Product name: NANO-FOTOCIDETM Water Disinfection System
Company name: EnvironmentalCare Limited

Comments from the Judging Panel
The disinfection system relies on an oxidation process which disinfects pathogens and disintegrates organic pollutants in water. The principle mechanism involves the activation of a nano-coated, titanium dioxide-based and highly efficient catalytic surface by the ultraviolet spectrum of light energy. The innovation is in the spiral core design that maximizes the contact surface with the incoming water molecules. The system is effective in destroying common water-borne micro-organisms such as E. coli, Vibrio cholerae and decomposes them into harmless final breakdown products in form of oxides. The product is user-friendly, economical and easy to maintain. It provides a low-cost technology-based solution to water disinfections for fish tanks used in the food service industry.



Product name: Cleanbot Service Robots for building cleaning & maintenance
Company name: CIDAM/MEEM, City University of Hong Kong

Comments from the Judging Panel
It is designed for replacing human workers standing on scaffoldings or gondola platforms to carry out cleaning, inspection and repair in tall building. Different robots were developed to cope with the wide diversity in building structures while they share the same common technologies, which include the state-of-the-art computer control, advanced sensor technology, vacuum gripper design, mechatronics and tele-operation technology. The human operator can stay in a safe location to operate the robot remotely or even pre-program the robot to perform the tasks automatically to reduce the risk to injuries.
