#water quality monitoring

[juliasteiwer]

Throwback to the field test at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) at the Hospital for Tropical Medicine in Bangkok. This was in late March 2024 and the first time I tested my sensor node prototype.

Interestingly, the analog sensors showed some weird values when I was deploying my node there. I assume that some condensation or air pressure diffences inside the box might have affected the converter boards, as (1) communication via LoRaWAN was still working normally, (2) the digital DS18B20 water temperature sensor (who doesn't need a converter board) was working fine, and (3) the errors did not occur indoors, where humidity was much lower.

So before the next field test — besides loads of other things — I have to improve the cable passage and the pressure compensation valve so that no humidity can get suctioned into the box where it coud wreck electronics through condensation.

French startup using mollusks to monitor and protect aquatic environments

Sentinel oysters and other bivalve mollusks are now monitoring ocean water quality and environmental degradation in multiple locations around the globe. And according to molluSCAN the startup who built the software and hardware that connects these shellfish into an environmental warning system, they do so with greater sensitivity, better longevity, and lower cost than non-biological systems.

The company uses aquatic bivalves, such as oysters, mussels, or clams to monitor the environment. These mollusks, which are filter feeders, react to changes in water conditions, helping to detect pollution and other disruptions in water quality.

HOW?

It’s no easy task. To use biological systems or animals as early warning detectors of pollution, you need to know what is unusual behavior. To sense unusual behavior, you have to deeply know usual behavior. In other words, you have to build essentially a simulation or digital twin of the actual animal and model its normal and healthy behavior, and you have to build a sensor system that detects and transmits abnormal behavior.

molluSCAN-eye achieved that thanks to over 20 years of research at the Arcachon Marine Station of the University of Bordeaux. Thanks to that data, the company build what it calls High Frequency Non-Invasive Valvometry: a fancy way of describing its incredibly sensitive technology for monitoring the tiniest of bivalve mollusks movements. When those movements follow irregular or abnormal patterns, the system alerts scientists that something is amiss.

A typical installation includes 16 mollusks, each fitted with a tiny sensor complete with a battery that has years of available power. The sensors, which measure animal behavior 10 times a second, connect to a nearby electronic control box that captures the data from each animal and relays it to scientists or technicians.

16 is the minimum number of mollusks to ensure statistical reliability of the captured signals.

“We use micro-electrodes that are very light, like one gram only outside of water, so it's like tenths of a gram inside water,” says Quinault. “So the animals don't feel anything and we measure every movement that they do, meaning the way they open or close at a very high level of precision down to the micrometer.”
