Sea wave power technology to China |
|
|
SDE Ltd, a company that specialises in sea wave technology, has signed an export agreement to implement sea wave power plants. The company is in the final stages of building the second power plant in a series of three to be built in China. The deal that SDE has signed with their local partners is worth a total of US$1.2 million dollars.  The 150 Kw sea wave power plants will be installed in Southern China, in the province of Guangzhou, in the city of Dong Ping.
The company was started 16 years ago by inventor and acting CEO, Shmuel Ovadia. He developed a patented method for production of electricity from sea wave energy. A large module of its unique system is displayed in its factory in Israel which stimulates wave movement and electricity production using a hydropneumatic system. SDE Ltd has built 11 power plants from its unique technology, and has established 11 JV’s with local partners around the world, including in countries such as: Chile, Mexico, Tanzania, Kenya and now China. SDE’s method consists of using the motion of sea waves to generate hydraulic pressure, which is then transformed into electricity. The system takes advantage of the wave’s speed, height, depth, rise and fall, and the flow beneath the approaching wave, thus producing energy. Please login or register to see the full article |

Afimilk, instrumental in technologies for milk production, has won a tender to establish 13 labor-efficient milking sheds known as rotary platforms in China. The company, Afimilk, is controlled by Israel’s Kibbutz Afikim.  The China tender was issued by Mengniu Dairy, one of the country’s largest dairy companies, who distribute local consumer milk, cheeses and yogurts.
Investment in the project will be divided equally between the Chinese government and the dairy company itself. According to the company, the rotary platforms will be completed on a new farm in the next two years. Afimilk will send experts to China to help construct the rotary platforms with technicians and engineers. The dairy farm will have capacity of 50,000 cows, half of the number currently being used in Israel. Each rotary platform is designed to milk 4,000 cows each day. The cows for the dairy farm will be imported to China from New Zealand and Australia, at a total cost of US$150 million. Please login or register to see the full article |

Pearls can also be a ‘girls best friend’ |
|
|
Fine jewellery comes from the earths natural resources, found deep in the ground. Gold, silver, diamonds and other precious stones all eventually come to the surface and are made into various shapes and sizes.  One type of natural jewel comes from the sea the pearl, from a living shell mollusk as found in an oyster. The pearl grows inside, a hard object produced within the soft tissue, specifically known as the mantle.
Pearls are perfect and stylish for every occasion. Beautiful pearl jewellery brings together the natural qualities of the lustre of the pearl with the choice of design. A fairly sophisticated industry to understand and source from, there are few ‘pearl experts’ in the world. Harry Kalati who owns London Pearl (Hong Kong) Ltd is one of the few. Kalati, a 37 year veteran in the pearl industry, serves top branded customers of high end jewellers found in the major retail outlets in New York, London and Paris. “I moved to Hong Kong about three years ago to get closer to the source and suppliers of pearls,” Kalati said. He previously spent most of his working life in the UK where he established and founded London Pearl. “The major locations for fine pearls are found in sea waters off Tahiti, Japan, Indonesia, Australia, Philippines and Burma. I need to be closer to my suppliers. For fresh water pearls I source from China and Japan.” Please login or register to see the full article |
