One more application scenario of AP-550 was in a soap factory of a biotechnology company, where the soap scraping operation causes dust to rise in the air, resulting in a constantly high PM2.5 concentration. A measurement taken by CHD Tech at the site indicated a concentration level of 93?gg/m3. The factory then introduced AP-550 and thereby successfully reduced PM2.5 concentration by over 91% to 8?gg/m3, an experience that others can draw from.

CHD Tech now mainly relies on its sales team along with word-of-mouth marketing to promote its air quality management business and plans to incorporate online marketing in the future to strengthen its expansion, commented Su. Target markets will include hospitals, clinics, postpartum care centers, chemistry labs or pharmaceutical labs where concentrations of PM or harmful chemicals are generally higher and therefore there is a greater need for air purification.

Emre Sandan is a man obsessed. The shipyard manager of Turkey’s Sarp Yachts is rattling off the ISO standards his yard has achieved (all very impressive), but the big news is the classification he used to build La Passion, Sarp’s first superyacht: ABS, known and trusted the world over. It was a deliberate choice and a clear statement. “They are a tough class to work with,” he says, “but for us it is important that we can substantiate our claims.”

Those claims are all about quality. We’re sitting in Sandan’s airy, low-key office, adjacent to Sarp’s 10,000 square metre factory in Antalya, which is empty owing to the recent launch of that first boat, 46 metre La Passion. It won’t be empty for long, however. There are plans for a 58 metre motor yacht, a 40 metre classic, a 28 metre trawler and even a 40 metre sailing yacht. The four-year-old company has the backing of Eti Group, a massive commercial concern in Turkey, and it has big plans.
