BioFiltro

Technological development has extended the human impact on air quality, since the Industrial Revolution there was an increased burning of fossil fuels for energy resulting in an increase in emission of pollutants in the
air. According to the OMS, it is estimated that eight million people die from poor air quality annually. In Brazil, there are about 50 thousand deaths a year. Because of this problem, the Biofiltro is created with the aim of reducing the main pollutants in the air and reversing the current situation presented. It is a tower with an air purification system that transforms contaminating compounds such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter into oxygen and biomass through photosynthesis. It will impact in the life of millions of people that lives in big cities around world, getting their quality of life better, once the air is better around them.

Air pollution has an impact on the environment and public health. In the environmental area, the score is air acidification and precipitation of acid rain, global distillation, the greenhouse effect, the reduction of the ozone layer and global dimming, among others. In the matter of public health, pollution negatively impacts mainly the it was stipulated that this solution, a biofilter focused for cleaning the air, had a major customer: the market of large Brazilian companies that may or may not to partner with the public sector for installing the equipment.With the second largest industrial park of the Americas Brazil has a strong contribution of his coming economy in this sector, this important factor for stability and balance the federal cash central nervous system and cardio respiratory, causing stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and respiratory infections.

Everyone that live in big cities are going to have their lives improved, once the air will be better around them, avoiding possible diseases. It was stipulated that this solution, a biofilter focused for cleaning the air, had a major customer: the market of large Brazilian companies that may or may not to partner with the public sector for installing the equipment.
With the second largest industrial park of the Americas Brazil has a strong contribution of his coming economy in this sector, this important factor for stability and balance the federal cash. Increasingly investors has proven concerned about the direction of their investments in order to align the financial return and social, environmental and corporate governance. For consumers there is also this concern, and some prefer to pay more for a product that is sustainable. Thinking about it, the benefit point of view of the customer to stimulate the purchase of the equipment, it can get LEAD certification, carbon credits, increased ISE index (Corporate Sustainability Index), and brand valuation as sustainable. Thus, there are potential customers in large volume in the market and the number is expected to increase as the company gains traction in the market.

Using the principle of technology biomimetics ( imitation of the models, systems and elements of nature in order to solve human problems complex), the biofilter Urban will be used in large urban centers,  It is a tower with an air purification system which transforms contaminating compounds as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter in oxygen and biomass through photosynthesis.

Financial Investment, a lot of bureaucracy. But Thinking of all the environmental problems mentioned earlier, the business case expectations are not met, there is as pivoting plan the allocation of biomass of algae for use as biodiesel, a clean, organic and renewable fuel. It is part of biodiesel intended for the operation of existing air filters on the market.

The company has as a source of profit the sale of the product (BioFiltro) and its maintenance service. In the analysis of costs and revenues of the business, we have the scenario presented bellow.Being that the fixed cost includes Rent, Tax, Water, Light, Telephone, Internet, salaries and charges; the cost of service includes maintenance, collection and exchange of biomass and the cost of production would be raw material, machining, manufacturing and cultivation of algae. From the estimates of cost and revenue it was possible to determine the breakeven point, that is, the amount of Biofilters needed to be sold in a year for profit, this number being 6 units.
