[Company Philosophy]

With the mission of "Leaving a Beautiful Earth for Future Generations", Helix aims to provide products and services which embody "wisdom-based, action-based and logic-based", while contributing to global environmental conservation, and human development and evolution.

All the hazardous wastes and harmful compound chemicals such as industrial, medical and nuclear waste that have been scattered around the world are now becoming serious environmental issues. Therefore, the countermeasure action of immediate detoxification must be taken as soon as possible.

In particular, Japan needs to finally resolve the nuclear facility issue after the Great East Japan Earthquake in the years and decades ahead.

However, specific measures have not yet been established to address the contaminated water issue, which is a major problem. In the 21st century, “Scientific advances”, “Economic growth” and “Environmental conservation" needs to be realized at the same time, rather than the rapid economic growth which we experienced after the war.

We should consider industrial wastes as a cost. As a direct result of not having earnestly faced this cost, now it has become a critical problem for all humankind. In these circumstances, we are confident that our water plasma substance treatment device would become today’s most required item. We believe that we can provide distinct advantages in terms of quantity, quality, and price, which had been a problem of waste treatment in the past. In this way, HELIX was established as a company that can achieve business growth while solving environmental issues that have been inherited by the twenty-first century."

Research and development

Since we handle the water plasma generation device as an advanced technology, we need to carry out research and development activities constantly in order to correspond to technological innovation. In addition, we currently use diesel engines as main energy source, but we consider that we need to reduce the load on the global environment by utilizing clean energy resources, such as hydrogen.

Furthermore, we will sell our product as a device for treating asbestos and PCBs but will study ways to apply this device to the treatment of other harmful substances. Since we are in such development environment, the research and development costs are expected to be generated every term. And because of the aspects of developing advanced technologies and handling dangerous substances, we need to conduct research and development in cooperation with research institutes, such as the government and universities.

Although we also need to prove that asbestos and PCB can be detoxified by providing data, we need not only to collect data by ourselves but also to ask third parties such as research institutes to measure the data for verification.

Currently, we are conducting research and development with Professor Takayuki Watanabe (Doctor of Engineering) of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu University.
