Technology Achievement Award

KARLO^TM Indoor Environment Analyzer

KARLO^TM Indoor Environment Analyzer is the world's first indoor air monitoring system. Equipped with Intelligent Environment Monitoring System¹ (iEMS^TM) technology, the analyzer is capable of carrying out instant data analysis, forecast problems and suggesting solutions. The analyzer features a wide range of measurement parameters, allowing for detection of low levels of normal indoor air pollutants yet maintaining highly accurate readings. More importantly, the user-friendly and comprehensive interface allows non-technical users to carry out indoor air monitoring by themselves with ease. Unlike traditional air monitoring practice that requires a few days for analysis, the KARLO^TM Indoor Environment Analyzer provides instant, cost effective and easy-to-understand indoor air quality report to users.

KARLO^TM NÅNOX^TM Air Purifier

The device contains the most up-to-date purification technologies on deodorizing, removing respirable suspended particulates, bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microbial.

Unlike traditional air purifiers, the NÅNOX^TM technology is a "filter core self-regeneration technology" enabling the nano-oxidation of formulated nanoporous materials. The air purifier also employs the Intelligent Environment Monitoring System (iEMS^TM) and Intelligent Pollutants Streaming Treatment (iPST^TM) on airflow-rate and airflow-path controls, protecting the filter core from contamination by unabsorbed respirable suspended particulates, thereby extends the filter life. This solve the problem of generating secondary pollutants, which is a common problem of other conventional air purifiers.
