Data centres and telecommunications sites require reliable and cost-effective cooling solutions as they need to be cooled 24/7 and to operate optimally at 24-28°C. Typically, these sites are cooled using centralised chiller plant systems. With growing concerns on increasing energy costs by facility owners, there is a need to seek alternative means

Recycling or refurbishing of lithium-ion batteries is crucial in tackling the challenges of climate change and air pollution. While there is the demand for batteries to have more capacity and longer life cycles, lots of time and investment are also required to dismantle and recycle batteries. Precious metal, such as Lithium, needs to be saved while

A significant amount of plastic waste is difficult to recycle due to contamination, mixing with other types of plastic and the use of multi-layer packaging. Chemical recycling is a promising method that can convert difficult to recycle plastics into fuel, carbon or petrochemical feedstocks in a cost-effective manner. The technology owner has develo

Waste management has become a critical issue as cities run out of landfill sites - the traditional method of disposing waste - as they grapple with rising waste volumes due to growing urban populations and limited land availability. A Polish company offers a waste-to-energy (WTE) solution that simplifies waste management by converting biomass and w

Within the solar energy industry, there is a general motto of "install it and forget it " for solar energy. This idea is largely derived from the research and reliability studies performed on the PV panels themselves but not the PV system as a whole (including inverters and other components). Other PV system components such as i nverters contribute

There are mainly three methods of recycling plastic waste. Mechanical recycling, thermal recycling, and chemical recycling. A lot of plastic waste is, however, hard to recycle because it is mixed, contaminated, multi-layered, thus no longer mechanically recyclable. Thermal recycling is along with GHG emissions, high CAPEX and OPEX, centralised syst

It is highly desirable to keep various types of surfaces clean and easy to maintain to retain their aesthetic appearance and/or functional performance. This can be achieved through self-cleaning coatings, that work by breaking down organic materials and by creating a water-loving surface to allow rain or other water sources to easily wash them off

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly deployed in various industries to do sensing, processing the information and automizing the systems. However, most of the existing IoT devices use batteries, leading to batteries replacement issues, especially with the significant growth in the number of IoT devices. Therefore, we develop a self-pow

Water-cooled chillers often consume between 40-60% of the total energy used in commercial buildings. According to the 2017 Building and Construction Authorities' (BCA) Building Energy Benchmarking Report, retrofitting and performance improvement measurements on chillers increased plant efficiencies by 42% on average, from 1.1 kW/RT to 0.63 kW/RT. A

Metallization is an integral part of a modern electronic device. Every electronic device has metal electrodes in it. Foldable devices, OLED, sensors, solar cells, touchscreens, wearables and energy storage need new materials and technologies for making flexible metal electrodes. This new metallization technology is suitable for functional metallic

The smart telemetry is a system for remote monitoring of the status and parameters of the battery system in electric vehicles. The system front-end comprises of Global Positioning System (GPS) and 3rd Generation/4th Generation cellular communication (3G/4G) enabled devices with built-in sensors, to provide battery stack monitoring and data-logging

In the recent years, there has been a growing demand for biotechnology-based processes for material, chemical and fuel production to minimise the environmental impacts that chemical technology based alternatives may cause, and an increasing need to reduce waste generation amidst resource and environmental concerns. A research team has developed an

This technology provides a more eco-friendly solution to convert non-biodegradable plastics into fuels and chemical feedstocks. In Singapore, about 96% of the plastics waste is incinerated, which contributes to Singapore's CO 2 emissions and aggravates global climate change. The remaining 4% is recycled only after the plastics have been cleaned and

Mixed plastic input is cut into 10-12 mm and enters an extruder where it is melted at 200-250°C and oxygen is eliminated. The melt continues to be heated up by the superheater at 350-400°C, producing oil vapor. Subsequently, the turbulent flow medium enters the heated tubular reactor (550-600°C). The blades built into the reactor anneal the partial

Despite the advantages of Hydrogen fuel cells for future mobility (higher driving range compared to Lithium batteries, fast refueling downtime and zero emissions), the number of fuel cell vehicles on public road remains insignificant due to 2 major stumbling blocks: system complexity and high cost. The technology provider specialises in Hydrogen fu

The Smart UPS system features a fully-modular system which is scalable and portable based on user's need. It is a portable and modular power system consisting of a master control unit, accompanied by slave battery power units. The master control unit has a touch-screen LCD control panel, power inverter, battery charger and telemetry system. The sla

This invention is related to a novel chemical process for extracting and recycling lead from lead acid battery paste and lead ores using a batch of non-acidic and non-hazardous solvents. This method is based on the complete dissolution of all lead compounds except metallic lead at ambient conditions and without using furnace or strong acids to extr

The sensor technology is based on molecular imprinting and piezoelectric effect that enable real-time and label-free sensing of mass changes and energy dissipation on a surface originated from molecules adsorption, and molecular interactions, with high sensitivity and selectivity. This technology leverages on nanomaterial technology, enabling conve
