Are you struggling with biofouling on your RO membranes? Biofouling happens when enough microorganisms deposit on the membrane surface and form a biofilm, making it difficult to penetrate through the exopolysaccharide layer to disrupt growth. Enter, RoCide™ MD100! Based on stabilized halogen, this liquid slime control agent prevents biofilm by inactivating microorganism’s respiratory functions. Here's a closer look at how MD100 works: https://lnkd.in/gkCXTkjh #AvistaTech #waterpurification #ReverseOsmosis #RO #membrane #membranetreatment #purpose #water #waterfiltration #waterpurification #future #circulareconomy #solutions #innovation #planet #waterreuse #reuse #watertreatment #water

The PHCAP with novel antifouling layer (patent pending) prevents biofouling in underwater applications and allows for longer deployments e.g. in coastal waters. It is attached via the PyroScience SUB-connector directly to a compatible read-out device (APHOX, PICO-SUB). The PHCAP allows measurements between pH 7.0 and 9.0 on pH total scale. It does not require a reference electrode, thus making it to a suitable sensor solution for long-term measurements especially in seawater.

The #RFCS Annual Call 2024 is officially closed! To everyone who has been working long hours, sometimes late into the night, over the past days or weeks (I know you have!), I wish you the best of luck wih your proposals. A huge THANK YOU to all the partners (Główny Instytut Górnictwa - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, Poltegor-Instytut, National Technical University of Athens, KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology, INERIS, VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, TUBAF | Fakultät für Maschinenbau, Verfahrens- und Energietechnik, skupina Sev.en, BeePartner a.s., Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola, Instytut Mechaniki Górotworu Polskiej Akademii Nauk, SYSTRA and many others…) we had the pleasure of working with during the proposal preparation process – your efforts are greatly appreciated!🙏 I am really looking forward to this year’s evaluation. The projects VUHU prepared or contributed, address some truly critical topics that are essential for the successful #transformation of coal regions and the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people who live there. I won’t reveal too much just yet😎, but I believe we have a lot to look forward to! Reflecting on the focus of this year’s projects, it's fascinating to see how our interests have shifted. When I first started working with RFCS in 2015 on the #SLOPES project (btw. still my favorite to this day, thanks Alec Marshall😉), our ptojects usually focused on topics such as mining safety, minimizing geotechnical risks during operations, or exploring the potential uses of coal. This year’s proposals highlight environmental issues, post-mining risk mitigation, sustainability, cultural heritage, digitalization, and the impacts of climate change... I’m glad #RFCS is still here, opening doors for our 🇪🇺coopration and also to new challenges that we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago✌️

THIS IS AMAZING ! https://lnkd.in/gyzi-hYN 👇 " Like everything we see in the world, isotopes are a type of atom, the smallest unit of matter that retains all the chemical properties of an element. Isotopes are forms of a chemical element with specific properties. You can see the different chemical elements on the periodic table. Each element is distinguished by the number of protons, neutrons and electrons that it possesses. The atoms of each chemical element have a defining and same number of protons and electrons, but – crucially – not neutrons, whose numbers can vary. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. They share almost the same chemical properties, but differ in mass and therefore in physical properties. There are stable isotopes, which do not emit radiation, and there are unstable isotopes, which do emit radiation. The latter are called radioisotopes. Nuclear techniques are used to measure the amounts and proportions of isotopes in matter, and trace their origin, history and sources based on this information. These measurements help experts to understand, for instance, terrestrial and aquatic systems, the volume of certain vitamins absorbed by the body, or the amount of fertiliser plants take up. Learn more about the different types of isotopes. What is an isotopic signature? An isotopic signature is the set of ratios between the amount of the various isotopes of an element in a sample. Isotopic signatures are commonly known as fingerprints, because they are similar to human fingerprints and are used to track and trace. They are found in water, land, plants and animals. By tracing these fingerprints, scientists can evaluate: the migration of species on land and in water food chains and dietary changes of animals geographical and botanical provenance of food the age and quality of water bodies including groundwater aquifers origins of water and atmosphere pollution (Graphic: A. Vargas/IAEA) For example, the naturally occurring isotope carbon-14 present in water is used to understand the age of water and other organic materials. Read the IAEA Bulletins to learn more about the importance and uses of isotopes and their signatures. " https://lnkd.in/gnkSjxi8
