Praan, Inc. developed its latest filterless air purification technology using Ansys' simulation solutions. The company's advanced technology includes filterless purifiers for indoor air in large spaces with near-zero maintenance costs, and an advanced tablet-based activated carbon filter. Praan's technology is currently on display at CES at Ansys' booth, #4401.

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.

Beyond its strides with filterless technology in industrial markets, Praan also used Ansys simulation to develop the HIVE air purifier for smaller spaces. The HIVE uses an advanced tablet-based activated carbon filter and a recyclable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, ensuring complete reuse without the disposal of unsustainable materials. HEPA filtration was instrumental during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be a vital tool in mitigating airborne bacteria.

For the HIVE, Praan used Ansys simulation solutions to understand fan requirements and develop specifications in two weeks, rather than the estimated four months it would have taken without simulation.
