Pasco-Based Dais Analytic Signs $200 Million Trade Agreement With China
Sept 29, 2009 -Dais Analytic Corporation (OTC: BB DLYT), along with the Pasco Economic Development Council (PEDC) and the U.S. Trade and Development Office, released details of a $200 million international trade agreement with a Chinese state-owned company that could bring more than 1,000 new “green” jobs to Pasco County, FL. Dais signed a 5-year contract with Genertec – America (overseas subsidiary of China General Technology (Group) Holding, Limited, which is a state-owned company) to sell breakthrough heating/cooling, and water clean-up products built around the innovative Dais nanotechnology materials.
Dais products are expected to reduce energy usage, energy costs and CO2 emissions, supporting a government mandate to lower the carbon footprint in China – one of the most populated countries in the world. “In seeking answers to complex energy and environmental matters, the world community needs a fresh approach, using a mixture of current and new industry participants. Dais brings this fresh approach by using its nanotechnology,” said Yuen Kong, chief strategy officer, Genertec – America. At its Odessa, FL facility, Dais manufactures the ConsERV energy recovery ventilator, an add-on product for heating and A/C systems that has won 4 industry awards. ConsERV, depending on outdoor conditions, lowers or raises the moisture and temperature content of air being supplied to a heating and A/C system. This adjustment, made by the Dais nanotechnology, allows heating and A/C equipment to be more efficient using less energy, thus lowering emissions. Many utilities nationwide (like Progress Energy – Florida and Florida Power & Light) provide financial incentives to install high-efficiency heating and A/C products like ConsERV.
“The unique properties of these ‘smart’ nanotechnology materials provide Dais a springboard to introduce many different products capable of revolutionizing large portions of the worldwide economy – the first example of which is our ConsERV product,” said Scott Ehrenberg, chief technology officer of Dais. Under development is a radically new heating and A/C system, called NanoAir, which may revolutionize the 100-year-old refrigerant-cycle-based heating and A/C industry, lowering energy use by treating air differently with the nonmaterial, and completely eliminating the use of traditional fluorocarbon refrigerants that are known to create harmful emissions. NanoAir uses water instead of traditional refrigerants.
