Ash from power plants, such as coal ash or biomass ash, causes tremendous air pollution and mostly ends up in landfills as harmful waste. A start-up company has developed the technology and process to recycle waste ashes to reduce its harm. In the case of coal ash, harmful elements including F, Se, B, Cr, As, etc are removed using proprietary proce

The technology developed herein is related to an plasma generator which generates reactive oxygen species to eliminate bacteria, viruses, harmful gases and odourous substances. Indoor environments, such as hospital rooms or livestock pens, can greatly benefit from the improved air quality to reduce the harm of diseases and pollution. Air steriliser

Air pollution poses serious health threats. Even limited exposure to air pollutants, such as during haze periods, can trigger respiratory symptoms and aggravate existing heart or lung conditions. While there is a strong need for economical and effective technologies for air filtration, most nanofibres currently used in air filters require intensive

Typically, buildings with centralised air-conditioning have one or more air filters in each of the air handling units. While air filtration plays an important role to improve indoor air quality, it requires a significant amount of energy consumption to achieve high filtration efficiency, which is the extent to which filters remove airborne particle

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

Extensive sanitation needs arising from COVID-19 are adding high costs to both businesses and consumers. Such costs are mostly related to the supply chain, and involve processing, transportation, and storage of dangerous substances. Furthermore, the packaging of finished sanitation products consumes large amounts of shelf space at the point of sale

Antimicrobial resistance developed due to the overuse of conventional antimicrobial agents in surface coatings and consumer products is a global concern for treatment of infectious diseases in recent years. To address this concern, US FDA has banned the use of a number of conventional antimicrobial agents in consumer and healthcare products such as

Environmental pollution is one of the major challenges that the world face today. Our water resources are threatened by contamination from industrial wastewater namely volatile organic pollutants generated from the petrochemical, textile, pharmaceutical, chemical, and automotive industries. A class of compounds that is of great concern are the orga

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

Inspecting tunnel and pipeline infrastructure can be a daunting and expensive task due to remote inaccessibility that is unsafe for humans. The technology provider has a drone solution that can inspect both underground and overground spaces within a fraction of time and cost of a conventional solution. Deployment is effortless and operation is enti

Industrial wastewaters are usually treated by a combination of chemical and biological treatment methods. In some cases, COD and BOD levels are too high to be treated by these conventional methods and are sent directly for incineration which is often energy-intensive and costly. Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) is a technology that is capable o

The company has designed systems with energy saving technology to better manage storage of perishable products in a refrigerator, with the aim to preserve the quality of the food, reduce wastage from rotting. In addition, with their patented ionic technology, the solution improves the performance of food ripening process and provides quick & high-q

Freshwater algae blooms are the result of excessive nitrogen and phosphorous originating from runoff from fertilizers and household cleaning products. Excessive algal bloom may adversely affect the ecosystem as it causes the depletion of oxygen levels in water and prevents sunlight from reaching other organisms in the water. When microalgae die, th

Water quality parameters in water bodies are usually obtained using in-situ sensor probes or by laboratory measurements of water samples collected on-site. These conventional methods are laborious, costly and have limited spatial coverage. This technology relates to a contactless measurement method for water quality parameters and can be deployed o

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

In developed countries, consumers' assessment of drinking water quality goes beyond the regulatory requirements of chemical and biological contaminants that are detrimental to health. Quality is intricately linked to the taste and odor of the drinking water. As such, this has increasingly become a concern for drinking water suppliers. Geosmin (GSM)

In recent years, diaper waste has received a lot of attention due to the high volume produced and the difficulty in recycling. In fact, in the European Union, the annual market demand for disposable baby diapers exceeds 20 billion units, dramatically increasing the amount of dry weight waste (1.3 t/min). Despite their high value components, especia

We have developed a proprietary analytical platform that combines tiny molecular machines (biosensors) with a compact reading device to provide minimally trained users with laboratory quality results in minutes. Our biosensors are proteins engineered to have a customisable detector and a constant signalling module. The signalling uses bioluminescen
