The process and apparatus for prevention of the massive bloom of harmful cyanobacteria are disclosed. Cayanobacteria bloom is harmful for human health due to the biosynthesis of toxic, geno-toxic and carcinogenic compounds. The novel process is based on strategic triggering the lyric cycle of the lysogenic cyanobacteria.
F.08 Development and manufacture of a prototype
COBISS.SI-ID: 2885199The method and device system according to the invention allows the maintenance of particles (cyanobacteria) in suspension due to the unidirectional flow with no interference with their structure. The slow mixing in the sensing chamber transforms the highly turbulent flow in a steady unidirectional flow that passes the detection system. Photodiodes detect the average signal additionally carrying the additional information from the area of maximal detection on the morphological and physiological characteristics of micro-particles.
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 3783759The innovation relates to design of a measurement chamber which enables determination of cyanobacteria concentration and their morphological and physiological traitsaccording to method described in our patent application EP 15161547.3. Chamber enables measurements in laminar water-flow at the location with optical activity of flurorescence sensors.
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 8331897The invention relates to electronic device as a source of a constant current for optimal performance of electrolytic cell. The device monitors the conditions on active surfaces of electrodes and saturation of cell volume wit gaseous and solid particulates from in-flowing liquid.
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 8331641The use of fluorescence sensors has been accepted as quick and straightforward method of monitoring of phytoplankton. The method is based on in vivo fluorescence of photosynthetic pigments and enables measurements of occurrence and spatial variability of phytoplankton in real-time. Simultaneous measurements of with chlorophyll a (CHL) and in phycocyanin (PC) fluorescence sensors were made for quantification and differentiation of phytoplankton. The differences in intensity of CHL and PC fluorescence were investigated among five representative phytoplankton samples. Results were compared with standardised measurements methods: cell counting, the quantity of extracted pigment and bio-volumes to select the most accurate calibration method.
