Research & Development 2023
Project Title:
PM Ecology Ltd., as part of a consortium with Gdansk University of Technology (Consortium Leader), Lodz University of Technology, and the AGH University of Science and Technology, is implementing a project co-funded by the Government’s Strategic Hydrostrategy Program “Innovations for Inland Water Economy and Navigation” under the title: “Integrated Intelligent Monitoring System for Reducing the Migration of Anthropogenic Compounds in Rainwater Retention Systems – MoreLogg.”
Project Objective:
The project aims to conduct industrial research and development work that will ultimately allow for the development, production, and implementation of the modular, integrated MoreLogg system for monitoring anthropogenic pollution in the broader water economy. Within the project, measurement sensors will be designed and built for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of compounds such as pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and biosensors for detecting water contamination (detection of E. Coli bacteria and neurotoxins produced by cyanobacteria). These sensors will be assembled into a modular, energy-efficient measurement set with battery power and renewable energy sources (RES) coupled with an online system for real-time data collection and analysis. The result of the project will be the reduction of surface water pollution, ensuring the safety of those using rainwater resources, better utilization of retained waters, sustainable water management in cities, and the prediction of threats and environmental disasters related to climate change in aquatic environments.
The resulting product – the MoreLogg system – will be offered to water and sewage companies, municipalities managing stormwater drainage networks, and state institutions responsible for water management.
Project Budget:
The total project value is 12,191,345.00 PLN, including funding from public sources provided by the National Centre for Research and Development in the amount of 10,870,265.50 PLN.
