Company: Australian Innovative Systems Pty Ltd (AIS) Company, Brisbane, Australia
Company Description: Established in 1974, Australian Innovative Systems Pty Ltd (AIS) is a manufacturing company specialising in the disinfection of water via electrolysis. AIS now employs more than 50 staff throughout its three manufacturing facilities in SE Queensland and exports to more than 50 countries worldwide. A strong focus on R&D, design innovation and quality has seen AIS receiving a string of awards.
Nomination Category: Company/Organization Categories
Nomination Sub Category: Most Innovative Company of the Year in Asia (Subcontinent, Australia and New Zealand)

Nomination Title: Perfect water through a perfected science - Australian Innovative Systems Pty Ltd

Tell the story about what this nominated company achieved (up to 500 words). Focus on specific accomplishments, and relate these accomplishments to past performance or industry norms. Be sure to mention obstacles overcome, innovations or discoveries made, and outcomes:

Australian Innovative Systems (AIS) is a manufacturing company specialising in
the disinfection of water via electrolysis. With a history spanning 35 years,
its products are not only regarded as the best in the world but, in many cases,
are world first.

AIS currently employs more than 50 staff throughout its three manufacturing
facilities in South East Queensland and exports to more than 50 countries worldwide.

In recent years, AIS research and development activities have focused on a range
of eco-efficient products. As a result, chlorine generators AutochlorTM powered
by switch mode power supply deliver savings of approximately 60 per cent of
electrical power consumption compared to systems powered by traditional EI type
transformer and help to achieve significant water savings.

All AIS products are built on strong technology and pioneering spirit - 75 per
cent of its products was developed over the last decade, demonstrating the
extent to which innovation is now embedded in the company’s DNA.

During that period, our team has delivered four cutting edge innovations:

1.            The most advanced anode material produced with a special ceramic-type coating
2.            New generation chlorine generators powered by Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
for both residential and commercial applications. AIS is the only company to
successfully utilize SMPS technology in salt water chlorinators in commercial
applications. Further advancement of the hardware enables the use of any source
of water within salinity range from 0.2 up to 36 per cent. The equipment senses the
amount of salt in the water and automatically adjusts voltage to suit the
programmed level of chlorine output.
3.            Bi-polar reverse polarity cell assembly design
4.            EcolineTM - revolutionary high performance in-line on-site fresh water
chlorine generators that
represent the company’s greenest and most efficient products.

Using completely new technology, AIS has developed unique low resistance and low
activation anode material. In combination with a specially designed power supply
and electrolytic cell, this innovation allows the generation of a sufficient
amount of chlorine in the fresh water with total dissolved solids of 50ppm or
more. This technology set another benchmark for the industry.

Apart from the electricity, the fresh water chlorine generator does not require
any salt and/or any other chemicals to produce the chlorine. Chlorine is
activated from the small amount of natural mineral salts present in the fresh
water. This is in-line chlorination technology, where fresh water passes through
the cell and the required amount of chlorine is produced from the water itself
and diluted immediately into the passing water. Ecoline is an energy efficient
technology – only six watts of energy is required
for every gram of pure chlorine, compared to traditional 13 watts per gram of
chlorine, translating to both energy and cost savings.

This new technology is helping expand the application of AIS’s products outside
the swimming pool industry. Potential applications for this unique system
include drinking water, reverse osmosis, food processing plants, water features,
competition swimming pools, cooling towers, agricultural lagoons, irrigation
water, recycled water, grey water, sewerage and waste water.

Provide a brief (up to 100 words) biography about the leader of this nominated company:

AIS was acquired in 1992 by Kerry Gosse, who purchased the small manufacturer as
a way of pursuing his passion in the pool industry. Kerry had the ambition to
grow the small domestic manufacturer into a competitive international market
leader in the salt-water pool treatment industry by focusing on three main
areas: Switch Mode Technology, Commercial Chlorinator Market Dominance and Anode
Coating Innovation.

Kerry is the driving force behind the company's research and development. He is
a leader with a refined sense of strategy and an in-depth technical knowledge.
His entrepreneurial spirit earned him a Regional Finalist position In 2006
Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) awards.
