4 Technology Request Summary Scalable technology for using kitchen waste as a resource An Indian environmental company requires a hybrid waste management technology for treating kitchen waste from institutions such as hotels, schools and hospitals. The technology should be economically viable across the range of waste generated: Kgs per day. The resource recovery technology options should include composting and or biogas generation for different uses that has a minimal energy and chemical footprint. The company seeks a manufacturing agreement for co-contracting. Creation Date 10 February 2014 Last Update 18 June 2014 Expiration Date 18 June 2015 Reference TRIN Details Description Waste from India kitchens has higher moisture content than the norm. This makes waste management (in particular energy recovery) economically unviable. This waste is also beset with differ5ent Indian spices that also render (low cost) vermi-composting ineffective. In addition, the differential size of the waste particles makes sorting difficult. Therefore, treatment of this kitchen (organic) waste from institutions such as hotels and resorts, schools and colleges, and hospitals is an opportunity for small and medium enterprises with a requisite established technology. The technology needs to be economically viable across a wide range of waste generated: Kgs per day. The resource recovery technology options should include composting and or biogas generation for different uses that has a minimal energy and chemical footprint. The company seeks a manufacturing agreement for co-contracting the technology and employing it in the Indian market to address the opportunity of treating kitchen wastes. The technology should be simple to operate even for largely unskilled labor that works across the value chain of waste in the country. Technical Specification or Expertise Sought Composting and/ or bio-gas generation for kitchen waste ranging from 50 to 500 Kgs per day. Best technology available for treating kitchen waste mainly for institutions like hotels, resorts, schools, colleges, defense establishments, hospitals in India. The key technology variable would be maximizing value based of the output composting versus biogas. Stage of Development Page 4 of 9

7 Technology Offer Anti-aging charging technology (renew cell battery regeneration system) Summary A Korean SME has developed an anti-aging charging (ACC) technology which can restore any kind of lead-acid, NiCd and NiMH batteries. The regeneration system, designed for industrial batteries, is remarkable for its compactness and innovativeness. The system based on ACC is portable, so that it can be used on site, and it is modular, allowing it to be adapted to specific requirements. The firm wants a commercial agreement with technical assistance. Creation Date 21 May 2014 Last Update 12 June 2014 Expiration Date 12 June 2015 Reference TOKR Details Description As critical components in the daily operations of many businesses, industrial batteries have to fulfill tremendous performance requirements while being subjected to numerous strains and environmental influences. Over time, their efficiency is gradually reduced due to impurities such as sulfation at lead acid battery. The anti-aging charging technology (AAC, battery regeneration systems) is adapted to various fields of application. AAC optimizes the effective performance and lifetime of industrial batteries; they are also energy-efficient, and so yield sustainable resource and cost savings. By slowing down the recycling cycle and reducing total CO² emissions, it also helps preserve environment. The system provides a regeneration process. The first step is de-sulfating batteries using an effective and gentle high frequency process with intelligent logic: inactive areas of the cell are reactivated by charging and discharging them with small current pulses. By doing this cell defects such as micro-short circuits arising from corrosion, dirt and dendrite build-up, or restore open status (EC-D mode); can be resolved. Also, the process is adapted and terminated fully automatically. It works in 3 steps, each of which is easily programmable. The whole process for regenerating batteries requires just six to twelve hours (depending on the battery's capacity and status, the duration for the regeneration might shrink to an hour). The firm is interested in a commercial agreement with technical assistance such as assembly or engineering. Advantages and Innovations - Equalize and balance each cell from mono block battery to battery bank - Restore 0 volt, short, open, or surface charging status by EC-D mode - Charge and optimize battery faster than others - Able to acknowledge the energy status of battery at real time - Show error status promptly - Able to save electric power cost for charging and regenerating - Faster charging by linking additional unit - Can restore 1 to 8 cells depending on the cell status Page 7 of 9
