SMART DETECTION AND REMOVAL OF PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSIONS FROM INDUSTRIAL SOURCES

DIFFUSE POLLUTION LAWS ARE SCARCE, UNDEMANDING AND DIFFICULT TO APPLY, but they are very relevant for industrial facilities, both in industrial and urban areas, where they can have the greatest impact. The control technology available is expensive, ineffective and/or not smart, which inhibits large-scale implementation and regulatory development. SIDEPI will provide a new integrated smart technological solution for diffuse pollution control and abatement at a contained cost, based on the innovative integration of three technologies: two existing technologies, i.e., monitoring and abatement, and a new intelligence module.

TEKNIMAP, specialised in environmental monitoring and inspection services, is leading SIDEPI, with the participation of TALANTIA.

OBJECTIVES
  • Develop an integrated innovative technological solution to eliminate the impact of diffuse pollution (and in particular cases, confined) of particulate matter emissions generated by industrial activity, and capable of adapting to the variable nature of the phenomenon with high efficiency.
  • Carry out development and demonstration pilots in three representative real-life scenarios in the Basque Country, adapting the solution to each case and optimising automation.
RESULTS
  • Completed development of the first smart prototype.
  • Ongoing integration of the smart module with the rest of technologies.
  • Diffuse emission characterisation in one of the industrial scenarios.
  • Installation of the integrated solution in one of the industrial scenarios.
CONCLUSIONS
  • The involvement of manufacturing companies is important to perform minor adjustments to commercial technologies (monitoring and abatement).
  • The first prototype of the smart module is perfectly integrable in Industry 4.0 systems.
  • In addition to the smart module algorithm, particle measurement technology needs to be adapted to each real industrial scenario.
  • There is potential for innovation and circularity in the ancillary elements of the solution (load-bearing structure and consumption supply).
  • The needs of the industry predict a high corporate client base potential; in the Basque Country alone, many companies are reporting emissions from diffuse sources in their Integrated Environmental Authorisations (IEA).
