An innovative air filter with a bactericidal system has been developed in Kazakhstan: a commercialization project has been launched
A team of developers from Satbayev University has presented a next-generation innovative air filter equipped with bactericidal lamps, designed for air purification in residential, educational, medical, and office premises. The project has entered the commercialization stage and is being prepared for serial production in Kazakhstan.
The new filter combines two key technologies: it effectively traps suspended particles, household dust, allergens, fungal spores, animal hair, and particles sized up to 5–10 microns, while a closed bactericidal lamp destroys the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses, and microbes without direct exposure to people.
Such a combination is rarely used in budget filters, and there are practically no аналогs on the Kazakhstan market. According to the developers, the device effectively reduces the microbial load in indoor spaces and helps decrease the risk of respiratory diseases.
Almaty and a number of other major cities regularly rank among the most polluted in terms of air quality. Under conditions of high dust levels and frequent exceedance of PM2.5 fine particulate standards, indoor air quality becomes critically important.
The development is aimed at reducing household dust, bacterial and viral load, allergens, and health risks for both children and adults. At the current stage, the project is undergoing: testing and laboratory validation, improvement of the body design, and preparation for serial production. It is planned to establish production in Kazakhstan with localization of components up to 60–70%.
“Our goal is to create an affordable and effective device that will improve people’s health and indoor air quality. We strive to make innovations widespread and accessible for schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and offices. Commercialization of the project will make it possible to bring to the market a product that Kazakhstan lacks,” noted the project supervisor.
The project was created on the basis of a scientific and technological initiative aimed at introducing modern solutions to improve indoor air quality. The team includes scientists, engineers, environmental specialists, and designers. The technology complies with the sanitary norms and standards of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
