SenseOCEAN: Marine sensors for the 21st Century (SenseOcean)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

...iogeochemical sensor package that is small and low-cost yet will be rugged and high performance. This product will have a major impact on the ability of EU SMEs and industry to compete in the growing market of environmental metrology and networked ecosystems. The product will measure with high precision and accuracy all of the following: the oceanic carbonate system, nutrients, the micronutrient i ...

NAPES - Next Generation Analytical Platforms for Environmental Sensing (NAPES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,

GOALS:The current state-of-the-art for autonomous environmental instruments monitoring the chemical and biological status of our water is based on flow systems that employ conventional approaches to sample/liquid handling, which makes them prohibitively expensive (often >€20K per unit) in terms of up-scaling deployments. This project will investigate ways to deliver revolutionary advances in liqui ...

COST-EFFECTIVE SENSORS, INTEROPERABLE WITH INTERNATIONAL EXISTING OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEMS, TO MEET EU POLICIES REQUIREMENTS (COMMON SENSE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The COMMON SENSE project will contribute to support the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and other EU policies (e.g. Common Fisheries Policy), providing easily usable across several platforms, cost-effective, multi-functional innovative sensors to detect reliable in-situ measurements on key parameters by means of methodological standards. This proposal will focus, b ...

A novel swimming pool water treatment for the detection and elimination of excess cyanuric acid (POOLSAFE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Microorganisms in swimming pool water can pose a serious health threat and pool disinfection is therefore compulsory by law in all developed countries. The most common disinfectant is chlorine, which is always found in its active form, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), in pool water. HOCl is rapidly decomposed by UV light, losing its bactericide effect, and a continuous supply is needed to maintain safe l ...

Water Network Sensors for Widespread Use (WIDESENS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Widesens aims to design and develop a prototype analytical drinking water probe and its complementary applications for in-pipe water quality measurement with ideal specifications for a wide deployment. These sensors will be based on microelectronic technologies (ISFET, IDEs and microelectrodes). As a first approach they will measure pH, conductivity, bio-fouling, oxidative reduction potential (ORP ...

Creating and testing a method for controlling the air quality based on a new biotechnological tool. Use of a devitalized moss clone as passive contaminant sensor (MOSSCLONE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

The European Council Directive 96/62/EC about ambient air quality assessment and management, requires to States the periodical availability of information about air quality within their territories. Nevertheless, the available methods are expensive, which prevents they can be used in a large scale. Thus, at present it is necessary to have inexpensive and robust tools for monitoring air quality acr ...

Advanced Technologies for Water Resource Management (ATWARM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Technology gaps exist within the EU that prohibit compliance with the Water Framework Directive in providing an integrated water resource management strategy that will secure both water quality and quantity. The fundamental objective of the ATWARM ITN is to enhance the career prospects of 16 young researchers by providing them with greatly enhanced multidisciplinary skills and business aptitudes t ...
