Dr. Hannu L. Suominen’s research and development projects, technology, material and product deliveries 1977–2022

The most important research projects, requests for proposals and deliveries, have been involved with purification of wastewater and drinking water. In the case of wastewater purification in the agriculture or in the forest industries, the impurities that are separated from manure or process waters, can be converted to fertilizer, returned into the products or converted to energy.

For almost all other applications, the harmful or even toxic pollutants such as gasses, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, hormones etc. must be reduced to pure elements by Zero Emission Pyrolysis and the released energy recovered as heat and electricity. The purification of waste waters has always led into the elimination of the separated impurities. This obvious need led me to develop the Zero Emission Technology and its related products, which will be further developed.

The methods and the industrial application studies have provided an extensive databank which is based on my 48 patent applications and 153 issued Letters of Patents in my name.

My patents, the developed technologies and my companies have been so valuable, that they have been stolen and illegally captured by some personal financiers and state intelligence agencies, since 1986, the latest incidents occurring 2013-2015. These crimes have slowed down the business and caused substantial loss.

In spite of those crimes, we have proved that the current deteriorating environmental and living conditions can be reversed back to a healthy environment with clean air, water, soil and food, by using our suite of Zero Emission Technologies.

Many thanks to all our customers to whom we have delivered over 300 projects in 45 countries by our representatives and distributors. We will further develop and offer our profitable methods and products for the benefit of all.
