(19) In an embodiment, the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N are adapted to monitor the air quality in their respective surrounding locations and communicate that information to an automated control unit 500. The automated control unit 500 is communicably coupled to the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N and the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N.

PU.sub.N, by utilizing instrumentation and actuation mechanism within PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N.

(20) In an embodiment of the present invention, the automated control unit 500 is located centrally at a particular location and is configured to control a plurality of air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N which are typically installed over a wide area.

(21) In another embodiment of the present invention, the automated control unit 500 is installed with each of the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N.

(22) As shown in FIG. 1, the automated control unit 500 comprises a receiver component 510, a memory component 520, a processor component 530, and a transmitter component 540.

(23) In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the receiver component 510 is adapted to receive message from the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N, the received message being in a specific format.

(24) In an embodiment, the processor component 530 comprises a data decoder which is adapted to decode the message format into a data format and an analyzer module adapted to analyze the said data format in relation with a preset clean air quality data of a specific location. The analyzer module comprises a set of instructions for generating a command on the basis of the data analysis when received data is compared with the preset clean air quality data of a specific location. Said generated command is then transmitted by the transmitter component 540 to the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N.

(25) According to FIG. 3A, there is shown a block diagram for the construction of the plurality of air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N. Each of the air pollution monitoring unit comprises at least an air pollutant detector 110 which is adapted to detect the level of various air pollutants, a processor 120 adapted to process the data of the said air pollutant detector into a message format 121 and a communication interface 130 having a transceiver 131 adapted to transmit the said message format 121 to the automated control unit 500.

(26) It will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the air pollutant detector 110 is an electronic device such as a gas analyzer/detector which is capable of sensing and detecting various pollutants in the surrounding atmosphere. The pollutants responsible for polluting the air may comprise particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide and the like. The particulate matters may further vary in their sizes.

(27) Once the air pollutant detector detects the levels of pollutants, this data is communicated to the processor 120 which is adapted to convert this data into a predefined message format 121.

(28) Thereafter, the said data in the predefined message format 121 is forwarded to the communication interface 130 which has a transceiver 131 for transmitting the message format to the automated control unit 500. At the end of the automated control unit 500, the receiver component 510 is adapted to receive the message format 121 transmitted by the transceiver 131.

(29) In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air pollutant detector 110 is an air particulate matter detector which is capable of detection of PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matters. In this embodiment, the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N are only capable of purifying these particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10. In each of these air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N, the air purification component is a set of bag filters (baghouses) or Fabric Filters, which are capable of removing the Particulate pollutants at nearly 99 percent particulate collection efficiency.

(30) In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air pollutant detector 110 is a gaseous atmospheric pollutant detector which is capable of detection of particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), NO.sub.x (Nitrogen Oxides), SO.sub.x (Sulfur Oxides), Hg (Mercury), Organic HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants), CO (Carbon Monoxide). A nano-catalytic filter is used in the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N to filter all the above pollutants with a high degree of efficiency and at a lower temperature compared to other conventional catalytic filtration processes.

(31) Referring now to FIG. 3B, there is shown a constructional architecture for the one of the plurality of air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N. Each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N comprises at least one air cleaning component 310 and a controller 320 which is adapted to control the entire air purification unit PU.sub.1. Furthermore, there is provided an air pressure controlling unit 330 in each of the air purification units, wherein the said air pressure controlling unit 330 is adapted to control the pressure of the air flowing to the air purification component 310 for purification. The controller 320 is communicably coupled to the air cleaning component 310 and the air pressure controlling unit 330.

(32) In an embodiment, the air cleaning component 310 is adapted to filter an air pollutant from the polluted air. It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that an air pollutant may be any kind of pollutant such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide and the like. The air cleaning component 310 of the present invention is also capable of filtering particulate matters of size 2.5 microns and smaller PM2.5 and particulate matter of size 10 microns and smaller PM10.

(33) In an embodiment of the present invention, the air cleaning component 310 is selected from air filtration components such as one of a wet scrubber, an electrostatic precipitator, a particulate filter, a catalytic filter, a cyclonic separator or a baghouse collector.

(34) The air cleaning component 310 is capable of filtering out the air pollutants from the polluted air and thereby cleaning the air.

(35) In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the air cleaning component 310 is a baghouse collector. Baghouse collectors are air filtration devices which use fabric filter tubes, envelopes, or cartridges to capture or separate dust and other particulate matter (PM). These baghouse collectors include bags suspended inside a housing or casing. Once the polluted air is fed inside the housing, the suspended bags capture the particulate matter and allow formation of a layer of particulate matter on its surface. Once the particulate matter is layered on the outer surface of the suspended bags, the remaining air which is pure is sent out through the outlet vents.

(36) The controller 320 is adapted to receive command from the transmitter component 540 of the automated control unit 500.

(37) In an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 320 is adapted to activate the air purification unit PU.sub.1 when it receives command from the transmitter component 540 of the automated control unit 500. The said command is generated when the air pollutant detector 110 belonging to each of the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N detect the level of air pollutants in their surrounding locations and then that data is further formatted and transmitted to the automated control unit 500. At the end of the automated control unit 500, the processor component 530 is adapted to check or compare the said data with the preset clean air quality data of that particular location.

(38) In an embodiment, if the said comparison or analysis of data with the preset clean air data indicates poor quality of air, this is an indication that the air in the surrounding location with respect to one of the plurality of air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N is contaminated and requires immediate purification. The criteria for such analysis of data shall be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

(39) In scenarios such as above, the automated control unit 500 immediately notifies the respective air purification unit from among the plurality of air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N to start the air purification procedure (defined in FIG. 2A, 2B) in that particular location.

(40) Generally, the surrounding location in scope for purification is considered within a radius of 1 km from the physical installation of the one of the plurality of air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N. This however, should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention, the radius of the surrounding location may vary and the air purification units may further be configured to cover a larger and bigger area for purification of air.

(41) Referring now to FIGS. 2A and 2B, there is shown a flowchart with respect to the functioning of the air purification system 100. There is shown a method 200 which begins at step 202. At this step 202, the system 100 is adapted to monitor the air quality in a surrounding location. The consistent monitoring of the air quality in surrounding location is performed by the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N in their respective surrounding locations.

(42) These air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N are physically installed at various locations at specific distance from each other so that each of these units can monitor air quality in their surrounding locations and thereby covering a larger area for air purification. The number of these units in some embodiments maybe larger than the number of Air Purification Units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N in order to fulfil operational requirements or increase efficiency.

(43) While monitoring the air quality, the air pollutant detector 110 of the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N detects the level of various air pollutants in the surrounding air, thereby generating an air pollutant data.

(44) At step 204, the air pollutant data is further converted to a specific message format by a processor component 120 of each of the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N. Once the air pollutant data is converted to a specific message format 121, it is ready for transmission to the automated control unit 500. The said message format 121 is transmitted via the communication interface 130 to the automated control unit 500.

(45) On receipt of the message format 121 at the automated control unit 500, the message format 121 is decoded into a data format by a data decoder integrated within the processor component 530 of the automated control unit. In the said processor component 530, there is provided an analyzer module which is configured to analyze the said data format and compare it with the preset clean air data at step 206 of the method 200.

(46) It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the preset clean air data is predetermined when the air contained far too less quantity of air pollutants and which was considered to be healthy and safe for breathing of the living beings.

(47) The preset clean air data can comprise information such as permitted level of pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Oxides, Nitrogen Oxides, particulate matters etc. which implies that the air was supposedly considered to be clean and fit for human breathing.

(48) Moving further to step 208, the analyzer module of the processor component 530 is adapted to compare/analyze the air quality data with the preset clean air quality data. The analyzer is adapted to check if the air quality data is worse than 2 times the preset clean air quality data. If the comparison confirms that the air quality data is worse than 2 times the preset clean air quality data, then the method moves to step 210. The analyzer module of the processor component 530 of the automated control unit 500 is adapted to generate command to start the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N in that specific locality.

(49) The transmitter component 540 of processor component 500 is configured to transmit the said command to the controller 320 belonging to each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N respectively. On receipt of the said command, the controller 320 of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N activates and runs the air purification units to give full throughput. By providing full throughput, it is meant that the air purification units are activated to their full capacity and multiple air purification units are activated so that the polluted air in a larger area can be cleaned and purified at a high speed so that less “operating time” is consumed in cleaning the air. Due to such less “operating time” of devices, the energy consumed is much lesser.

(50) Each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N comprises an air cleaning component 310.

(51) In an embodiment, the air cleaning component 310 is selected from air filtration components such as a wet scrubber, an electrostatic precipitator, a particulate filter, a catalytic filter, a cyclonic separator and a baghouse collector. The air cleaning component may also be some other air filtration component. The disclosed air filtration components should not be construed as limitation to the present invention.

(52) The air cleaning component 310 is adapted to clean the polluted air and release the clean air into the atmosphere.

(53) In an embodiment, the air purification system 100 comprises suction vents (as shown in FIG. 5A). The suction vents are capable of sucking in the polluted air from its surrounding area. The design of the suction vent has been shown in FIG. 5A. These suction vents begin sucking the polluted air from its surrounding once the air purification unit is activated to purify the polluted air in its surrounding location. The physical construction of the suction vents and its various views will be explained later in the description.

(54) In the embodiment, the air purification system 100 comprises air vents (as shown in FIG. 6A). These air vents are connected to the air purification units for releasing clean air into the surrounding atmosphere. The construction of the air vents and its various views will be explained later in the description.

(55) Referring again to FIG. 2A, in the method 200, at step 208, if the air quality data is not 2 times of the preset clean air data or worse, the method 200 moves to step 212 where the analyzer module is adapted to further check if the air quality data is 1 times of the preset clean air data.

(56) At step 212, if the analyzer module analyzes that the air quality data is 1 times of the preset clean air data or worse, then the method moves to step 216. At step 216, the analyzer module is adapted to generate a command for partial throughput such that this command is transmitted over to the controller 320 of each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N. Once the controller 320 receives the command, it activates each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N for a specified and limited time period T1 which is based upon the air pollution trend data during the past in that location.

(57) It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that air pollution trend data relates to the historical data of air pollution at a specific location gathered for a longer period of time, for example, pollution trend for a year. The present system is adapted to analyze the period T1, for which the air purification unit is required to be activated so that the air gets purified for the specific location in minimal time period. By placing a limit on the time of operation, energy efficiency is realized for the operation of these air purifiers.

(58) At step 218, the analyzer module is adapted to again check the current air quality data and compare it with the preset clean air data. If the current air quality data is better than 1 times the preset clean air data, then the method moves to step 220 and the analyzer module is adapted to generate a command to stop the corresponding air purification units.

(59) If the analyzer module analyzes that the current air quality data is not better than 1 times of the preset clean air data, then the method 200 moves to step 222 where the analyzer module generates a command to run the air purification units in a particular location at full throughput at a limited time T2 on the basis of pollution trend data of that location. Thereafter the method 200 returns to the step 202 where the air quality of a particular location is monitored and the air pollutant data is generated via an air pollution monitoring unit. The method again follows the remaining steps in the flow chart as explained in the diagrams FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. This “loop” is followed until the air quality is within the acceptable target or the “preset clean air data”.

(60) Referring again to the step 214, if the analyzer module analyzes that the air quality data is not worse than 1 times the preset clean air data, and then the analyzer module generates a command for stopping the air purification process. This command is then transmitted over to the controller 320 of each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N. Once the controller 320 receives the command, it stops each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N.

(61) Referring now to FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C, there are shown various views of the suction vents 413 installed at each of the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N. These suction vents 413 are adapted to suck in the polluted air from the surrounding atmosphere when the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N are activated. FIG. 5A provides a 3D perspective view of the suction vent 413 which has two suction inlets, one at the top and the other at the middle. The suction vent 413 is designed so that it sucks in an efficient quantity of polluted air.

(62) In an embodiment, the suction vents 413 has an air flow control valve (not shown in the figure) which is capable of controlling the flow of air towards the air purification device so that the amount of polluted air being fed to the air purification device is in the appropriate quantity. This enhances the percentage of purification of the polluted air in an energy efficient manner.

(63) The suction vents 413 are connected to the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N provided with a Protective Casing A (cross-sectional view as shown in FIG. 5B) that protects the suction vents from sucking in waste materials like debris, scrap and other wastes from its surroundings.

(64) FIG. 5C provides the top view of the Protective Casing A having a circular structure and solid from top. The top structure of the casing A is made of solid and strong material so that it remains intact in worse natural situations like heavy rain, low pressure, etc.

(65) In an embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, there is shown a perspective view of the air vent 412 which are installed at different locations. The air vent 412 acts as an output or discharge vent for releasing out the fresh and purified air into the atmosphere. The air vent 412 comprises smaller air vents 412a at equal distances so that the clean air is distributed evenly into the atmosphere.

(66) In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, the cross sectional view of the air vent 412 is seen. There is shown perforation 412b which leads way to the smaller air vents 412a.

(67) In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6C, shows the 3D top view of the air vent 412 which is hemispherical and has solid structure. The top of the air vent is designed so that in any kind of climate change such as heavy rainfall, winter, summers, the air vent does not wear out or break. The flow of clean air from the air vents is towards the downward direction. The tilting of the smaller vents 412a is also towards the ground and the top of the air vent 412 is sealed so that any kind of waste material, debris or any sort of garbage does not enter into these smaller air vents 412a.

(68) Referring now to FIG. 4 of the accompanying drawings, there is shown a real time implementation of the said air purification system. In the said FIG. 4, there is shown a road 430 meant for transportation by public. It will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that on the road 430 there will be a lot of transportation by cars, trucks and other vehicles which are considered as rich source for emitting pollutants into the atmosphere. Furthermore, there will also be pedestrians who would be walking on the footpaths and are subjected to inhaling the pollutants from their ambient atmosphere.

(69) As shown in the FIG. 4, the constructed structures 410 and 420 are meant for the installation of the air pollution monitoring units MU.sub.1, MU.sub.2, MU.sub.3, MU.sub.4 . . . MU.sub.N and air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4, . . . PU.sub.N. Alternatively, the Air Purification Units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N may either be installed in basements of buildings constructed near roads or installed in underground housings to prevent ambient noise from reaching the public. Such an installation will be relatively more secure thus preventing unauthorized operation or safety issues.

(70) There are shown identical suction vents 413, 423, 424 which are adapted to take in the polluted air from the surrounding atmosphere. These suction vents are connected to the air purification units PU.sub.1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4 . . . PU.sub.N. The protective enclosures surrounding these vents are not depicted in the FIG. 4 for purposes of clarity in the complex diagram.

(71) There are shown identical air vents 412, 422, 425 which are adapted to release the fresh and clean air into the atmosphere. Note that the protective enclosures surrounding these vents are not shown in the FIG. 4 for purposes of clarity.

(72) The structures 411, 421 represent the air purification units for taking in the polluted air which is inhaled through the suction units 413, 423, 424. Thereafter, the air purification units remove the pollutants and release the clean air via the air vents 412 and 422. Furthermore, these air purification units are controlled via the automated control unit 500 (not shown in FIG. 4).

(73) In an embodiment, the physical configuration and installation of the suction vents and the air vents are split type configuration. Each suction vent and each respective air vent are installed at specific distance from each other. Such split type configurations of the vents ensure that the suction vents do not suck in the clean air released by the air vents. In addition, the split design ensures that the air purification units PU1, PU.sub.2, PU.sub.3, PU.sub.4, . . . , PU.sub.N are distantly located and/or separated from suction vents and discharge air vents. The design ensures benefits such as decreased ambient noise during operation of the air purification units, safer operation and protection of assets.

(74) The present invention finds wide industrial applicability and has been invented to benefit the mankind. The air purification system is suitable for installation in highly polluted cities so that people residing in such polluted cities are relieved from inhaling the polluted air.
