TO175479
Conventional building central cooling plants, comprising water-cooled chillers, air handling units (AHUs), cooling towers, and pumps, often suffer fouling issues caused by accumulation of suspended solids in the micron range, such as rust and corrosion scale, as well as dissolved minerals within the chilled water closed loop system. Over time, these impurities clog strainers and nozzles, foul heat exchangers, and impair heat transfer efficiency, resulting in turbid water and reduced cooling performance.

TO175502
Antimicrobial plastic products are in increasing demand across healthcare, consumer products, and industrial sectors to reduce the spread of harmful microbes while maintaining material performance. However, conventional antimicrobial additives often rely on pre-formed nanoparticles, which are prone to aggregation and can complicate handling and processing, particularly in thin films, fibres, and transparent components.This technology enables the in-process formation and uniform dispersion of silver (Ag) nanoparticles within thermoplastic resins during standard polymer processing, such as extrusion and injection moulding. By incorporating silver fatty acid salts into the resin formulation, nanosized silver particles are generated during thermal processing and stabilised within the polymer matrix, ensuring consistent dispersion under typical shear and thermal conditions. The resulting silver nanoparticles, with sizes on the order of several tens of nanometres, deliver reliable antimicrobial performance at very low additive loadings (as low as 0.01 wt%), while preserving optical clarity and mechanical properties. Accordingly, this technology is particularly well suited for incorporating antimicrobial agents into thin films and fibres, where optical clarity and defect-free moulding are critical. When used in fibres, it helps prevent filament breakage during melt spinning. A resin-compounded antimicrobial masterbatch based on this technology has already been commercialised in products such as face masks and waste bags, demonstrating scalability and real-world applicability.The technology owner is seeking test bedding and pilot deployment partners in resin processing, polymer manufacturing, and end-product sectors to validate performance, scale production, ensure regulatory compliance, and expand application portfolios.

TO175346
In hydroponics, plants receive nutrients directly from a water-based solution. pH affects how well plants can absorb these nutrients. If the pH is too high (alkaline) or too low (acidic), certain nutrients become chemically unavailable, leading to deficiencies even if the nutrients are present. To adjust the pH, hydroponic farmers have to use pH up solution (commonly potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate) or pH down solution (commonly phosphoric or nitric acid), which adds cost, increases safety risks and utilises resources like time, manpower and storage space.This innovation combines Electrolysed Water (EW) with an Internet of Things (IoT) system to autonomously adjust pH to improve vegetable health, optimise plant growth, and reduce algae without the use of chemicals. The solution features a modular chamber setup, precise EW control, and real-time environmental monitoring.
