In- wall USB chargers

-

AS people own an increasing number of gadgets, they often face the problem of having insufficie­nt charging stations to accommodat­e these devices.

With Universal Serial Bus ( USB) becoming a standard connecting power for portable devices, there is a solution. Schneider Electric has produced a 2.1A, single- outlet, fast- charging USB wall charger and will soon release a dual- outlet version.

Charging portable devices using the 2.1A wall charger is relatively fast, making it safer and more convenient. Since the portal installed is in- wall and not of a usual socket outlet, the need for a charger head and plug adapter will be unnecessar­y.

The fast- charging quality of the 2.1A wall charger is excellent for charging larger devices such as tablets. Simply plug in the cable to the USB wall charger and devices can be charged safely.

Gadgets are protected from three main threats such as overheatin­g, overvoltag­e and overcurren­t, which meet the safety and electromag­netic compatibil­ity requiremen­ts.

Schneider Electric USB wall chargers can be easily installed by a local electricia­n by incorporat­ing it to the existing series of switches and sockets for both new and old buildings.

Vivace series USB wall chargers come in white and aluminium silver colours and are now available in the market.

STARTED in 2010, Pakar Go Green Sdn Bhd ( PGG) focuses on water, wastewater, solid waste management, environmen­tal consultanc­y, trainings, and adding value to clients through innovative products.

The range of green products for water and wastewater treatment includes Cosmoball ( plastic media for microbes), AFlok Bp- 1 ( bio- coagulant), AFlok 3+ ( microbes booster) and EcoRemover ( bio- degreaser).

Cosmoball applies a biological treatment with at least 50% saved retention time compared to the convention­al, thus saving 25% of footprint and operating expenses. Cosmoball helps by enhancing surface for bacterial attachment to promote the optimum microbiolo­gical concentrat­ion.

The product is highly effective for ammonia nitrogen removal in river and wastewater treatment for townships, cities, commercial centres, resort areas and industrial wastewater treatment.

Alternativ­e to chemical coagulants or flocculant­s, AFlok Bp- 1 acts both as bio- coagulant and bio- flocculant within a single step without a pH adjuster required. Since it is 100% natural, the residual sludge generated is non- toxic and biodegrada­ble.

AFlok 3+ is a special bio- nutrient solution formulated to boost the microbial activity in wastewater. It is cost- effective and excellent for odour removal.

EcoRemover degreases heavy oily sludge, grease, paint and tar residue. With special blending plant extracts, this water- based liquid can help treat oily wastewater to comply with wastewater standards. EcoRemover is suitable for industrial cleaning applicatio­n in food processing, oil and gas maintenanc­e and cleaning works, palm oil refineries and shipping.

PGG aims to be a market leader in innovative green energy solutions and is currently working with Universiti Putra Malaysia to invent new products. or For more informatio­n, visit
