Problem
Maritime and industrial operations generate multiple harmful pollutants, including black carbon and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to air pollution and climate change. Traditional pollution capture methods can be energy-intensive and costly, hindering widespread adoption. Existing solutions may also fail to address the combined capture of various pollutants or offer opportunities for byproduct reuse.
Solution
Solumar provides modular, customizable technology for capturing multiple pollutants from maritime and industrial sources, including black carbon, particulate matter, VOCs, and gases. The system utilizes low energy and seawater for efficient operation, reducing operational expenses. Designed as a closed-loop, fully automated system, Solumar minimizes maintenance costs and infrastructural modifications. The captured pollutants can be returned to the client for reuse or resale, potentially offsetting operational costs and promoting a circular economy.
Target Audience
Solumar targets industrial, maritime, oil & gas, construction, pharmaceutical, and chemical companies seeking to reduce emissions and comply with environmental regulations.
