The company developed filter less air purification technology for small and large spaces using Ansys’ best-in-class simulation solutions. To help mitigate the worldwide problem of air pollution, Praan designed the MK One and MK Two for large spaces. The advanced air purification technologies — designed with Ansys Fluent computational fluid dynamics — capture polluted air, separate microscopic particulate matter (particle pollution) into a collection chamber and release cleaner air back into the atmosphere. Additionally, Praan offsets any carbon dioxide emitted during manufacturing through afforestation or direct air capture methods, making all their products net-zero.
US and India-based technology startup Praan, Inc. (Praan) developed its latest filter less air purification technology. The company’s advanced technology includes filter less purifiers for indoor air in large spaces with near-zero maintenance costs, and an advanced tablet-based activated carbon filter.
The Praan team faced a pressing challenge in meeting the urgent demand for clean air solutions while maintaining product quality. The traditional approach of relying on functional prototyping and testing posed significant financial and temporal obstacles, potentially costing tens of millions of dollars and extensive time. A particularly critical project underscored this challenge: designing an air purification system for a school environment affected by adverse weather conditions, rendering the school non-operational. This circumstance increased the need for a swift and effective solution to restore a healthy indoor environment conducive to learning and well-being.
Ansys and CADFEM serve as partners and support system for Praan as it continues to embark on more and more ambitious technological projects every day. With Ansys simulation, our team has significantly reduced the development time of functional prototypes from four and a half years to 45 days and saved tens of millions of dollars. With support from Ansys Elite Channel Partner CADFEM India, Ansys solutions helped Praan develop the purifiers up to 36X faster than traditional development methods, eliminating the need for multiple, expensive physical prototypes. Furthermore, CADFEM India team has been incredibly forthcoming in helping us find new talent during the talent bubble on 2022
