ELC can provide a wide range of filtration systems for different kinds of pollutants (e.g. grease, VOC, particles) based both on passive and active solutions. Some of these systems have been also patented. ELC has developed a new air extractor (patent pending) which is equipped with several sensors and also a Wi-Fi module. This device can work automatically according to his internal algorithms or can be completely remote controlled via Wi-Fi. All data coming from the sensors can also be stored on a cloud for further analysis. These devices can give a real added value to the project in terms of optimization of ventilation based either on local analysis or global prediction. http://elica.com/IT-en
