The Research & Innovation for Sustainability Centre (RISC), under Thai property developer Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC), has introduced an advanced air purification tower designed to tackle PM2.5 pollution on an urban scale.
Known as “Fahsai,” the tower utilizes high-speed blades to draw in air, employing jet venturi scrubber technology to effectively filter dust and water droplets. This system can purify up to 120,000 cubic meters of air per hour, according to Singh Intrachooto, Chief Adviser at RISC.
The installation of Fahsai in key locations, including True Digital Park in Bangkok’s Phra Khanong district and the University of Phayao, has resulted in a 50% and 40% reduction in air pollution, respectively.
To expand its reach, RISC has appointed Dee Supreme as the official distributor of Fahsai. Several organizations have already placed orders, including the National Science Museum Thailand, which is set to install the system this month.
PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller, which can infiltrate the lungs and bloodstream, posing serious health risks such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Major sources of PM2.5 pollution include vehicle emissions, industrial activities, forest fires, and agricultural burning.
Additionally, a more compact version, “Fahsai Mini,” has been deployed at MQDC headquarters within the DTGO Campus in Samut Prakan’s Bang Phli district. While smaller in size, Fahsai Mini can still purify up to 60,000 cubic meters of air per hour, covering an area of approximately 12,000 square meters—equivalent to a large football field.
With these innovations, RISC continues to drive sustainable solutions for improving air quality and mitigating urban pollution.
