Business idea

SenSiC

develops and supplies gas sensors

based on semiconductor SiC technology

for direct detection of emissions in combustion gases

where other sensors

can not meet cost and performance demands

2 x Problems

NOX =NO2 Regulated emission

HC ( bad smell ) + soot ( low efficiency )

Applications

NH3

O2

CO

NOx

ppb NOx..

Diesel engine Control (EGR)

Diesel Engine Emission Control (SCR)

Sig Honey

SenSiC detection of << 10 ppm.

Honeywell (green) shuts off @ < 10ppm

Indoor Air Environment + added NH3

SenSiC• 5 seconds quicker reaction• Detects << 10 ppm

SenSiC NH3 Detection - Example

Key customers (evaluating) about SenSiC sensors:

Diesel engines (trucks & off-road)

• NOx sensors – Emission reduction Simpler, cheaper, more reliable

• NH3 sensors - Emission reductionFulfills required sensitivity <10ppm

• O2 sensors - EGR More reliable

Biofuelled boilers/heaters (domestic & district heating plants)

• CO sensor - Combustion control Viable cost!
