Geosynthetics are polymeric products used to solve civil engineering problems. They include woven geotextiles, nonwoven geotextiles, knitted geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, and more. Geosynthetics have applications in road construction, hydraulic works, port construction, coastal defenses, slope protection, waste disposal sites, retaining walls, reinforced soil works, drainage, and more. Specifications and test standards ensure geosynthetics meet requirements for applications like filtration, separation, reinforcement, drainage, and containment.
The document discusses financial management for businesses. It covers budgeting strategies like capital and operating expenditures. It also discusses monitoring finances through metrics like sales needed to break even, pricing, gross profit, cash flow projections, and net asset value. Regular financial monitoring and having a financial management system in place are presented as important for business viability, risk management, and future growth or exit opportunities. The document provides examples and emphasizes the importance of a strong attitude towards service, administration, finance, and appearance.

This document summarizes research being conducted on seaweed cultivation for bioenergy. It discusses a pilot project in Strangford Lough that is testing different cultivation systems for Laminaria digitata seaweed. The research aims to develop sustainable cultivation and harvesting protocols. It involves monitoring the environment, growth of seaweed, and exploring integrated multi-trophic aquaculture to diversify products and reduce risks. The goal is to better understand how to cultivate seaweed as a sustainable source of biomass for bioenergy.
This document discusses various innovations related to the sea, including patents for improving safety at sea, fishing and aquaculture, coastal protection, and ship building. It describes patents for a reversible life raft, a device to insulate work clothes in water, aquaculture nets with anisotropic bottoms to prevent sagging, and algae cultivation using floating containers and support structures. The document also mentions innovations in coastal flood defenses, geotextiles for terraforming and protection, solar and wind power for ships, and encourages developing patents for innovations related to the sea.

This presentation will outline the innovative processes and techniques we are using to capture the data, information and knowledge surrounding Algae cultivation in NWE Europe with a view to developing sophisticated decision support tools. These tools will enable stakeholders to explore current activities and potential opportunities in their region and understand the economic, environmental and legislative issues surrounding the cultivation of algae for energy.
The document discusses growing algae on nitrate-rich wastewater from Cambridge Water to reduce nitrate levels. Laboratory experiments found that several marine algae species could grow using nutrients from diluted brine wastewater. Larger scale experiments in photobioreactors confirmed one marine species, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, could effectively use nutrients from the wastewater. Future work involves optimizing growth of polar algae species and developing an innovation facility to further explore algal bioremediation applications.

The document summarizes a Zeetex seminar that took place on January 23rd, 2014 in Kortrijk, Belgium. The objective of Zeetex is to create a platform for developing innovative textile products for marine and maritime applications. There are four themes: safety, fishing/aquaculture, protection, and shipbuilding/sailing. Zeetex aims to detect opportunities for innovation, stimulate textile product development, and help connect companies, but does not provide direct funding. Services include free materials testing and assistance with partnerships, funding searches, and project proposals. The partners involved are Flanders Maritime Cluster, UP-tex, Aquimer, and Centexbel.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Mikaël Laurent on the uses of textiles during oil spills. It discusses how Cedre, the Centre of Documentation, Research and Experimentation on Accidental Water Pollution in France, provides technical expertise on textiles for oil spill response. The presentation outlines the main uses of textiles for containing, collecting, and cleaning up oil. It also describes the principles of France's organization for oil spill response at sea and on land, and notes the specific market for oil spill response equipment.

The document discusses tidal energy and DEME Blue Energy's involvement in the sector. It describes tidal energy resources and the two main technologies used: tidal barrages and tidal currents. Tidal barrages use basins that fill and empty with tides, while tidal currents involve turbines that capture the kinetic energy of tidal flows. DEME Blue Energy supports the development of tidal energy projects, including providing services for promotion, financing, and developing more advanced tidal turbine technologies to harness tidal energy on a commercial scale.
This document summarizes Peter Davies' presentation on composites for maritime applications. It discusses IFREMER's work testing and developing composite materials and structures for surface vessels and underwater applications. Some key projects mentioned include testing composite panels and structures to simulate marine loads, developing thermoplastic composite cylinders for underwater uses that demonstrate good implosion resistance and impact behavior similar to epoxy composites. The presentation also outlines potential future areas of work with biocomposites and low-temperature thermoplastic resin infusion materials.
