• Project Size : 250,000 - 1,000,000 €

BACKGROUND P&G competes across many consumer-packed goods categories where malodor is a top consumer concern. We believe that incorporating volatile organic compound (VOC) adsorption technologies into products could serve our consumers’ needs for odor control. We have evaluated numerous adsorbent technologies and activated carbon fiber (ACF) is of particular interest. NEED DESCRIPTION We are seeking to consult and potentially partner with an expert in activated carbon fiber to understand the impact of precursors, processing conditions, and methods of incorporating ACF into textiles and/or nonwovens on volatile organic compound adsorption performance, durability, and large-scale manufacturability. As a first step, we are interested in the identified SME giving a seminar on the basics of ACF to educate the organization. Longer-term, we are interested in co-developing and testing various ACFs in our in vitro and in vivo methods to link the various parameters of ACFs to their odor control performance. Below are more specific descriptions of the expertise and capabilities we are seeking.

We successfully developed permanent barcode tags for LPG gas cylinders,it will work together with gas cylinder tracking software system. Which use corrosion resistant metal as matrix and integrate barcode information with ceramic glaze. The barcodes are corrosion-resistant and aging-resistant,which corresponds to the long life time and hostile working environment of gas cylinders.The chemical stability,corrosion-resistance,abrasion-resistance and temperature-resistance of glaze are very reliable.So when we integrate barcode information with glaze,we can protect barcode information from aging,corrosion,abrasion and high temperature while using barcodes in hostile working environment. The special barcode labels produced by Xiangkang have competitive prices and are being used by more than 3000 gas filling stations around the country.In the recent ten years,we have sold 30 millions.There is no doubt that the quality and life time of our barcode tags can satisfy the real usage of gas cylinders. The UID barcode; stainless metal bottom with ceramic print barcode characteristic： 1. Outstanding high temperature (800℃) resistance. 2. Excellent image resistance to damaging UV exposure 3. Protects the image from chemicals abrasion. 4. Little bit bend is available for cylinders. Let's talk more through Email: andy@czxkdz.com.

The technology is based on bioaugmentation which consists of adding specialized microorganisms to biological systems to improve performances. The bioaugmentation in AD is done via a specific microbiome enriched in a unique Cloacimonetes organism which boost the AD process robustness and efficiency. Our microbial technology acts by quickly and efficiently consuming propionate and other VFAs present in the anaerobic reactors allowing to restart methane production (Figure 1).
