Nicola RICCARDI: Antipollution system NIK
1.  The Invention
	Title: Antipollution system NIK The problem the inventor wanted to solve: Water reduction system for every type of particulate (dusts), temperature and smell sent out by solid or liquid combustion boilers. With this system boilers can burn alternative combustibles such as coal, wood, biomass, naphtha, etc. Description: The system enables the realization of several models, depending on the incoming polluting load, with a different number of reduction chambers. Further more the system is completed by accumulation devices, filtering treatment and recirculation of the flushing out water, reducing to the minimum the administration costs. It is structured in order not to require particular maintenance, at low working consumption. Presentation: The capacity of the particulate matters and of the dusts reduction reaches an efficiency of more than 95%, with a small specific energy consumption. Fields of application: Effective reduction of dusts (of welding, cement factories, …) , smells (of tanneries and combustions), temperatures and steams. Advantages: The new reduction system allows the use of solid combustible, tanneries’ production waste, biomass, wood, coal, naphtha, plant oil, etc. The new above mentioned reduction system enables therefore a clear energy saving respecting the emission parameters in favour of the environment (Nowadays completely compromised) Stage of development: Production item.

2.  The inventor (or inventors)
	Name: Nicola RICCARDI Self introduction: I’m a small businessman from over 45 years. In 1992 I was walking around when it suddenly started raining. After the rain I noticed that the air was more breathable and I could feel all the real perfumes of the nature. This gave me the idea to fight the pollution with water, and in 2002 I produced the first NIK. Owner of the invention? ( ) No  ( X ) Yes
