Electronic touch-free automatic faucets can flush water outlets without the need to open the tap manually. They are particularly suitable for buildings with individual, infrequently used water points or periods of low usage, such as schools, hospitals, and office buildings.

Animal disease control plays an important role in the prevention of animal diseases. This refers to the intermediate space between the outer door and the animal shelter. In this space, shoes and protective clothing are changed so that pathogens from outside are not carried into the animal housing on equipment. On the other hand, the purpose of the disease barrier is also to prevent the spread of disease from one farm to another by visitors.

Climate change not only threatens dry and warm regions, but also affects Finland's water resources. In Satakunta, these challenges are being addressed by the Vesivara project, which is developing new operating models and technological solutions to secure clean drinking water.

At first glance, one might think that solar panels cannot be installed on farmland without significantly impacting agricultural production. However, this is precisely the idea behind the Agri-PV method (also known as Agrivoltaics, Agriphotovoltaics or APV), and panels can also be beneficial for plants and grazing animals.
Did you know? Agricultural land can also be dual-used for solar energy production Read More »
On August 20, Research Center WANDER celebrated its 20th anniversary with a seminar titled “Pintaa syvemmälle – veden, sisätilan ja kasvun tutkimusmatka”. The event brought together experts and partners in the field at SAMK's Rauma campus in Merimäki and via Teams across Finland.
The use of oxygen nanobubbles in irrigation water opens up new opportunities for agriculture, offering significant benefits in terms of both increasing yields and improving the sustainability of farming. This innovative technology not only improves plant health and nutrient uptake, but can also lead to record yields and cost savings.
The completed NABLE - Enhancing Agricultural Production with Nanobubbles project aimed to increase the productivity, efficiency and sustainability of primary agricultural production by injecting nano-sized oxygen gas bubbles into irrigation water. The completed video gives a comprehensive presentation of the different phases of the project and the impact of nanobubble technology from the perspective of the different partners.

Far-UV light has been shown to be effective in the fight against pathogens. Several studies showed that the use of Far-UV light can significantly reduce the number of microbes in a short exposure time.
Legionella bacteria are found in small quantities in fresh natural waters and soil. Small amounts of legionella bacteria can enter water systems in buildings with raw water and, under favourable conditions, can form colonies on biofilms on the inside of pipes.
Noora Salonen, an expert who has been working at the WANDER research centre since 2018, received her doctorate in technology from Aalto University in December. She wrote a dissertation in biotechnology entitled "Recombinant protein yield in Lactococcus lactis - application to D-tagatose yield."
