Continuous monitors protect famous rivers

Envirotec Magazine

The ecology of these rivers is therefore extremely important, and a network of 21 continuous water monitoring stations has recently been established for Southern Water, in compliance with its abstraction licence for the Testwood water supply works near Southampton. The instrumentation firm behind it, Meteor Communications, explains.

Generating electricity using low-grade heat recovered from lignin-derived membranes

Envirotec Magazine

A new study explores an apparently sustainable method of efficiently converting waste heat into electricity using certain wood products, while minimising costs and environmental impact. The study apparently shows that these membranes can convert waste heat into electricity by utilising the movement of charged atoms (ions) within the material.

Project sets out to create compostable crop sensors

Envirotec Magazine

An international research collaboration is setting out to find new ways of monitoring crop growth with biodegradable sensors which can be composted at the end of their lifespan. In fact, the waste materials from our sensors will help to grow future crops of the plants they once monitored.
