General information
- Short Summary
- A company from Bulgaria, creator of new air and gas filtering technologies, is developing a technological solution for capturing emissions from ships and ports, that cuts 90-98% of all emissions combined, with a single compact unit, retrofittable to any size of vessel & port equipment. The company is looking for cooperation for pilot testing of the technology under: Commercial agreement with technical assistance / Investment Agreement/ Research and Development Cooperation agreement
- Full Description
-
Bulgarian Company, active in the field of air and gas filtering technologies and experienced in technologies to improve the cabin air quality in private jets and ambient air quality for commercial aircraft fleet, is currently developing a new solution for reducing emissions from the maritime industry (ships and port) by 98%.
Maritime companies are forced to cut emissions in order to comply with EU requirements and need to choose between options that are either expensive, or cannot retrofit the whole fleet, or incur massive operational costs, or biofuels that compete for scarce agricultural land, or solutions that are not yet fully developed (ex: hydrogen).
The new technology will make it possible for shipowners and port operators to keep up to the EU requirements and comply with the Agenda 2050 in an efficient and sustainable way – with low acquisition and operational costs.
The solution is by 6-8 times lower in both, the capital and operational expenses compared to the existing solutions such as scrubbers, catalyst, electrification, hydrogen, biofuels and fuel additives.
The main advantage of the technology is that it is the only solution, able to collect Black Carbon, Ash, Volatile organic compounds (VOC), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and other gases simultaneously.
The design is modular and fits into one compact body, retrofittable to small, mid-size and large vessel and to any type of port’s equipment, with a life span of 30-40 years.
The technology for its Maritime applications is tested in lab, then on a diesel-run forklift, pivoted and is entering its final Pilot stage before available for demonstration.
A Pilot would take approximately 5-6 months, including all phases – agreement, customized design and specifications, production, installation, outcome measurement, and assessment.
The company is now looking for Strategic partners (ship owners, ship repairing, port operators, diesel engine manufacturers) in Maritime sector to run the First Pilot and to demonstrate the product performance, as well as to assess the business viability in detail. - Advantages and Innovations

The main advantage of the technology is that it is the only solution, able to collect Black Carbon, Ash, Volatile organic compounds (VOC), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and other gases simultaneously.
The technology is designed modular and fits into one compact body, retrofittable to small, mid-size and large vessel and to any type of port’s equipment, with a life span of 30-40 years.
The technology borrows some of its key elements from Aviation. Its working principle is based on modular design where each module is capturing specific pollutant, leaving less pollutants for the next module, making its job easier.
The innovative approach results in combining technologies like: boundary layer management, static turbines, new type of water atomisation units, static turbines and air flow well thought labyrinth based on fluid dynamics and turbulent air flows science. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The following types of cooperation are sought:
Commercial agreement with technical assistance: Looking to set up an agreement for a Pilot installation where sharing resources is essential, shared Pilot funding (50/50 split), testbed facilities - marine vessel or port equipment).
Research and Development Cooperation agreement:
Specific technological capacities and expertise are sought for the assessment of the solution and for potential further co-development of a range of products.
Investment Agreement: The company is raising equity investment to speed up the Pilot execution and run multiple Pilots simultaneously and to grow.
Partners from all countries are welcomed, including countries with traditions in maritime industry Greece, Norway, France, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Estonia and practically every other country. - Type and Size of Partner
