OUTPUT DESCRIPTION

The design of the system consists of a measurement buoy equipped with different sensors (including the bbe FluoroProbe), the remote data transmission and diagnostic system, the definition of data-based phytoplankton indicators and automated data integration into predictive modelling of phytoplankton dynamics.

Main outputs : a software with a monitoring instrumentation to collect the data necessary to feed the software.

STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

semi industrial pilot utility patterns (ready to use), Technical and economical Analysis toward pre-industrialisation

Le système PROLIPHYC est opérationnel au terme du projet et il a été testé entre 2007 et 2009 sur trois sites présentant des caractér

 
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES

Monitoring, indicators and predictive models associated. A unique monitoring and real time alert system for water managers. Key points are on progress on data analysis methods and operationnal indicators.

 
TRANSFERABILITY

Possibility to transfer the output on other territories.

The system has been tested on different lakes representative of most European water bodies and cyanobacterial blooms.

 Steps ahead
NEXT STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS 'READY TO USE'

The product (software + buoy) is ready to use. It is ready to be commercialised. Promotion towards potential clients is needed.

INVOLVEMENT OF THE OWNER FOR THE NEXT STEPSCommercial agreement, Technical support if the client has not the competences to use the system
TYPE OF PARTNER FOR THE NEXT DEVELOPMENTSnot relevant
TASKS TO BE PERFORMED

To sell the system Then to support the implementation if necessary:

1) Calibrate the equipment

2) Select the appropriate place to put the buoy on the lake

3) Model the lake (make the calculation with all the parameters for the selected la)
