the business model with an in-depth market analysis, sound marketing strategy and reliable financialprojections.APA project is proposed by 2 Italian SMEs, Is TECH and Witech, who have strictly cooperated on the design, prototypedevelopment and test since the beginning.
