Solumar

Solumar cuts 92-99% of emissions (VOCs, CO2, SOx, NOx) for industry and maritime sectors. Our cost-saving tech reuses pollutants, uses seawater efficiently and includes 24/7 air quality monitoring. It supports Agenda 2050 and ESG reporting.

Comply with net-zero Agenda and SDG in a cost-efficient way (Retrofit all of the emitting sources and foreach one of them, directly capture record high levels(92-99%) of all emissions including ash, Black carbon,VOC, TOC, and GHG combined by spending 6-8 timesless CAPEX and OPEX.
Save money (Solumar product involves 4-5 times loweracquisition costs versus Industrial and maritimescrubbers, catalysts, lower integration, and retrofitexpenses. Designed as a closed loop and fullyautomated, the maintenance costs are close to zero, andthe technology itself is designed to reach the desiredoutcome without using fresh water, grid systems, andother consumable).
Make money (The same technology makes it possible toturn the collected precious materials such as Blackcarbon and CO2 into reusable carbon powder, which issold at $3,000/T because carbon powder is used bymore than 40 industries such as carbon fibermanufacturers, drones, cars, graphene products,construction and many more).

We solve multiple problems for Industrial, Maritime, and Oil & Gas companies in their efforts to directly cut emissions in a cost-efficient way. The main pain points that we tackle for them are:
- Solumar solution solves the problem of cutting record high levels (92-99%) of all emissions including ash, Black carbon, VOC, TOC, and GHG among which are CO2, SOx, and NOx combined.
- Solumar product is 100% retrofittable to any of the emitting sources including any type of chimney, Industrial HVAC, vessels/ships (small, medium, large, and very large), port equipment (diesel-generators, cranes, heavy machinery, boats, and others).
- Solumar product is one compact unit that is any size scalable, designed to save space and be integrated without the need for major redesign of the current infrastructure
- Our solution works efficiently with 6-8 times lower CAPEX and OPEX with the potential to save millions of operational costs including low energy consumption, maintenance cost close to zero, and much fewer consumables versus alternatives (for example it works with seawater only, and has no grid systems that need to be replaced).
Our innovation addresses problems such as coastal floods, heat waves, and sea-level rise.

TRL7. Integrated pilot system demonstrated
Our innovation is at TRL7 for maritime applications, signifying a high-fidelity demonstration in a relevant environment. Initially, we established the technological foundation by integrating principles from aviation, fluid dynamics, and boundary layer management. This foundation was then enhanced by incorporating water atomization, water restructuring, and plasma vortexes, making our solution the only known method to capture multiple pollutants at 96-99.9% efficiency with close to zero OPEX. In 2022, we conducted a small-scale demonstration for maritime applications, showcasing our technology’s efficiency. This demonstration, made possible by R&D Grants from Innovation Norway, marked a crucial step in reaching TRL7. On our waiting list for pilots for 2024 and 2025 are companies such as Easter Pacific Shipping, Caravel Group, AD Ports, and Burgas Port. In the Industrial sector, we are at TRL-9 and have 11 customers such as Kronospan, AQ Group, HuvePharma, Colgate, and Mechanics Group.

How does it work?

Case Study #2:

Piraeus, Greece:
We have partnered with Mr. Dimitris J. Spyrou (Strategic Planning & Marketing Dept.) to pilot our innovative solution at Piraeus Port. Our technology monitors air quality, pollution, radiation, and noise 24/7, enhancing safety for personnel, passengers, and nearby residents. Digital kiosks will provide real-time data and awareness. Our Air & Gas filtering solution cuts emissions from port machinery, diesel generators, boats, and cranes, solving the emissions challenge effectively. With ARSINOE Open Innovation funds, we can deliver quickly and gain media exposure.

Limassol, Cyprus:
Partnering with Mr. Kyriacos Orphanides (Commercial Planning & Control Manager), we will pilot an Early Warning System at Limassol Port. Our technology monitors climate parameters and air quality in real time. Digital kiosks will enhance security and awareness. Our Air & Gas filtering solution cuts emissions from port machinery and equipment, solving emissions challenges. ARSINOE funding will expedite delivery and media exposure.

First supported by the R&D departments of Airbus Biz Lab and Liebherr Aerospace in France, the Solumar team developed its technology by applying principles widely used in Aviation such as aero-fluid dynamics, turbulent airflows, and boundary layer management. At first, the Solumar team collaborated with Airbus and Liebherr to improve cabin air quality in private jets as part of the 10-year Strategic Innovation program launched by both corporations. Following this progress, our engineering team pivoted and further developed the same core technology for Industrial and Maritime use cases. To turn the technology into a ready-to-use product we were selected and supported by notable partners and academia – Innovation Norway funded the first POC/demo unit deployed for port equipment, while King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) provided test-bed laboratory equipment and the software simulations. Two professors from KAUST Eng. Omar Khasawneh and Eng. Bulent Erbilgin, both Maritime industry related professionals are sitting on our Board. In Europe, our partners in science are the technical teams from the Technical and Computer science universities in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Eng. Stoyan Denchev and Prof. Eng. Georgi Todorov, who are part of our advisory board, and Eng. Valentin Bratkov, a Maritime Engineer, is our mentor at Beamline Accelerator in Estonia. We have partners in Bulgaria – IHB Ship, Industrial Design, and Galera07.

The technology works efficiently designed “as it is” at a wide range of air humidity (0-100% RH) and air temperature (-40 to 400oC). In case the ambient air and/or outlet gases temperature goes out of the range, we need to consider this in advance so that additional heating or cooling facilities to be included as extra components.
