The filter requires neither electricity nor water, which makes it particularly attractive for regions with limited resources and high levels of air pollution. The development is already being patented in Kyrgyzpatent, which confirms its originality and prospects.
To confirm the effectiveness of the new device, the engineer has established co-operation with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision, as well as with the staff of the Department of Environmental Monitoring. Laboratory studies conducted jointly with representatives of the Department showed that the filter retains up to 97% of harmful substances, including soot and carbon dioxide (CO₂). These results demonstrate the high potential of the development to make a real environmental improvement.
The device has already been successfully installed in six different locations, including the Central Mosque in Belovodskoye village, several sites in Bishkek - Grasshopper Hill, Bishkek-SUT and ECO-yard at Bystrotok, as well as in the city of Naryn and at a private site on Mederov Street (Zhukeyeva-Pudovkina). A filter designed for 5-6 years of operation without maintenance costs 25,000 KGS. Salymbayev emphasises that the main purpose of his work is to care for the environment and the health of future generations, not commercial gain.
The project has received significant support, including from the Accelerate Prosperity Foundation, which is fuelling its further development. If the technology becomes widespread, it could significantly reduce harmful emissions in Kyrgyzstan and become an example of environmentally friendly innovation available to everyone. Such a step is important for sustainable development and creating a safe, clean future for all citizens of the country.
