ACTION 1.1.3: SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE START-UPS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPIN-OFFS, INCUBATORS/ACCELERATORS

NEXAIR: the ZERO emissions purifier!

Nexair's project idea is based on the development and industrialization of two innovative patents for the treatment of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines, both diesel and petrol.

Our systems significantly reduce NOx and CO emissions and, uniquely compared to other solutions, eliminate particulate matter (PM) emissions. The three main targets, towards which these solutions will be addressed, are:
  1. Vehicle sector (both cars and commercial vehicles);
  2. So-called sector “off road” (with particular reference to the operating machinery sector);
  3. Energy generator sector.
The strategy currently hypothesized envisages directly approaching the second and third of these “targets”, and approaching the first (“automotive”) not directly, but in partnership with a market leader, to be identified (e.g.: granting patents for use and providing prototypes as the basis for the development of the final systems).
Nexair was created specifically with this objective, therefore its “core business” is precisely the fine-tuning, development and marketing of the 2 systems (STE and SRC) described in the introduction. Given the very short duration, this project only relates to a first phase of development: it focuses on the implementation of the first of the 2 solutions (1st patent) and only on the preliminary prototyping of the second (2nd patent), and does not include within its scope the final industrialization and “go-to-market” activities for either of the two solutions (activities which are evidently part of the company roadmap in any case). The characteristics that make the project’s objective solution unique and distinctive are:
  • Cooling and Washing of Exhaust Gases
  • Double-Stage Conical Centrifuges
  • Advanced Filtration
  • Reintroduction of Exhaust Gases into the Engine
  • Reduction of Fire Risks
  • Ecological Water Management
  • Adaptability to Different Vehicles
  • Space Optimization
