Bio-circular PVC

Bio-circular Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) is made from ethylene which is produced from wastes and residues of biological origin and that does not compete with the food chain such as used cooking oil instead of fossil fuel derivatives. It has identical properties and there is less than 90% carbon emission compared to conventionally produced PVC resin. It is also recyclable and can be processed with the existing equipments. Mass balance concept is used to keep track of the volume for the bio-circular feedstock which may different for different products.

Carbon Capture Technology

A patented carbon capture technology using CDRMax™ process which allows to capture more carbon at the lowest cost, all while meeting strict environmental criteria. The CDRMax™ process captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from the industrial flue gases or off-gases emitted from power plants, boilers, kilns and chemical facilities. The process produces CO2 with purities ranging from 95% to 99%, which can then be sold, re-used, or sequestered. The CDRMax™ process utilises our CO2 capture technology, proprietary solvent, process equipment, and advanced heat integration to significantly reduce both capital and operating costs.

Industry 4.0 Wireless Energy Solutions

Industry 4.0 Wireless Energy Solutions offering end to end solution, right from LT main panel up to individual machines. While panel-level wireless sensors give an overview of energy consumption at the macro-level, the circuit-level / machine-level wireless sensors monitor energy consumption at each electrical phase (R/Y/B) of a machine. This will help in reducing inefficiencies/ wastages in any system but also machine level breakdowns through predictive maintenance. As the complete solution is wireless, the installation and software integration are executed within minutes and the whole system/ facility can be digitalized in no-time. The clip-on sensors are self-powered (no battery/ electrical source) and maintenance-free.

Oxygen Depolarised Cathode (Membrane Process for Energy Savings Chlorine Production)

Deriving chlorine normally costs an enormous amount of energy because the highly reactive element forms bonds with practically every other element and therefore needs to be isolated using laborious methods. The new method is based on the membrane process for chlorine-alkaline electrolysis, which has become the standard method for manufacturing chlorine. In this process, chlorine, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen are derived from cooking salt and water. The new feature of the ODC process: the hydrogen-producing electrodes that are normally used in the membrane process are replaced by an oxygen depolarizing cathode. Supplying the cathode – the negative pole – with oxygen prevents the formation of hydrogen, leading only to the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide. This process requires a voltage of just two volts instead of three – a third less.
