🌊 #MarianaTrench, located in the Western Pacific, is the deepest spot-on Earth's ocean floor. At a staggering depth of 36,070 feet (10,994 meters), it's a realm of extremes with unique environments and marine life adapted to intense pressures. 🐙Beyond its natural wonders, the trench faces environmental challenges. A study revealed the presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), banned in the 1970s, in the fatty tissues of amphipods from the trench. Additionally, #microplastic #pollution has reached the trench's hadal zone, with abundances higher than in many deep-sea sediments. 🌊 One of the suggested methods for cleaning microplastics from the ocean is applying our SATOORNIK Gen I microplastic separation. This innovative solution aims to protect the quality of drinking water, enhance membrane efficiency, and prevent the release of microplastics from brine after #desalination. more info Link: https://lnkd.in/env2wz_M Or : https://lnkd.in/eiSHD2cB News link: https://lnkd.in/edvnSUWy

The theme for Earth Day 2024 is Planet vs. Plastics. This summer, we supported the Dynamics of Sinking Plastic Expedition, led by National Geographic Explorer Dr. Laura Simon Sanchez. The main objective of this research expedition in the Gulf of Panama was to investigate the vertical distribution of microplastics along the water column and to explore the processes governing how these pollutants sink to the seafloor. Conducting the research in the Gulf of Panama allowed the science team to collect samples in an understudied area of the Pacific Ocean, where nearly 6% of the global marine trade occurs. https://lnkd.in/dqXdMTmu #Earthday24 #MicroplasticDynamics #PlasticPollution

With World Water Week 2023 starting on 20th August, it's a great nudge to reconsider how you use water in your lab. If you'd prefer to carry out waterless reflux or distillation when scaling up your reaction, the CondenSyn MAXI offers an ideal solution. This unique and sustainable design uses the proven CondenSyn technology and is favoured by scientists around the world. It's quick and simple to set up and use, it enables repeatable results (no fluctuations in water pressure!), and there's zero risk of flooding! Why waste the water when you can improve your results and reduce your environmental impact simply by making a smart swap? Let us know if you'd like more information about the CondenSyn, or CondenSyn MAXI, and how it could benefit your work in the lab? #sustainablechemistry #worldwaterweek #aircondenser #reflux #distillation

Unveiling the secrets behind bleaching earth: Did you know the activation process involves treating natural clay with strong acids?

In this latest edition we explore biological processes for #sustainable #wastewater. Due to recent technological advancement another aerobic innovative variation, known as the Organica process, seamlessly integrates conventional wastewater treatment technology with a botanical ecosystem. Organica utilises plant roots that grow into the effluent, fostering the growth of beneficial bacteria and living organisms. Its design, reminiscent of a greenhouse or garden, not only enhances the functionality of wastewater treatment plants but also elevates their aesthetic appeal 🌱 #naturebasedsolutions #pacific

Clean by ozone. It’s a term many may not be familiar with, but for Arrow Lake they are on a mission to develop the world’s most efficient ozone technology and energy-efficient solutions. The FLO3W® is an ozone-based water quality management system where ozone is mixed with cleaning water until it is completely dissolved, with the levels continuously measured for optimal purification. Ozone effectively kills bacteria and microorganisms found in soil. The system is used by wholesalers to wash vegetables, berries, fruit, and herbs. Resulting in products that require less refrigeration, have a longer shelf life, and the use of chemicals is reduced. Protolabs - Europe collaborated with Arrow Lake by manufacturing an injection moulded tool and prototype component that are included in The Flow3W®. This sustainable solution is now being delivered to customers worldwide, and Arrow Lake are continuing their mission by exploring other industries that can leverage this technology.

🌊🔄 Transforming Lives with BioSand Filters: The GROSCHE Safe Water Project 🔄🌊 Ever wondered how our BioSand filters work? Here's a breakdown of the magic behind this life-changing technology: 1. Pour and Purify: Polluted water enters the filter from the top and swiftly passes through the biolayer, pressured by the high water level. As it reaches the sand, the flow rate slows down, allowing impurities to be trapped. 2. Nature's Purification: Inside the filter, beneficial bacteria flourish, taking one to three weeks to mature. These bacteria feast on disease-causing germs, aiding in water purification. 3. Sand's Secret: Specially selected sand plays a crucial role in the filtration process, trapping, absorbing, and ultimately neutralizing harmful pathogens. 4. Gravel Guardians: After passing through the sand layer, water encounters two layers of gravel. The support gravel layer prevents sand from escaping, while the base gravel layer provides stability. 5. Clean Water Triumph: Finally, purified water collects at the bottom of the filter, ready to flow through the tap via gravity, providing safe drinking water to those in need. Join us in our mission to bring clean water to communities worldwide! 💧 #GROSCHESafeWater #BioSandFilter #CleanWaterForAll #EveryCupFillsAnother #GroscheForChange #SocialResponsibility
