Objective
This project addresses a world wide need for a reliable, affordable, and simple means of measuring total Nitrogen levels in marine waters. Providing the enabl ing technology will have major effect on the market penetration of the particip ating SMEs including the provision of increased revenues and employment levels. It will also have a major effect on growth in the marine aquaculture industry, aid early detection of pollution, increase knowledge of pollution and marine s cience, have a substantial effect on tourism, and ultimately provide the enabli ng technology to measure Nitrogen in fresh waters also. The consortium propo ses a technical solution whereby various constituents of Nitrogen and various o ther physical parameters will be measured simultaneously, alogarithms developed to compute the various constituents in total Nitrogen and these measurements t ransmitted by telemetry or other signal transmission methods. The resulting dat a and information can then be used to control denitrification processes if appr opriate by automatically returning a signal to the site of measurement. The project will facilitate enhanced safety at the work place for persons involved in marine aquaculture and have substantial social and environmental implication s for the public in general. The project has considerable technical risk and wi ll hinge on the development of new ionophores which are suitable for use in mar ine waters, allow matrix compensation, enable sufficient low levels of detectio n and can be configured into an array which is rugged and suitable for a marine environment. Although the initial industrial objective is aimed at the maricul ture industry, the project has major pollution and climate implications in that it is envisaged with global warming that there will be a proliferation of prob lems due to high Nitrogen levels. The consortium is pan-national in structur e and has an outstanding track record of project development and management.
