Exhibition at the 16th Nanotechnology Conference

ブロンコスト・ジャパン ブロンコスト・ジャパン
Bronco St. Japan will exhibit at the 16th Nano Society Conference. ■ Overview of the Nano Society The Nano Society was established in 2002, evolving from the Ultra-Fine Particles and Clusters Discussion Group (founded in 1997) with the aim of becoming a comprehensive society for nanoscience and nanotechnology in Japan. Since the inaugural conference of the Nano Society was held in Kobe in 2003, approximately 400 participants have attended each conference held across various locations in Japan. The Nano Society is composed of three divisions: "Nano Structures and Properties," "Nano Functions and Applications," and "Nano Bio and Medicine," providing members with opportunities for sharing specialized knowledge and exchanging cutting-edge information through symposiums and other initiatives. We will showcase innovative mass flow meters/mass flow controllers for gases and liquids.

CORI-FLOW Coriolis Mass Flow Meter/Controller

Coriolis digital mass flow meter (flow meter) and controller capable of measuring true mass flow rate.

The precision mass flow meters (flow meters) / controllers for liquids and gases use advanced Coriolis sensors (patented) and are high-performance instruments that directly measure mass regardless of changes in operating conditions (pressure, temperature, density, thermal conductivity, viscosity, etc.). Both integral and separate types of control valves are available. The control valves differ from those of competitors in their modular structure, allowing customers to replace them on-site without adjustment work. The standard valve is of the normally closed type with a Kv value of up to 1.5. Additionally, normally open types are also available. For more details, please download the catalog.

Application of mini CORI-FLOW (Pump System Case 2)

[Pump System Case 2] Supercritical Gas Measurement and Control

Fluids near the supercritical region; measuring substances like carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethylene (C2H4) is not easy. For example, carbon dioxide CO2 enters the critical region when the temperature exceeds 20°C and the pressure is around 30 bara. Under such conditions, the physical properties, such as density and specific heat, change rapidly as a result of temperature and pressure variations. Therefore, measuring these fluids using thermal methods becomes very difficult. The "Mini CORI-FLOW(R)" provides true mass flow measurement regardless of physical properties, thus solving these issues all at once. 【Application Examples】 ○ Measures the mass of the molecules themselves, whether the fluid is in gas, liquid, or at their boundary. ○ This measurement principle has been field-validated to provide high precision and stable measurements. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Coriolis-type liquid MFC for TiCl4

Achieve precise control and high reproducibility! MFC that can control the flow rate of TiCl4.

The "Liquid MFC for TiCl4" is a device that can precisely control the flow rate of TiCl4. TiCl4, used in processes such as metal hardening, has traditionally relied on thermal MFCs. However, these devices struggle to adapt to physical changes such as fluid density and specific heat, making it difficult to accurately measure, control flow rates, and maintain high reproducibility. To use them effectively, each user and equipment manufacturer requires specific know-how, which has been a significant challenge. By using this product, precise control and high reproducibility can be achieved. 【Features】 - Measurement principle is Coriolis type, not thermal type - Can deliver "accurate mass" without being affected by physical changes in the fluid - A separate control valve type can be selected for better maintenance considerations For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

  • SEMINAR_EVENT

[Instructor] Hiroto Hayashi, Attorney at Law, New York State, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Recently, batteries are expected to serve as a balancing power source for the realization of renewable energy as a primary power source. Due to changes in the business environment brought about by market development and government support measures, opportunities in the battery business are expanding. For grid-connected batteries, there are multiple options for long-term decarbonization power source auctions, tolling models, and merchant models, and the points of project development vary depending on the offtake method. Additionally, with the spread of the FIP system, the installation of batteries alongside renewable energy generation facilities is also progressing. In this lecture, we will explain the systems related to batteries, as well as key points for contract creation and negotiation, and financing necessary to steadily advance projects. We will also outline the challenges and prospects for project development and project finance formation according to each offtake scheme.

[Seminar] Discovering Business Opportunities in Trade-On

  • NEW
  • SEMINAR_EVENT

[Lecturer] Hideo Yamada, Ph.D. Honorary Professor, Waseda University Visiting Professor, Business Breakthrough University Graduate School [Key Lecture Content] Companies face various trade-offs (dilemmas) such as quality vs. cost, inventory levels vs. service levels, and standardization vs. differentiation. Traditionally, companies have responded to trade-offs by (1) finding a balance or (2) prioritizing one over the other. However, this does not lead to fundamental solutions. In this lecture, I will propose a third method that is neither balancing nor prioritizing. Using case studies from over 50 Japanese companies, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. If we can turn long-standing trade-offs into trade-ons (coexistence), business opportunities will arise. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a trade-off? 2. Trade-offs between customers and companies 3. Trade-offs within companies 4. Trade-offs within customers 5. How to turn trade-offs into trade-ons 6. Steps for exploration 7. Q&A / Business card exchange
