PRAAN SPEEDS DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE AIR PURIFICATION TECHNOLOGY WITH ANSYS SIMULATION

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.

Company Description

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.

Business Challenges

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.
