Why we need tunnel air purification?
The vehicles driving in the tunnel emit a large amount of particulate matter, nitrogen oxide NOx, CO, HC and other pollutants, which will cause great safety risks to drivers and passengers in the tunnel, damage the health, and also cause great pollution to the environment surrounding the tunnel.
Tunnel air purification can help us:
● Protect the health of drivers and residents
● Protect the surrounding environment of the tunnel
● Reduce or eliminate the cost of shaft
● Reduce energy consumption
● Eliminate fire smoke
Normally people use high wind tower or exhaust well with multiple jet fan ventilation to do concentration dilution treatment of pollutants. This way of moving pollutants instead of processing pollutants, will cause pollutants eventually accumulate in the tunnel hole or settle around the wind tower, and usually needs a lot of civil engineering work to repair. It causes great damage to the surrounding ecological environment of the tunnel, and affects the health of the residents surrounding the tunnel.
Benefits Of CTA Tunnel Air Purification
CTA's Air Purification System uses high voltage electrostatic dust removal and renewable activated carbon gas adsorption technology, to collect and treat pollutants. It is equipped with wastewater recycling system which is an advanced technology that treat pollutants efficiently, it has no consumables, no secondary pollution. This system protects the internal and external environment, guarantee health of the drivers. The systems can also continue absorbing the fire smoke for about 30 minutes to ensure enough time for personnel escape.
