[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] A company leading the way in 'fine dust reduction' and 'hydrogen economy' in line with the government's Green New Deal policy is gaining attention. This company, Seco Hightech (CEO Ju Cheol-in), is a company that cares about people and the environment, developing environmental pollution prevention devices with excellent technology and innovative ideas, contributing to the reduction of fine dust.
This company is a venture business with a corporate research institute, holding 13 technology patents and having obtained ISO 9001/1400 certification. It was also certified as an excellent technology evaluation company in 2020 and recognized as a representative startup company of Busan in 2019 and 2020, making it a leading company representing Busan.
Seco Hightech has been highly recognized for its contribution to reducing fine dust, a major issue of the current government, through its unique technology and facilities, and was selected for the "Customer Satisfaction Brand Award" for two consecutive years. Along with this, Seco Hightech achieved the great feat of being consecutively selected for research projects conducted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute this year.
Recognized for such technology, it supplied air pollution prevention facilities to Daesun Shipbuilding in 2019 and Hanjin Heavy Industries in 2020. In 2021, it plans to supply and install these facilities to Samsung Heavy Industries, Renault Samsung Motors, other automobile manufacturers, and automobile repair shops nationwide. It is also preparing to enter companies such as Korail, Samsung Display, and Doosan Heavy Industries.
CEO Ju Cheol-in said, "I am very pleased to be selected for the Customer Satisfaction Brand Award for two consecutive years," adding, "We will not be satisfied with the present and will strive harder to become a company that protects the earth and environment and cares for human health through continuous effort and research."
Meanwhile, Seco, led by Professor Son Hyun-geun (Director of Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at Kosin University), has carried out numerous national projects related to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the main pollutants causing fine dust. The research team developed technology to efficiently capture VOCs based on excellent technology and innovative ideas and commercialized dust collection equipment using this technology.
They also developed technology that decomposes captured VOCs to generate hydrogen energy (70%) and black carbon (23%), considered next-generation energy sources. Since 70% of hydrogen can be produced from a single VOC molecule, the economic feasibility is very high.
