NERCscience | Innovating Environmental Monitoring: How Manchester Researchers are Creating #CleanerWater & Jobs @NERCscience | Uploaded February 2015 | Updated October 2024, 57 minutes ago.
Dr Stephen Boult and his team at the University of Manchester developed new instruments for monitoring water and #gasquality in the environment.
Spin-out company Salamander licensed the products to Siemens and Ion Science, who between them have generated royalties equivalent to £7m in sales over the past five years. Since its launch, Salamander has employed 14 University of Manchester graduates, as well as generating further jobs and investment elsewhere both in the UK and internationally.
Their water products, now recommended by the regulator, are used by all major UK #waterservice providers, and their gas product is stimulating growth in the market for monitoring #greenhousegases from #fossilfuel extraction, such as shale gas and coal-bed methane.
Stephen won the award for best Economic Impact at the inaugural NERC impact awards. This category recognises research that has achieved exceptional economic benefit.
