Algae-Powered Air Purifiers

The AlgenAir Aerium is the Equivalent of 25 Houseplants

The AlgenAir Aerium air purifier is a naturalistic take on the home appliance that will provide users with a way to keep their indoor air quality fresh and clean in an unexpected manner. The unit works by utilizing living algae inside that will work to reduce carbon dioxide, clean the air and even produce oxygen at a rate that's equivalent to what 25 houseplants could do. The system functions by pulling air in from the bottom and passing it by the algae, which will perform photosynthesis to clean the air before releasing it back into the space.

The AlgenAir Aerium air purifier can be used as an all-natural fertilizer after the algae life cycle has ended.
