Not only famous for his invention of hazardous medical waste incinerators and other useful technologies and solutions, Mr. Trinh Dinh Nang also emerged as a dynamic face in turning knowledge into commercial practice.
This man with only an intermediate degree in mechanics shared that satisfying his passion for technology is not his main goal when creating.
Products of self-study
In Song Cau ward, Bac Kan town, Mr. Trinh Dinh Nang is called a “barefoot engineer” due to his sloppy peasant style and “poor” qualifications. The person who received the Talent Promotion Award – This Vietnamese Talent Award in 2016 is famous for his passion for science and his success through self-study.
Among the creative assets of this 60-year-old inventor, first of all, there is a hazardous medical waste incinerator – patented by the National Office of Intellectual Property, Ministry of Science and Technology (Science and Technology) in 2012. Garbage incinerator capable of saving fuel up to 80% compared to imported products of the same type is one of his favorite inventions.
The product applies the new technology of continuous combustion, spraying fire (instead of spraying oil) on the burning object. In the incineration stage, the device uses closed nano technology to thoroughly decompose smoke, dust and odors. The temperature in the center of the furnace can be up to 1,800C, so the waste treatment speed is very high.
Mr. Do Tuan Khiem – Director of Bac Kan Department of Science and Technology – once praised Mr. Trinh Dinh Nang’s medical waste incinerator, which he said could minimize the generation of dioxins and furans. These exhaust gases can be used to burn other wastes, helping to save fuel.
Capital is very sensitive in recognizing new problems of life, so he is looking for creativity in the field of environment, realizing that people growing turmeric sell products at low prices while turmeric has a lot of benefits for health. With health and the trend of nano technology application in products, medicine is on the throne, Mr. Nang and his son Trinh Gia Linh – a mechanical expert – rotate through research and design of industrial lines. High-tech production of nano curcumin from turmeric.
Despite being a “left-hand” job, he was once again successful when the line he designed could produce curcumin nano products with a purity of up to 95%, while other technologies usually only produce products of curcumin ratio of 71%.
Many times meeting him at seminars on post-harvest technology, at technology exhibitions, I always saw him sitting until the last minute, listening attentively, taking notes, taking notes… and realized this man’s age-defying self-taught mental power. The “barefoot” inventor once confided: “The best way is to self-study and find answers to real life”.
Thanks to that spirit, his company’s booth is always among the most prominent and attracts visitors in technology fairs and exhibitions. There, the director always personally introduced his products enthusiastically, passionately with an agile and very “farmer” attitude.
Enterprise spirit
Although he is very passionate about technology, passionate about research, but with Trinh Dinh Nang, every product he makes is to meet the needs of the market and life, not just to satisfy his passion. Therefore, there is no way that research results should be kept in a drawer, but must be turned into a commodity.
Through Hoa Tu Long Industrial Thermal Co., Ltd that he established – which has been recognized as a S&T enterprise, his research products are applied in production and brought to the market. In order to maximize the ability to reach customers, the “barefoot” inventor Trinh Dinh Nang persistently traveled all over the locality – from Hanoi to Thai Nguyen, Cao Bang, Thanh Hoa… Almost the fair introduced. Every technology in the North has his booth.
Currently, the hazardous medical waste incinerator invented by Mr. Nang has been sold to 3 localities. When asked about the secret of success, Mr. Nang only smiled and said briefly: “Those who are passionate about finding the final solution to the problem that reality requires will certainly succeed.” This is true for him – the person has a thin body (probably only 50kg in a hurry) but is always agile, lively, speaks like a field and reads each product parameter loudly every time someone comes in. that hits the circuit.
What he is always concerned about is how the research results can be applied more widely; how to make domestically researched products win over imported ones… Finding the answer to this problem is not easy, but Mr. Nang still believes that when the product is competitive in both price and quality, it’s for sure. will have a place in the market, of which his nano curcumin extraction line is an example.
“Research results cannot be left alone. Must be quick to put in the application. That’s the only way to have income to turn around and continue researching,” said Mr. Nang. The inventor shared that he is currently very busy with the project of putting the cucurmin nano production line into the production of pharmaceuticals and essences from natural products such as ginger, turmeric and cinnamon.
