Smart algae photobioreactor sebagai filtrasi CO₂ pada smoking area yang ramah lingkungan

Abstrak

Smoking behavior in Indonesia is considered normal, especially among young people, and the number of smokers continues to increase every year. This has an impact on reducing air quality, both indoors and outdoors, because cigarette smoke contains dangerous pollutants such as carbon monoxide or pollutants. Even though there are special smoking areas in public spaces, many smokers choose to smoke in public places or outside the designated areas. Often smoking areas do not have an adequate filtration system so that pollutants from cigarette smoke only collect in the area or escape through ventilation and add to environmental pollution. Smart Algae Photobioreactor is a technological innovation that utilizes the photosynthesis process of algae to help reduce carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. This system is considered suitable for application in areas with high pollution, such as smoking areas. With the Smart Algae Photobioreactor, technological innovation uses algae to become a more flexible air filter and can be applied to public spaces or limited areas. The challenge in this limited area gave rise to a design for a smart algae photobioreactor panel module in the form of a partition wall that can be integrated with the building structure, is multifunctional and flexible, because apart from being a culture medium, this panel also functions as a functional architectural element
