Triad Technologies

Triad Technologies, Inc., in Syracuse, NY, produces reinforced plastic products. Industries, such as Triad, that use resins, paints, cleaners, adhesives and thinners, are facing new, increasingly stringent, workplace health and environmental standards. These standards require investments in pollution-control technologies that can put smaller producers out of business and increase the cost of operation for larger manufacturers. There are more than 3,000 fiberglass companies in the U.S.; over 800 of them use the open molding process, as practiced by Triad. Triad identified the need to develop lower-cost technologies to treat workplace air, and proposed to perfect bio-filtration in a closed-loop manner, which is inherently energy conservative by reducing the amount of ventilated air for conditioning.
