We at Cerion Technology, Inc. believe that a US transportation industry based upon diesel power, even more desirably, diesel-electric hybrid power, will substantially lessen our dependence upon foreign oil and significantly contribute to the reduction in the growth of greenhouse gases. The attractiveness of the diesel engine's many advantages over gasoline (spark ignition) engines (25% greater thermodynamic efficiency, 50% greater oil refinery yield of diesel relative to gasoline and 30% well-to-wheel efficiency of diesel electric hybrids, compared to 13% for hydrogen fuel cells) are somewhat diminished by the diesel engine's emissions of particulate matter (soot) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). CTI's diesel products, coupled with diesel oxidation catalytic converters mandated by the 2007 EPA emissions standards directly address and ameliorate these emissions issues.

The Nano-FOTOCIDE Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) Technology Air/Water Treatment Disinfection Unit provides the most efficient system for the removal of bacteria and pollutants from air and water. As Air/water passes through the unit, pollutants come into contact with the nano-coated Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) honeycomb filter/stainless steel spiral core, triggering off the PCO process whereby harmful pollutants are oxidized and converted into the harmless end products of carbon dioxide and water.

Why Choose Nano-technology for PCO?
Applying Nano-Fotocide's nano-coating technique, a catalytic surface for PCO is generated, allowing for the formation of a homogeneous high density and superior catalysis oxidative potency titanium dioxide anatase to be sequestered tightly onto a solid substratum. The resulting catalytic surface provides the platform for maximum per unit area efficiency for the elimination of pollutants as well as pathogens. Furthermore, the resulting nano-coated titanium dioxides are tightly bound to the catalytic surface, providing it with a distinctive self-cleaning and non-sticky characteristic.

Nano-FOTOCIDE PCO technology not only destroys harmful pollutants in air and water, it does so without the addition of other chemicals, thereby eliminating any potential source of secondary contamination. Surely, it is the state-of-the-art technology for environmental air treatment and water engineering for the 21st century.

The International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON) is an organization whose activities are broadly supported by industry, non-profit foundations, and governments. Based at Rice University, the ICON is a currently an affiliates program of the United States National Science Foundations Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology; however, its membership extends beyond CBEN to include other national and international centers with an interest in its mission. ICON permits a diverse array of nanotechnology stakeholders to share resources and information with the aim of ensuring a sustainable nanotechnology industry.

ICONТ’s activities surround the emerging industrial area of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the study and application of materials with one dimension under 100 nm. In this size range, materials can be created with valuable chemical and physical properties which enable a wide range of technological applications, ranging from faster computer chips to new ways of treating cancer. In the United States, the organization of diverse research activities under the "National Nanotechnology Initiative" has led to one of the biggest government investment in physical sciences research since the space program. The field of nanotechnology has captured the imagination of scientists and non-scientists alike who see the potential to create benefits that could touch the lives of people everywhere.

Groups like ICON believe that a proactive approach to sustainability and safety will only enhance the value of the nanotechnology enterprise to both industry and the worlds citizens. Our efforts are founded on the belief that partnership activities, between governments, industry, academia and non-governmental organizations are the key to a green nanotechnology industry.

Long description

With 300 products in use today, what information is available to demonstrate that nanomaterials do not pose unnecessary risks to human and environmental health? What areas are in need of EHS science? How could risks and environmental impacts of nanomaterials throughout the product life-cycle be minimized with engineering practices to improve product safety and to avoid potential future litigation? Our training course is designed to help you navigate the ever-changing world of nanotechnology.

Participants should expect to gain an awareness of the critical issues in this evolving field and a set of conceptual tools needed to make decisions and prioritize challenges in their own organizations. Nanotechnology is a broad and complex field of research and manufacturing with many discrete decision-points. For example, some decisions might be based upon an ability to predict which nanomaterials will have favorable chemical characteristics and lower toxicities, to identify important knowledge and technology gaps, and to develop effective communication with stakeholders and the general public. This course is intended to facilitate those who must make these decisions in an uncertain environment.
