Exairdec – Development of novel exhaust air decontamination process and equipment for food processing industry’s applications, based on dielectric barrier discharges

Exairdec project intends to develop an innovative contaminated air purification solution for food preparing industry’s applications. It will effectively decontaminate the waste air emitted during the different food preparing processes that contains a variety of organic gaseous and aerosol contaminants, volatile organic compounds and particulate matter among others.

This will result in the elimination of a number of problems currently present in the everyday practice of food preparing industry (odour nuisance, emission of carcinogenic contaminants, high operational costs due to lost energy, and fire hazards due to clogging of fats).

Project Exairdec is currently in negotiation-phase and will start in Q2 2010. Project duration will be 30 months; there will be 10 participants from 7 EU countries in the consortium (4 Estonian enterprises). Total budget of the project is 1.8 million €.

Project duration: 2010-2012
