InstaVolt is leading the way in EV charging infrastructure, helping to make the UK an easier place to own and operate an electric vehicle. They own, install and maintain rapid electric vehicle charging units all over the country, giving landowners the opportunity to earn a rental income by housing them, and giving EV drivers access to the fastest charging available. They are driven by their passion for protecting the environment. At their core is a mission to improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions. Air quality has reached critical levels in cities across the UK and cars, buses and lorries have been proven as contributing significantly to the problem. Increasing the use of electric vehicles, which emit zero emissions, is an important part of the solution. According to Government statistics, one of the biggest barriers that deters people from buying EVs is range anxiety – the fear of running out of charge. InstaVolt will ensure a rapid charging point is easily accessible to everyone in the country. They believe that charging an electric vehicle should be quick and easy. It’s why, unlike many other companies, they operate an ‘open charger’ model, so anyone can use their charging points on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The SiC Group is one of world's leading service providers in the field of mechanical wet-cutting technologies for the wafer industry, including corresponding logistic solutions. It specializes in preparing cutting fluids that are used to produce wafers for the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries. Cutting fluids are a viscous slurry consisting of solid silicon carbide and fluid glycol.Silicon carbide is used as a sawing agent in the wafer sawing process, where it is applied to the wiresaw in order to give it the necessary specific hardness to saw wafers. The Glycol acts a substrate for the silicon carbide as well as a coolant. Slurry must be replaced after multiple uses and then either properly disposed of or recycled.With the aid of two processes based on hydrocyclone technology, SiC recovers silicon carbide and glycol from the slurry used by wafer producers and conditions these components such that they can be reused in the sawing process. By doing so, SiC provides its customers long-term cost advantages. In addition to the actual recovery and conditioning services, the SiC Group also offers comprehensive logistics services for wafer manufacturers in the field of cutting fluid management. These include transport, storage and procurement of input materials and slurry. SiC currently has four locations worldwide and already has specific plans for setting up an additional production line in and two other production sites in Asia .
