Innovation is Key
RS Hydro and Proteus Instruments have tackled some of the most complex environmental challenges worldwide.
They have developed a world’s first, award winning, real-time sensors capable of measuring parameters such as BOD, COD, TOC, DOC, and coliforms, including E. coli.
Proteus Instruments argue that “it is necessary to innovate now rather than later. Right now, there are great solutions available that will provide better and more cost-effective data. Those who adopt innovation, will reap the rewards by having maintainable water quality networks with good defensible data; those who don’t will have networks that will descend into chaos and without doubt have significant interactions with environmental regulators, shareholders and the public.”
The team and their products are at the forefront of innovation.
Working alongside South East Rivers Trust and the National Trust, RS Hydro and Proteus will be leading a live demonstration of water quality testing and data collection at The UK River Summit on the River Wandle.
Also speaking as part of our main panel, “It’s Not All About Sewage” Hannah Gunter is a dedicated researcher currently immersed in the world of environmental science. Pursuing a PhD in fluorescence spectroscopy, her focus lies on the crucial area of detecting E. coli in various environmental settings. Partnering with the esteemed University of Birmingham and collaborating with RS Hydro/Proteus Instruments, her research journey has taken her deep into the intersection of academia and industry.
As well as her PhD, Hannah is a Project Research Manager with RS Hydro/Proteus Instruments, Hannah brings invaluable practical experience to her academic pursuits. Her work delves into the innovative realm of fluorescence applications for environmental monitoring, a field teeming with potential to revolutionise our understanding and management of water quality.
Driven by a passion for advancing scientific knowledge and contributing to real-world solutions, Hannah Gunter stands at the forefront of a rapidly evolving field, poised to make significant contributions to environmental science.
