Eurofins’ Post

🌱It’s essential for individuals, organizations, and governments to work together to manage the plastic waste, reduce the plastic usage and transition to a more resilient environment. #EurofinsETM helps the local authority in researching and finding the solutions to address the challenges such as pollution, sustainable food systems etc posed by microplastic and protecting the planet 🌎 #microplastic_testing #EnvironmentServices #EurofinsETM #EurofinsSacKyHaiDang

My new Article with subject of “Investigating the Growth Rate of Tetraselmis Algae and its Effect on Nitrogen Removal From Aquaculture Wastewater” publish in Journal of Advances in Environmental Health Research. In this study, I worked as a statistical advisor.

🌲 Today, 16 EU Member States presented a joint statement calling for the sustainable bioeconomy to be placed at the core of the next European Commission's work program during the Agriculture and Fisheries Council Meeting. 🌱 The For Forest group call for strengthened support for the forest-based bioeconomy noting its critical role for the EU to reach its climate targets, develop its open strategic autonomy and supporter of enhanced competitiveness, jobs and prosperity in the EU. #bioeconomy #forestindustry https://lnkd.in/e6REN66H

Injecting highly acidic CO2 waste into a usable water supply aquifer is utter madness. Water is the most precious resource on this planet, and especially so in arid outback Qld. The Great Artesian Basin is a natural wonder of the world; a gift of immeasurable proportions, giving life to inland regional communities that could not survive without it. To put our shared groundwater resources at jeopardy, while disregarding the precautionary principle, is conceivable malfeasance by the authorities that allow these risks to occur, whether that be #CCS or #CSG. Intergenerational equity should never be disregarded or shrugged off as someone else's concern. It is the shared responsibility of everyone alive today to ensure our next generations are able to exist sustainably as we are able to do today. Failure to do so amounts to selfish short-term conduct at the expense of our children & their children's futures.

Application of MBBR Media in RAS MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) media is utilized in RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) primarily to facilitate the process of biological filtration. In RAS, maintaining water quality is crucial, and MBBR media serves as a key component in achieving this goal. RAS is a system used in aquaculture to maintain water quality by recirculating and treating the water within the system. MBBR media provides a large surface area for the growth of beneficial bacteria, which play a crucial role in the biological filtration process. The applications of MBBR media in RAS include: 1. Biological filtration: MBBR media is primarily used in RAS for efficient biological filtration. The media offers a habitat for the formation of biofilm, where beneficial bacteria can attach and grow. These bacteria aid in the breakdown of ammonia and nitrite, which are toxic to aquatic animals, by facilitating nitrification. The substantial surface area of the MBBR media allows for a high density of bacteria, ensuring effective removal of nitrogenous waste. 2. Nitrification: MBBR media supports the growth of nitrifying bacteria, such as Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, which convert ammonia (produced by animal waste) into less harmful nitrate through the process of nitrification. By providing a suitable growth environment on the MBBR media, nitrification can be promoted. #WaterTreatment #RAS #MBBRmedia #SmallBoss

The average Interreg North Sea Programme project lasts between 3 and 5 years. However, a project's impacts can last far beyond the project lifetime. In the case of NuReDrain, a project that has built filter systems for nutrient removal from agricultural waters, one of those impacts is a recently-announced a 75% subsidy by the Flemish government for farmers who install a Nuredrain filter system, which will continue past the 30 June closing date of the project. Thanks to consistent efforts put forth by this Interreg North Sea project partnership, the project was able to get the filter system on a shortlist of measures that receive funding through the EU CAP (Common Agricultural Policy). This is good news because the filters have proven to remove on average 60 to 80% of nutrients from agricultural waters. Applying these filter systems on nutrient hotspots across Europe will improve surface water quality and will be effective against eutrophication, a common effect of which is algae blooms. To better understand what the project has undertaken, here's an explanatory video: https://lnkd.in/e3AuY364 #NuReDrain #madewithinterreg
