Mitigation Of Greenhouse Gases: Hydrocarbon Adsorption Through Filtration and Organic Medias
CWSF · 2026 Environment & Climate Change
Overview
This project presents the design and testing of a multi-stage system created to reduce greenhouse gases, specifically hydrocarbons, from the air. A tall steel structure supports a sealed system, gas is moved through multiple treatment stages using controlled gas flow. The gas first passes through specialized materials that capture hydrocarbons followed by natural organic materials for additional filtration. Sensors measure gas levels at the system's input and output to evaluate performance. This project matters because reducing harmful gases can improve air quality and help address climate change through practical engineered solutions.
