Ecospec claims significant progress in combating green house gas emissions via a strategic partnership with Korean company STX.
Ecospec Global Technology,a Singapore research and technology company specialising in advanced environmental emission abatement, energy and water technologies, says that it used the 15th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen as a platform to launch a series of corporate activities, aimed at driving the adoption of its CSNOx technology to solve the global emission problem.
In a signing ceremony held at COP15 on 11 December 2009, Ecospec inked a letter of agreement for technology and integration partnership with STX Heavy Industries which will integrate Ecospec’s CSNOx system in plant construction projects.
Chew Hwee Hong, Ecospec’s managing director and founder said, “In view of the world’s call for greater action to combat climate change, we are inordinately pleased to announce our technology and integration partnership with STX HI. The COP15 is the definitive platform for the climate change issues faced by our world today, and Ecospec is proud to deliver a clear and present solution for the global emission problem directly to the gathering of leaders from governments, corporate and non-government organisations in Copenhagen.
“With CSNOx, we present the world’s first commercially viable solution which can effectively reduce carbon emissions from onshore industries that account for the bulk of global emissions today. Following this strategic agreement with STX HI, we expect to see CSNOx designed and installed in its plant construction projects in the near future.”
The signing ceremony was held at the National Museum of Copenhagen and witnessed by approximately 30 guests including delegates, VIP guests, members of the international media and non-government organisations.
CSNOx is claimed to be the first commercially viable solution capable of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted by large tankers all in one process and in a single system. In addition, the emission abatement is said to be achieved at a net carbon reduction, without acidifying the ocean, and with no other secondary pollutants or harmful substances discharged into the sea.
CSNOx uses Ecospec’s proprietary ultra-low frequency waves electrolysis treatment technology to treat seawater or freshwater. The treated water becomes highly reactive in removing CO2, SO2, and NOx. The resultant wash or scrubbed water meets and surpasses discharge water international standard and no chemicals are said to be introduced in the CSNOx treatment process.
