A Euripides2 Project: Automated Responses to Sensed Pentane for Smarter Polyurethane Industry

A project to develop a smart pentane sensor enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) responses to the detected pentane C5H12 gases in the industrial settings of polyurethane foams production. The aim: Developing artificial intelligence (AI) responses to the detected pentane C5H12 gases in the industrial settings of polyurethane foams production.

Demonstrated in production facilities in South Korea and Turkey, the technology is applicable in potentially any other similar manufacturing facility worldwide.

The challenge: The C5H12 sensor with high-sensitivity and low-detection limit as good as 20 %lel (lel: low explosive limitation) under ambient environment is the core of the innovation. Pentane (C5H12) is the most common blowing agent used in the production of polyurethane foams and other foams. It is a dangerous and poisonous gas a smart sensing technology thereof that has not yet been commercialized massively worldwide.

Pentane (C5H12) is the most common blowing agent used in the production of polyurethane foams and other foams. It is a dangerous and poisonous gas a smart sensing technology thereof that has not yet been commercialized massively worldwide, only two minor producers of a similar detector have reached less than 3% of all potential customers.

EURIPIDES² is an association gathering 18 members: LEs, SMEs and Research Institutes based in 11 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey). These members form the Board and meet twice a year. The Board is supported by the Steering Committee and the Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) for the project assessment and monitoring. The Board may decide to set up working groups for specific topics.

The Korea Institute for the Advancement of Technology is a public institute founded under Article 38 of the Industrial Technology Innovation Promotion Act. KIAT conducts various activities to promote technological policy, including medium and long-term planning and result analysis; the construction of industrial technology infrastructure; and the transfer and commercialization of industrial technology.

The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey

The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) is the leading agency for management, funding, and conduct of research in Turkey. It was established in 1963 with a mission to advance science and technology, conduct research, and support Turkish researchers. The Council is an autonomous institution and is governed by a Scientific Board whose members are selected from prominent scholars from universities, industry, and research institutions.
