Emission Control Device for Diesel Generators

 

Chakr Innovation aims to create pioneering, sustainable and scalable technologies to combat the grave threat posed by pollution

 

Chakr Innovation has invented an Emission Control Device for diesel generators. This device can be retrofitted on diesel generators and can capture ~90% of particulate matter emission. Created using a novel solution-based method, it is a one of its kind device which controls pollution without causing any adverse impact on the engine’s performance or the environment. The story doesn’t end here – once captured, the pollutant, which is essentially black carbon, is processed and converted into inks and paints. The device is called Chakr Shield – with the Hindi word for “Chakr” meaning circle, signifying the closing of the loop for Black Carbon. Thus the technology captures and reuses air pollution!

 

The company is a team of skilled engineers and innovators who believe that to improve the quality of life on earth, there is a need to improve the quality of its air. And what better place to start than India – home to 10 of the top 20 most polluted cities in the world. Chakr Shield is an innovative emission control device that captures pollution at source and converts it into something useful!

 

Chakr Innovation aims to create pioneering, sustainable and scalable technologies to combat the grave threat posed by pollution. Its mission is to develop and implement innovative solutions which can effectively control pollution – saving the natural environment and protecting people's health. The first product, a retrofit emission control device for diesel generators, aims at addressing one of the most pressing issues for humankind – availability of breathable air by capturing pollution at source.
