About AiRazor
During the major haze that smothered Singapore in June 2013, the National University of Singapore (NUS) formed a Haze Task Force and invited its Professors to submit their ideas. Associate Professor Dr. Jeff Obbard’s ideas for controlling indoor PM2.5 particulates were selected and he was then awarded funds to further develop his ideas.
Together with two friends who later became his partners, prototype systems were developed and tested under real haze conditions in Pekanbaru, Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. The three then formed AiRazor Technologies Pte Ltd (AiRazor), a university spin-off company with the aim of providing protection against inhalation of airborne PM2.5 particles to as many people as possible, at reasonable cost.
Dr. Jeff Obbard is Technical Director of AiRazor and his partners are Mr. Andrew Yap (Managing Director), and Mr. Tan Keng Jin (Director). AiRazor has a Research and Development office on the NUS campus, and is headquartered in down town Singapore, and has affiliated offices and production centres in Taiwan and China.
关於空尘计
2013年6月,新加坡受极其严重的烟霾影响。为此,新加坡国立大学设立了一个烟霾处理专案组,并邀请校内教授提交缓解类似危机的见解。副教授Dr. Jeff Obbard的概念获选,并获得研究资金来发展此技术。
Dr. Jeff Obbard与两位伙伴合作,研制了一批装置样品并且带到印度尼西亚的苏门答腊霾害地区进行实地测验。之后,成立了国立新加坡大学的衍生企业空尘计科技私人有限公司(空尘计),而公司的宗旨是提供价格合理的产品以保护更多人免受PM2.5悬浮微粒污染的危害。
Dr. Jeff Obbard现任空尘计的技术总监,而他的合伙人Mr. Andrew Yap(叶先生)与Mr. TanKeng Jin(陈先生)则分别担任常务董事及董事长。空尘计目前在国立新加坡大学校园内拥有一间研究发展办公室,而总部则设于新加坡市中心。产品的生产中心分别在中国大陆与台湾。
