Proven Air Purification for Thermal Power Plants

The Problem

We partnered with a 2000 MW coal-based thermal power plant seeking to enhance ambient air quality. The plant had already implemented advanced air pollution control measures and adhered to best practices for managing fugitive emissions.

The Solution

Two Pure Skies 9000 systems were installed at the plant to manage thermal pollution. This setup included two Pure Skies base stations, extenders, and two third-party air quality monitors from Airveda Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon.

The system is designed to monitor particulate pollutants (PM10 and PM2.5) emitted from thermal power plants over an area of approximately 250 acres.

250 Acres Covered
57% Reduction in PM 2.5
40% Reduction in PM10.

The Outcome

After Pure Skies was powered on, a steady improvement was observed in the air quality.

In comparison, reference-grade monitors operated by the state pollution control board approximately 3 km away (out of the Pure Skies zone of influence) and showed relatively stable values during this time.

Installation Details

It took just one day to complete the installation.

Two base stations, extenders, and two air quality monitors were installed on various building rooftops. No floor space in worker areas was required. Equipment was plugged in and connected wirelessly to the local GSM data network in the area (BSNL). Power requirements : Routine power supply (ordinary 10A sockets).

Each base station and air quality monitor is equipped with battery backup (rarely needed in a power plant).Once online, the performance of each air pollution control unit is monitored 24x7 by Swati Pure Skies.
