Blue Bioindustry

With increasing diversity of marine industrial applications the demands on specific methods against biofouling and corrosion increase. In addition, the proximity of different industrial applications multiplies the level of complexity for environmentally friendly solutions. We use our expertise to introduce and implement new ideas and innovative solutions and offer engineering services to develop coatings. The department Blue Bioindustry has experiences in testing eco-friendly coatings against biofouling. 

Another focus of the department is to establish a new R&D line in the field of microbial energy production in marine ecosystems. The aim is to develop a new energy system based on the naturally occurring electrical potential difference across the sediment / water zones, as long-term energy source for maritime technologies.
