Dr. Min-Hao Yuan's research group has developed a simultaneous de-PM and de-VOC technology for cooking-oil fume (COF) purification by high-gravity rotating packed bed (HiGee RPB) towards a circular economy to fulfill the unmet need for the COF control market. The proposed technology integrates a circular-economic type deodorant and HiGee RPB. The deodorant consists of green formula for increasing the scrubbing efficiency via emulsification, neutralization, catalysis and absorption. Also, it can be used as emulsifier for reducing air pollutant emission by emulsification of heavy-oil for a boiler. Therefore, the waste scrubbing solution can be reused as the heavy-oil emulsifier towards a circular economy. Since August 2019, the developed deodorant sample has reached 2000 kg by more than 200 order shipping from catering & restaurants, coffee roasting, and laser cutting industries. The group is dedicated to creating business barrier and increasing market competition by performance validation and technology landing. The HiGee RPB generates a high-gravity field for intensification of mass transfer and micromixing between liquid and gas phases. It possesses smaller equipment size and shorter contact time while achieving performance similar to that of a conventional wet scrubber and has the better PM2.5 removal efficiency. The group has launched the proposed technology to four operation sites for COF purification tests to amplify word-of-mouth marketing. The goal is to provide a total solution for COF purification in Taiwan and East Asian countries creating the win-win-win partnership for public, government and corporates in the nearest future.

袁明豪博士的團隊針對現有油煙控制設備市場痛點，提出「循環經濟型之超重力除塵除臭油煙淨化技術」。循環型綠色除臭吸收劑可提升超重力系統及商用油煙濕式洗滌設備削減效果。配方設計主要包括乳化、中和、催化、吸收等機制，成分為環保型界面活性劑、增溶劑、酸鹼調整與其他助劑。廢液可回收作為柴油乳化添加劑，以降低柴油發電機尾氣NOx排放。自2019年8月，該團隊與在地油煙控制設備業者合作，進行油煙除臭吸收劑試量產與推廣，累積出貨量達近2000 kg，穩定使用的餐飲、咖啡烘培、雷切業者達200家以上，並持續定期回購。團隊亦透過油煙控制技術確效，設下商業服務與技術壁壘，提升市場競爭力。超重力除塵除臭油煙淨化系統增進質傳效率以減少設備的體積，達成製程強化目的。相較市售水洗機因受限現地空間，較無法設計足夠質傳單元高度，以維持有效的氣液質傳與吸收效果。結合綠色除臭吸收劑之超重力系統，能有效增進PM2.5削減率，較傳統水洗機具更優的同步除塵除臭效果。團隊目前已完成四個實廠測試驗證，累積市場口碑。該團隊未來規劃以特製化配方與油煙異味削減評估服務模式，提供油煙控制解決方案，藉此降低公害陳情、善盡企業社會責任、創造民眾、政府、企業多贏的夥伴關係。
