Comment: Technology will be crucial to the success of vertical farms
Vertical farming is increasingly being regarded as one of the solutions to the problems faced by global food production systems, and in the following...
Sponsored Content: A novel design for the measurement of gas fluxes
A better understanding of fluxes of climate-relevant gases is required to inform climate change studies and enable better management of ecosystems to mitigate their climate impact.
Continuous monitors protect famous rivers
The Test and Itchen catchments supply much of Hampshire’s public water needs, as well as a significant proportion of the Isle of Wight’s requirements. Both rivers drain into Southampton Water, and in turn, into the Solen't.
£10.7 million for local authorities
Local authorities across England have been granted almost £11 million in the latest round of funding for projects intended to help improve air quality.
Sponsored Content: What Will the Future of Boilers Look Like
Boilers have long been the system that many UK households use to heat up their homes. Dating all the way back to 1868, boilers have been a part of most UK homes.
Using E. coli to detect heavy metal contamination
Scientists have demonstrated that the bacterium Escherichia coli - often associated with contaminated food - can be used as part of a system to...
Optimising water data ahead of price review
Ofwat has published its PR24 final methodology and expectations around leakage and water consumption are predictably high. Implemented now, smart technology can help get...
Smart technology enables odour mitigation at Paris WtE plant
A waste to energy (WtE) plant in northern Paris, known as the ‘L'étoile Verte’ or ‘Green Star’ waste recovery facility, which was originally built...
Norwegian utility claims to calculate true cost of sewer ingress
Inflow of stormwater and infiltration of groundwater into sewers is a constant operational challenge, but a water utility in Norway is gaining better understanding...
Comment: Massive IoT enables massive opportunities for utilities
Massive IoT, alias massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC), is already impacting multiple industries. From fleet management to environmental monitoring and smart grid management, to consumer...
Sponsored Content: Reflections on a decade of sensing
Gas sensor manufacturer DD-Scientific writes: In 2011 we had a site comprising a single building, and were offering sensors for only six gas types and two package sizes, with a team who would be outnumbered on a football pitch.
Particle profiling
A new study has found high concentrations of small particles in the air in the Copenhagen Metro.
Safeguarding tech on trial
Digital technology company InfoTiles has won the opportunity to demonstrate its water management platform - which helps guard against I&I - with a municipality in western Switzerland.
Starch yields wearable electronics material that can be recycled
Soft, wearable sensors have many useful applications, but the soft and stretchable electronic materials underlying them are nearly impossible to recycle. This electronic waste...
Extractive or in-situ gas analysers: which is best?
There are two main options for gas analysis in industrial processes or emissions; the analyser can be located inside the gas stream (in-situ), or...
Dangers and opportunities of digital transformation explored at British Water Data Conference
The sixth British Water Data Conference, which took place on 3 November 2022, kicked off with a warning from keynote speaker Oliver Grieveson on...
£1.4m funding for chemist’s research into hazardous materials handling
A University of Glasgow chemist is establishing a new research group with £1.4m in new funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council...
Sponsored Content: “Laser-focused on net zero”
Mark Naples, General Manager at Umicore Coating Services writes: Laser absorption spectroscopy is a powerful tool for detecting trace gases and has been widely used in the monitoring of atmospheric greenhouse gases, pollution, and respiration processes, including human breath analysis. The detection is based on the absorption of light when it propagates through a medium.
Connected detector
A new single-gas detection wearable from Blackline Safety is said to offer fast incident response time and a more efficient way to manage safety and compliance.
Detecting leaks before they occur
A group in the US claims to have made an important advance with the transducers that use ultrasonic guided-wave technology to detect anomalies in pipes, helping users prevent leaks before they start.
