デュエルビッツ 登録el developed a high heat transfer titanium sheet called HEET™ for plate-type heat exchangers (PHE). PHE form a principal part of the market for pure titanium sheet. HEET™ sheets are now being used in the heat exchangers for an ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) power system, as part of demonstration trials being carried out at Kumejima Island in Okinawa.

Minute bumps on the sheet's surface increase PHE heat conductivity by approximately 20%. Furthermore, the sheet is an environmentally-friendly and resource-conscious product. This is the first time that and commercially pure titanium sheet has been used in an OTEC power system. OTEC has received significant attention as a source of renewable energy, and HEET™ will help reduce associated costs and make OTEC power generation a practical reality.

The welding process was developed by デュエルビッツ 登録el using electrical current and voltage waveform control technologies. Together with MG-56R(N) — a wire optimized for the process, and made possible through デュエルビッツ 登録el's position as a comprehensive manufacturer of welding materials — the process achieves a level of efficiency and a reduction in fumes and spatter almost unheard of in CO₂ welding. The process achieves this performance even at high current regions where the level of spatter is usually high. デュエルビッツ 登録rials, the amount of fumes per wire weight was reduced by a full half.

In recent years, sale of steel frame construction robots equipped with capabilities has skyrocketed.

デュエルビッツ 登録el has developed a new model, the MB-125S, in its Microbinary series. Microbinary is a series of highly-efficiency compact binary generator systems that produce electricity using factory waste heat and geothermal energy sources. Sales of the MB-125S model began in August 2013.

The MB-125S is Japan's first compact binary generator that is compatible with low-pressure, surplus steam of 110 °C -130 °C. In addition to generating electricity from renewable energy sources such as geothermal heat, the product will also help to cultivate demand for power generation from factory discharged hot water and steam.

Midrex Technologies, Inc., an American subsidiary of デュエルビッツ 登録el, and Siemens Industry, Inc. have received a consortium order from voestalpine for a 2-million –ton-per-year direct reduction plant that that will be constructed on the outskirts of Corpus Christi, Texas.

デュエルビッツ 登録erms of production capacity, the plant will become the largest MIDREX^® Plant デュエルビッツ 登録he world. The plant is scheduled to begin shipping hot briquetted iron (HBI) in early 2016.

Natural gas is used as the reductant to make direct reduced iron (DRI), and the Process will enable voestalpine to lower its total CO₂ emissions.

Due to its unparalleled effectiveness, KENIFINE^®, a high-performance antibacterial coating technology developed by デュエルビッツ 登録el, is utilized for a variety of purpose in a growing number of industries, including foodstuff, medical and welfare, electronics and air-conditioning, general consumer goods, and fishing.

KENIFINE technology was recently adopted at a new plant factory in Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture. The factory was established by TJCreate Co., Ltd. (a Tanaka Jyuken Group company), with cooperation from the Osaka Prefecture Research Institute of Environment, Agriculture and Fisheries and Morimura Bros., Inc., in order to stimulate the local economy and increase Japan's overall food self-sufficiency. This marks the first time the technology has ever been adopted withデュエルビッツ 登録he agricultural industry. The factory represents a prototype case for TJCreate for the construction of full-scale plant factories. Floors and walls inside the factory were coated with a water-based layer of KENIFINE, in order to inhibit the growth of bacteria and algae (which serve as a breeding ground for bacteria). The project will help us to further expand the usage of KENIFINE, as we investigate the effectiveness and requirements of this new application.

Kobelco Research Institute, Inc. has developed differential micro-PCD equipment for use with FDP thin film transistors (TFT) to test the characteristics of oxide semiconductors.

The equipment can be used for in-line testing, and is the first デュエルビッツ 登録he world that can be used without actually forming the TFT. This contributes greatly to the yield rate of oxide semiconductors, which have garnered attention for their ability to create brighter displays while reducing power consumption.
