Protecting establishments from the threat of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) hazards including Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) and Telecommunications Electronics Material Protected from Emanating Spurious Transmissions (TEMPEST) attacks.

Competitive Advantage: Why us?

1. Team:

We have the requisite expertise, capacity, domain and proprietary knowledge and decades of experience to design, engineer and execute projects on turnkey basis, with key strategic partners which is not available as a group anywhere in the country. Such experience is available to only handful people involved in such niche & confidential projects. We also have the capability & capacity to execute these projects on a turnkey basis under one roof, and have done so previously in earlier tenures for over a decade, while being involved in such projects.

2. Proprietary work:

The knowledge being proprietary in nature, there is a possibility of filing a large number of patents in this domain. However, due to the confidential nature of work, it may not be appropriate to file all such patents. Few (not an exhaustive list) major patents (filed and yet to be filed) are as under:

3. Expertise amongst competitors for managing such projects :

Understanding of all the effects put together due to non-availability of data & lack of opportunity & experience   in working in such niche & confidential projects. Envirya Projects is also incubated with IIT-Kanpur.

Effects On Humans

Radiological: Symptoms & Effect

Symptoms of Radiation

Loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and possibly even seizures and coma. This seriously ill stage may last from a few hours up to several months. People who receive a high radiation dose also can have skin damage.

How Radiation Affects Your Body

Like with many other contaminants or toxins, our genetic material, or DNA, is the primary target. Radiation can interact with DNA directly and cause damage by breaking bonds in the DNA or indirectly by breaking water molecules surrounding the DNA. When these water molecules are broken, they produce free radicals–unstable oxygen molecules that can damage cells and organs. Once a cell is damaged, three things can happen

The cell repairs itself. The cell would then go back to normal.

The cell damage is not repaired or is incorrectly repaired, so the cell is changed. This change may eventually lead to cancer.

There is too much damage to the cell, and the cell dies. Cell death is not always a bad option. If a few radiation-damaged cells die, your body will recover, and you do not have the risk of those cells potentially turning into cancer. However, widespread cell death, such as that caused by high radiation doses, can lead to organ failure and, ultimately, death.

HEMP Coupling & Point Of Entries

  • The electromagnetic field coupling to any electronic system or cable or component is a function of the signal frequency and electrical dimension of the receptor.
  • The EMP frequency spectrum with significant amplitude lies up to 250 MHz. So any system working in this frequency range is going to be affected by the EMP.
  • The major receptor of the EMP energy are long power transmission line, HF and VHF communication, Microwave tower, underground and buried cables, long wire antenna naval systems and airborne vehicles in flight.
  • The EMP after penetrating into a system induces transient voltage and current, that causes the functional upset to a working system or permanent damage due to burn out of the semiconductor components or integrated circuits.

The susceptibility to electronic systems to EMP have been studied by earlier researchers. Susceptibility levels for various devices reported by them are shown in the table.

EMP: Protection Concept

EMP: Validation(Through Frequency Domain & Time Domain Analysis)

Air Quality Management

The air quality management technology utilizes proprietary technology to monitor and regulate levels of overall air quality and various air pollutants to ensure a healthy and safe environment. Real-time air quality management through proprietary technology to include: O2, O3, CO2, TVOC, SOX, NOX, Radon, Smoke, PM 2.5 & 10, Proximity, Flow, Temperature and Humidity.

Need For Air Quality Management

It is important to manage indoor air quality because people spend a significant amount of time indoors. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a range of health problems such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, allergies, asthma, and other illnesses. Some of the air pollutants, such as CO2, O2, and Radon, are odourless and can go unnoticed, making it even more important to regularly monitor and manage indoor air quality in both residential and commercial spaces.

PM 2.5 & 10, which are tiny particles, can enter the lungs and cause damage, while high levels of NOX, SOX and TVOC can lead to headaches, nausea, and irritation of the eyes and throat. Managing indoor air quality involves controlling these pollutants through proper ventilation, air filtration, and regular maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Maintaining appropriate levels of O2, Temperature and Humidity is also crucial for occupant comfort, proper cognitive functioning and preventing the growth of mold, bacteria, and other allergens. Overall, proper management of indoor air quality is essential for creating and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for building occupants.

Turnkey solutions for Air Quality Management
