📬 ELBE EUROCLUSTER'S #NEWS CorPower Ocean sought expert insights with funding from the ELBE EUROCLUSTER to optimise the lubrication and sealing systems of their cutting-edge #Wave Energy Converters (WECs), a €10,000 grant under the 2nd call for #Innovation Individual Services. 🤝 Through the i-TRIBOMAT platform, the European Tribology Centre assembled a team from Luleå tekniska universitet, Tekniker, and AC2T research GmbH —bringing together some of Europe’s leading tribological expertise. 🎯Together the team conducted a detailed analysis of CorPower’s systems, identifying potential challenges such as oil degradation under high temperature, pressure, and water contamination. 🌱 A key takeaway? The importance of truly knowing your system. #Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) are essential in marine settings, but they bring their complexity—prone to hydrolysis, sensitive to contamination, and often challenging to monitor. Without careful system-specific selection, even the greenest lubricant can lead to unexpected wear or failure. 📝 Recommendations included improved #lubricant monitoring, considering inert gas alternatives, and refining seal designs to manage both water and air exposure. The next steps are already taking shape as CorPower continues to push the boundaries of green marine technology.

📬 ELBE EUROCLUSTER'S #NEWS BIO-UV Group collaborated with Iberdrola to solve the challenge "Ballast water treatment mobile solution for offshore floating windmill" 💶 Project funded with 60.000€ within the #Innovation #Challenges call of ELBE EUROCLUSTER. European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP)
BIO-UV Group is submitting its final report to ELBE EUROCLUSTER endorsing the results of the 12 months R&D project about the development of a containerised ballast water treatment system 💡 The modularity and portability of this solution make it ideal not only for offshore projects but also for emergency use by ships facing ballast water management system failures. For instance, portable units could be deployed on barges or in ports to assist vessels with inoperable ballast water management systems, ensuring compliance with environmental standards during unexpected breakdowns. This capability would fill a critical gap in current maritime operations, offering ports and shipping companies a reliable and effective contingency plan ⚓️ With the rapid development of offshore projects globally, ballast water compliance challenges have emerged as the movement of these floating structures across different territorial waters risks the spread of non-indigenous invasive aquatic species 🦀 While the maritime industry has made significant strides in reducing the risk with the introduction of ballast water treatment systems, the offshore sector is just beginning to recognise its obligations under the Ballast Water Management Convention. BIO-SEA containerised system offers a portable, scalable solution that meets these needs effectively. The initiative, funded through the European Union’s joint cluster initiatives programme ELBE EUROCLUSTER under grant agreement No 101074230, was to adapt BIO-UV’s type-approved BIO-SEA for deployment in a standard TEU container, allowing port authorities or operators to treat ballast water on-site or during maintenance offshore. We would like to thank Pôle Mer Méditerranée Clémence Le Corff and ELBE EUROCLUSTER as well as Euroports for their support and help in conducting this research and pilot project 🙏 #BIOUVGroup #BIOSEA #ELBE #EUROCLUSTER #R&D #Project #Containerised #BWTS #Solution #Offshore #Environment #Maritime #Industry #Port
