Yunlin Power Plant
Taiwan
Product used = Perma-Clean SolarU
Challenge:
A large scale (5MW) solar farm was looking to increase their power generation efficiency and reduce their maintenance cycles to maximize profits on their electricity sales. A number of new panels had just been installed and the client was looking for optimal protection solutions.
Solution:
Perma-Clean Solar was applied to an experimental group of 18 solar panels and compared to five identical uncoated groups adjacent to the coated panels. Performance was measured from October to February. Within 5 months, the coated panels exhibited a 13% increase in power generation compared to uncoated panels.
City of Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA
Product used = WallProtect
Challenge:
To remove black spray painted graffiti on a stone wall at Los Angeles City Hall.
Solution:
Drywired’s WallProtect coating protected the stone wall prior to the spray paint being applied. As a result, the graffiti was easily removed with water leaving no trace of the black paint.
Little Company of Mary Medical Center - Torrance, CA
Product used = Liquid NanoTint
Challenge:
Existing hospital windows were not sufficiently insulated to deal with hot weather.
Solution:
Liquid NanoTint was used to reduce solar heat gain, boost building glass performance and block up to 99.9% of UVA/UVB rays while increasing thermal comfort for patients and administrators.
ExxonMobil - OCONUS
Product used = PCO Unit
Challenge:
Interior air quality continued to deteriorate despite the implementation of high end air filtration systems.
Solution:
Drywired’s PCO Unit was introduced and air quality measurements were taken to measure the impact. Initial Total VOC count (T-VOC) was measured at 1646 μg which is far above the acceptable threshold limit of 300 μg. Twenty-four hours after the introduction of the DryWired PCO Unit, the T-VOC count was reduced to 255 ug. The concentration of T-VOC in the building was 645% greater prior to the installation of the PCO unit.

South Los Angeles Animal Shelter - Los Angeles, CA
Product used = USA Nanocoat LumaClean
Challenge:
The South Los Angeles Animal Shelter wanted to improve air quality for the animals it houses and its workers in the facility.

Product used = SafeShield Nanocoating
Challenge:
Mining logistics trucks accumulated iron-ore residue on their undercarriages. This resulted in costly cleaning procedures and trucks being taken out of service.
Solution:
Plastic & Metals nanocoating prevented the Iron-ore from adhering to logistics trucks thereby reducing cleaning cycles and local environmental concerns.
Muldoon Marine Services
USA
Product used = RustCoat
Challenge:
The 30-year old service vessel’s deck regularly required new plating at great expense to the owner due to cancerous rust in areas that receive constant abuse.
Solution:
