Water, as the source of life, is an essential key resource in human life. With the development of society, problems such as water shortage and water environmental pollution have become increasingly prominent. How to upgrade of traditional water resources management with newer, more efficient and smarter technologies, equipment and solutions is more important now. Micro Sensor has a series of water treatment monitoring products and intelligent application solutions such as water management, sewage treatment, water purification treatment, etc. Facilitating automation of water resources management, it helps to improve industrial operation efficiency comprehensively and realize the dual benefits of energy saving and environmental protection. Industrial Sewage Treatment With the acceleration of industrialization process, environmental pollution has become increasingly serious, and the discharge of industrial wastewater has also increased significantly. If the wastewater is discharged without treatment, it will cause serious pollution to the environment and drinking water. In the sewage treatment process, various data such as the flow rate of discharged sewage, additives, sludge, etc., the pressure value of the pipeline in the treatment system, the liquid level of each treatment tank, and the water quality all affect the operation and treatment effect of the industrial sewage treatment system. Those all play an important role,

NETWORKED MICROGRIDS ENSURE THAT RENEWABLE ENERGY IS AVAILABLE AREA-WIDE Munich/Germany, Colombo/Sri Lanka, 22 October 2020: The off-grid experts at DHYBRID have taken a pioneering approach to the power grid in Sri Lanka. Their pilot project connects stand-alone grids to ensure a fail-safe supply of renewable power that can be utilized throughout the distribution area and expanded at any time. In the first stage of the project, DHYBRID is collaborating with its local partner DIMO to establish a grid-connected microgrid. The client is Sri Lanka’s leading utility company, Lanka Electricity Company (LECO), with power being supplied to the campus of the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka’s renowned technical university. The hybrid microgrid relies on DHYBRID’s Universal Power Platform energy management system as well as the company’s battery energy storage system, which offers 400 kWh of capacity and an output of 400 kW. Power is generated by four roof-mounted solar systems with a combined output of 350 kWp. A diesel generator is reserved for exceptional circumstances. Automatic compensation for fluctuations DHYBRID’s hardware and software solution controls all local power generators, manages key electrical loads and avoids disruptions to the grid. Together with the storage system, it automatically compensates for fluctuations in renewable power generation, thereby increasing the autonomy

The Board of The Renewables Infrastructure Group Limited (“TRIG”) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired a 100% interest in Haut Vannier SAS ("Haut Vannier" or "the Project"), with the rights to construct a 43MW wind farm located in Haute-Marne, approximately 65km northeast of the city of Dijon in France. The Project has been developed by Envision and Velocita, who will continue to carry out the construction, and will consist of 17 Envision 2.5MW E-131 turbines. Construction is underway and the Project is expected to commence operations in Q1 2022. RES will provide asset owner engineer services during the construction period. The Project will benefit from an attractive 20-year subsidy in the form of an inflation linked Contract-for-Difference with the utility company EDF, which fixes the price to be received for the power. As a result, the Project has no power price risk for the duration of the subsidy term. This acquisition represents the continuation of the Company's strategy to complement its balanced portfolio with different revenue characteristics to generate sustainable returns for shareholders, within TRIG's identified key markets. Once constructed, the Project would represent approximately 1% of TRIG's portfolio value on a committed investment basis. Following this acquisition, the percentage

Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark have succeeded in recovering over 98% of their municipal waste on average over the last five years Germany are now recycling half of their waste (50%), having improved year-on-year for the last five years Despite a 12% reduction over the last five years, Turkey are still sending a shocking 88% of waste to landfills When you take both waste production and waste recovery into account, Japan, Belgium and Sweden are leading the way in the overall war on waste. Our waste production is increasing throughout the globe due to growing populations and economies. With predictions that this will grow a further 70% as soon as 2050, our need to act is at an all time high. The question, of course, is whether countries across the world are indeed taking action and doing their part to both minimise waste and maximise its recovery. Packaging retailers RAJA have drawn on data presented from the OECD on the treatment of countries’ municipal waste, delving into 29 countries that had data available over five years. Through doing so, they were able to not only find out which countries are making positive movements in waste recovery, but also which ones are minimising

Tuco owner Jakob Frost sets the best time in the race "Round Denmark Inshore". Since the start Saturday morning at 10.00am, the carbon fiber boat Frostboxen, which Jakob Frost has built at the Tuco yard in Faaborg, has been chasing a new reference time in the Round Denmark inshore race. The race starts and ends in Aarhus, and along the way the team has been passing Skagen, Bornholm, and sailing through Little belt in their 650 nautical mile quest to concur the best time. The team's goal was a sailing time below 100 hours, was nicely achieved with a finish time after 92 hours and 35 minutes when the team finished at 6.35 on Wednesday morning. With the competitor Torben Fagerholdt just over 40 nautical miles behind him. With a new time on the "Round Denmark Inshore" course, Jakob Frost can bring another Danish sailing trophy home to Tuco in Faaborg, where also the "Silver Spinnaker trophy" for fastest time around Zealand, and the diploma for fastest time in the Royal Danish Yacht Club's record sailing Denmark Around Inshore stands. Jakob Frost and Tuco's built carbon fiber boats have thus taken a heavy toll on the Danish distance sailing and record racing,

With IMO targeting a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, LNG is becoming a natural choice for shipowners in the transition to carbon-neutral fuels. Methane slip regulations are a possibility on the horizon, but Alfa Laval and global Swiss engine developer WinGD have already cooperated on a solution. The Alfa Laval PureCool system is the main component in WinGD’s iCER technology, an option for next-generation WinGD X-DF engines that slashes methane slip and significantly boosts fuel and energy efficiency. Methane slip – the next compliance target? As a growing number of vessels turn to LNG as fuel, many shipowners are concerned about the potential appearance of methane slip regulations. LNG produces less CO2 than other fossil fuels when burned, but a small percentage of methane can slip through the engine without being combusted. Since methane has a higher global warming potential than CO2, even this small source of emissions may come into focus in meeting IMO’s ambitious climate goals. “With IMO aiming to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% compared to 2008 levels, LNG has a major role as a bridge fuel in moving towards a carbon-neutral future,” says David Jung, Business Development Manager at Alfa Laval. “However, the
