Programme: Programme "Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises" 2021-2027

The implementation of the current project is aimed at implementing an innovative product - a filter for fine dust particles from domestic/industrial chimneys, which, unlike the identified alternative solutions, combines two unique functions at the same time:
- a higher degree of purification of exhaust gases from fine dust particles (up to 98%);
- functioning as a heat exchanger/radiator, reducing fuel costs by about 2 times (by 40-60%).
The supported innovation is protected by a utility model registration certificate No. BG 4224 U1, issued by the Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria. On 01.02.2024, a license agreement for the utility model was concluded between Yonko Mermerski and HEFEST - PLOVDIV" EOOD.
The project will be realized through the implementation of a complex of activities permissible under the procedure for:
- implementation of a product innovation falling within the scope of ISIS in the thematic area "Clean technologies, circular and low-carbon economy", sub-area "Technologies for efficient use of resources, to reduce the content of hazardous substances, to use alternative raw materials and materials, to extend the life of the products and their use in other productions and services", a priority for the Plovdiv region.
- acquisition of DMA, necessary for the implementation of the project.
With the successful implementation of the innovative product, the main need for the implementation of the project will be satisfied, namely the increase of the innovation capacity and competitiveness of the company, through which it will contribute to the achievement of the goals in the field of climate and energy transition. The investments under the current project proposal are in accordance with the requirements of the horizontal principles laid down in Art. 9 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliaments of the Council, as well as with the principle of "doing no significant harm".
