Core Technology

“Carbon Nano-Tube (CNT) Sensor”- Unique Technology”

CNT

Features

CNT has characteristics such as nanometer diameters,

cylindrical structures

Chemical features to absorb and desorb by molecular

unit and far larger surface compared to volume

Application Technology

Utilizing electrochemical reactions of CNT, achieved measuring acid values of oil,

total combustible gas amount and monitoring oil status

Major contents of oil, “HYDROCARBONS” undergoes chemical changes by heat

and light, generating combustible gases such as CH4, C2H2, C2H6, C2H4, C3H8

Changes in conductivity of CNT is then compared with the acid value of oil which

make a precise measurement of changes in the oil


5

CNT Oil Sensor

Excellent sensing function in oil

Prompt reaction through direct contact with oil : Equipment not required for extracting gas and

degraded materials

: Low cost process due to simplified system

Secured “Unique Technology for CNT Paste” Developed “Low Cost Process Technology”

“Application Technology” to analyze various oils; Transformers

Auto vehicles

Edible oils for food


6

Smart Grid

Intelligent Electric Power Network (Smart Grid) has been

outstanding globally to enhance electric efficiency and safety

To increase energy efficiency without sacrificing the safety is

the major task in the world

To establish integrated power network for supervising,

maintaining and monitoring the network
