    Ficha WINESITY Sensor automático para controlar la densidad en contínuo en la fermentación del vino

    El objetivo general del proyecto Winesity es el diseño y producción de un prototipo de densímetro automático para controlar en continuo la evolución de la fermentación en los depósitos de vino destinados a este fin en las bodegas. Beneficios asociados al uso del sensor WINESITY: Reducir el tiempo dedicado por los técnicos a la medición de la densidad durante la fermentación: Actualmente, la densidad del mosto se controla de una forma manual, mediante un procedimiento laborioso que se realiza una o dos veces al día en todos los depósitos de fermentación. Esto exige tiempo diario de un técnico que, en una bodega de las dimensiones de la Cooperativa de Falset Marçà y Afalma, se estima en aproximadamente 2 horas. Detectar más rápidamente problemas que puedan surgir durante la fermentación: El control en continuo de la densidad en los depósitos supone una medida preventiva ante problemas en la calidad del vino derivados de alteraciones del proceso de fermentación. El uso del Winesity permite actuar con rapidez ante paradas de la misma, para evitar el crecimiento de bacterias lácticas y acéticas que puedan afectar la calidad organoléptica del vino. Optimizar el empleo de los depósitos de fermentación: El control en continuo de la densidad permite detectar inmediatamente problemas de fermentación que pueden frenarla y, en consecuencia, alargar el tiempo de permanencia en el depósito necesario para completar el proceso. Con el histórico de gestión de la Cooperativa Agrícola Falset Marçà y Afalma, esta detección rápida se valora que podría ahorrar hasta 3 días de ocupación de depósito, permitiendo más entrada de uva en la bodega y un incremento en la producción de vino por campaña.

    A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System

    Document

    Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

    NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY

    Document

    This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).

    Environmental monitoring within greenhouse crops using wireless sensors

    Document

    Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
