EPSE treatment go back to a Pirkanmaa-based pickling company in the early 2000s. At the time, Vesa Rissanen, the inventor of the EPSE method, owned a pickling company which did hard chrome plating for airplane parts. The process involved the dissolution of numerous metals in an acid which ultimately became hazardous waste. Together with a friend, who was also an entrepreneur, Rissanen began to think about how to get rid of the heavy expenses and finally, following numerous tests, he managed to precipitate the acid in such a way that the end result consisted of clean water and a multimetal precipitate. But then the airplane factory closed, and the chrome plating business came to an end. For years, the precipitation formulae remained in a desk drawer.

Sensichips develops microsensors for health and safety. Humans coordinate multiple senses for optimal recognition, and so should electronics systems. Sensichips brings together a unique combination of expertise in materials science, analytical chemistry, and precision analog microelectronics to engage in the development of a next-generation microsensors platform. Our miniature sensors will include diverse sensor types, signal conditioning, acquisition electronics and synergistic coordination to improve recognition, in a single microchip. Sensichips' technology achieves superior chemical recognition by combining high sensitivity with high selectivity with the incorporation of new, rugged synthetic receptor materials. The technology will be packaged into elementary sensors to microchip arrays. The global chemical sensor market is estimated to be $18B by 2016 (Global Industry Analysts, Inc.) with a CGAR of 8%. In this market, the largest opportunity for Sensichips is in personal devices for non-invasive health diagnostics and remote healthcare. The technology will allow detection of a variety of toxic, flammable, hazard gases and substances, volatile compounds to explosives.

Composite Recycling Ltd has developed an innovative and commercially viable approach to recycling whole tyres, utilizing molten zinc at 450 °C to recover valuable materials such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black, and steel through a sink-float separation method. This process significantly reduces both capital and operating costs compared to traditional rotary kiln techniques, which require tyres to be shredded prior to recycling. In addition to tyres, the company’s patented and scalable technology can chemically recycle plastics into synthetic oil and effectively handle other non-recyclable materials, including glass fiber plastic composites and lithium-ion batteries. By concentrating metals present in printed circuit boards within their separation chamber, Composite Recycling enables clients to recover critical and special metals, enhancing the overall efficiency and sustainability of the recycling process.

Fricke studied electrical and high frequency engineering at the university Hanover. Then for five years he was scientific assistant at the Institut for Electroheat at the same university. He managed several microwave research projects of the AIF and BMFT. Dipl.-Ing. Marcel Mallah studied electrical and high frequency enginneering at the university Brunswick. After this he works for three years in the german oven industry. There he developed several innovative microwave oven concepts. The Fricke and Mallah GmbH is with 24 employees one of the leading german suppliers of microwave ovens for industry and research. In the field of microwave tunnels and chamber ovens machines were built with 800 kW total power. The main applications for the ovens are found in the ceramic, casting, wood, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industry. To make the microwave application very effective the development and test of the ovens are accompanied by a close dialogue with the customer. The used microwave generators and antennas are from own production and designed for microwave powers up to 20 kW. They are also supplied to several oven manufacturers in Europe and USA. A further activity is the development of power electronics and microwave measurement equipment. For research and development a microwave measurement system, an EMC chamber, several microwave ovens and temperature measurement systems are available in the laboratory. Furthermore there is a close contact with the institut for thermal processing of the university hannover. This institute has long experience in the field of thermal and electromagnetic distributions.
