METNIN™ TECHNOLOGY IS A LIGNIN REFINERY - SUSTAINABLE PATH TO REPLACE OLD BASED CHEMISTRY IN HIGH VALUE END USER PRODUCTSMETNIN™ Technology is developed to refine lignin to end-user specific characteristics. Our technology is agnostic to lignin source and provides the missing link in the value-chain between crude lignin and high value lignin fractions for specific end user products. Metnin™ is enabling lignin valorisation towards wide range of drop-in sustainable solutions in e.g. coatings, resins, plasticizers, polyurethanes, and moisture/humidity resistance packaging. MetGen’s technology has been proven in multiple pre-commercial installations and enables cost-efficient conversion of lignin into cascade of intermediate building blocks of specific molecular size.Basic engineering package, CAPEX and OPEX estimate available.

Micro-Enterprise Media Engine (MEME)The CSIR has developed a solution to deliver unbroken video streams over mobile networks from 2.5G (rural) – 4G (Wi-Fi) at data costs ranging from as low as R2 up to R50 per viewing hour. Live streaming to mobile devices in rural and some peri-urban communities is problematic as buffering severely impacts the experience. Streaming at ultra-low data costs remains a challenge. In addition, the commercial television industry is dominated by large regional monopolies that own expensive delivery mechanisms, with few opportunities to create a new generation of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) global broadcasters. The CSIR-developed Micro-Enterprise Media Engine (MEME) enables a broadcast manager to commission work from content creators, and to then upload, schedule and broadcast to audiences, while also connecting audiences to advertisers. “The solution has a low barrier to entry, and it is packaged into an offering as ‘broadcasting in a box’, suitable to enable media start-ups to become global broadcasters,” says CSIR chief engineer, Keith Ferguson. The technology is well suited to closed-group broadcasting with social media interaction as the feedback mechanism. Closed groups would typically include corporate marketing, communications and training of a dispersed workforce, distance learning for universities or schools with students in low-income groups, community broadcasting in mining communities and others. The MEME platform can benefit the information and communications technology corporate sector to host and develop applications that are customisable for the many market applications of this technology. “Of special interest is the inclusion of start-ups and SMMEs in partnership with the corporate sector,” says Ferguson.CSIR posted this:

Microbial extracts from saline marshes with outstanding moisturizing, UV-filter, wounding care and metal chelant propertiesSaline marshes are natural environments with hard conditions supporting life due to the high concentration of salts. Thus, microbial flora surviving there needs to develop high performance molecular mechanisms to retain water against osmotic pressure. Biochemize has developed a low-cost and non-invasive process for the isolation of those microorganisms and to obtain from those biomass extracts (containing high amounts of carotenes, licopenes and flavonoids, among other) with high capacities for the retention of water (much higher that those from hyaluronic acid), for filtering UV-radiation, for wounding care, and with outstanding properties as anti-oxidants and/or metal chelants. Applications for pharma, cosmetic and agrofood industries are proposed. A first set of studies of the properties of these extracts is available.

Microbial networks for sustainable aquacultureSeafood is a major source of nutrition for more than 1 billion people. Aquaculture has become an essential production method of seafood but is facing several challenges. Aquaculture contamination is a major limiting factor that impedes growth, reduces stocks, and requires additional costs for treatment and control of pathogens. Contamination control is particularly important in closed aquaculture systems on land. Conventional aquaculture management relies on drugs such as antibiotics and pesticides, and chemical sensors for nutrient monitoring. However, more sustainable options are actively being sought. Professor Toju and his team at Kyoto University developed a method of monitoring aquaculture microflora that provides useful information for optimizing seafood growth and preventing outbreaks of harmful bacteria. The technology has been tested in a recirculating aquaculture system of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) (Yajima et al. 2023).

Microbial networks for sustainable ecosystemsBackground Agroecosystems face multiple challenges worldwide. Agricultural lands are deteriorating, crops are exposed to extreme weather conditions, and new strains of pests resistant to chemical pesticides are emerging. In order to build sustainable agroecosystems, minimize devastating diseases, and maximize crop yield, understanding what drives ecosystem dynamics is of paramount importance so that the drivers can then be manipulated.

Microfluidic viscometer for the measurement of small-volume non-newtonian fluidsBackground The viscometer & rheometer market generated USD $683.0 million in 2017 and is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2017 to 2024. The viscometer market is valued at USD $483.0 million including different types of viscometers such as orifice, capillary, falling piston, rotational, falling ball, falling sphere, bubble, U-tube, inline, and vibrational viscometers. Inline process viscometer segment is expected to grow from USD$133 million in 2015 to USD $225 million in 2023 at 6.5% CAGR. The demand from petroleum, food, life science research and pharmaceutical industries is driving the market growth. For instance, the protein therapeutic market’s rapid growth has increased the demand for viscometers due to syringe-ability and because it is a relevant parameter for purification, fill/finish, and drug delivery. As viscosity is a key deciding factor in many diverse domains, there is a need for a device that can measure and analyze the viscosity with high precision and accuracy while requiring less sample volume (i.e., a few microliters).

Microgrid Connector Controller (MGC): an effective controllable grid interface for microgridsBackground As renewable (and usually distributed) energy sources are taking a strong foothold in the market, the interest in the integration of distributed power generation and microgrids into power grids has significantly increased. A microgrid can be a cluster of load/power generator units such as an industrial complex or an Electric Vehicle (EV)/public transportation depot and renewable energy power sources such as wind farms and solar PV. Connecting microgrids to power grids is important as the electric power must flow between the two to assure continuous, safe, and economic supply of electric energy to all loads/consumers. Existing solutions for connecting microgrids to grids, including Back-to-Back (B2B) interfaces, are bulky and costly with limitations on frequency control.
