Small plastic cylinders for high-efficiency dishwashing

Granuldisk has developed a new type of dish washers, where small pieces of plastic called Powergranules are incorporated into the dishwashers, scratching off unwanted residue from cooking pots and pans. This is combined with high pressure and water to make sure the clean process is finished. According to their website, the amount of water and energy needed to obtain the same result is reduced when using Powergranules. The products also replace many chemicals that are used in traditional dish washers.

Smart air dome space for recreation facilities

Traditional recreational facilities are costly to build and to operate. The Air Dome saves on construction time and cost. Due to the airtight feature and high efficiency insulation system, the MetaSpace Air Dome could save 2/3 of the energy cost compared with conventional sports facilities of the same size. MetaSpace Air Dome uses high performance architectural fabric as the dome’s “shell”. This is prefabricated off-site, and then assembled and inflated by an intelligent mechanical unit to form the envelope of the structure. The Air Dome combines advances in aeromechanics, new materials, ergonomics, energy saving and environmental protection to provide space for recreational facilities, logistic and warehousing centers.
