Problem

• Dust Storms(Haboob)• Airborne Soil

3 Greece – Case Study

• Dust generated from Construction Activities

Solution Schema

4 Greece – Case Study

Anti-dust Photovoltaic Coating and Ventilation

Solution Schema

5 Greece – Case Study

“Using Nanotechnology for more efficient Dust Collection”, Thomas Green, United Air Specialists Inc.

Tree leaves can capture 50%+ of particulate matter pollution (down to 1 micron)

Nano-tech artificial leaves with superior dust collection capability

1 micronWater sprinkling system for dust control

Dust Collecting Sprinklers

Solution Schema

6 Greece – Case Study

Anti-Dust Carpets

Specially manufactured “carpets” which prevent sand from rising

Swot Analysis

7 Greece – Case Study

S• Innovative Technologies and

Materials• Better Working Conditions• Flexibility on installation (Modular

Design)

W• Initial CAPEX• Adaptation to Precipitation• Relatively large impact factor

on construction site

O• Reusable Materials• Integrable Technology• Power Generation

T• Risk of novel implementation • Less expensive proposals

SWOT

Economic Viability

8 Greece – Case Study

• Costs :Cost Solar Coating Ventilation Dust Collecting

SprinklersAnti-dust Carpets

CAPEX ~ 20 mil. $ ~ 10 mil. $ ~ 8 mil. $ ~ 2 mil. $OPEX - < 50.000$/month

Total: 43.500.000 $

• Construction time : One month initial installation Continuous supply of modular units

• Long-term profits from generated solar energy
