The SubSea Quieter (SSQ) is a disruptive system for abating harmful underwater noise and turbidity pollution from human maritime activities. This system utilizes an innovative 3D membrane with a special coating layer, forming inflatable panels. It effectively attenuates sound through an impedance break between water and injected air. The SSQ Pile Driving Monopile is specifically designed for reducing noise during offshore wind turbine monopile installations, applicable to piles ranging from 6m to 12m in diameter and suitable for depths between 20m and 50m. The SSQ Pile Driving for coastal works addresses underwater noise from pile driving operations in coastal conditions, adaptable for 1m to 2.5m diameter piles and effective in challenging maritime environments. The SSQ Pile Driving for Offshore Jacket is used for noise reduction during pile driving operations with jacket templates, suitable for piles ranging from 2m to 4m in diameter. The SSQ Blue Shield is a curtain-like solution for zone containment in harbors and rivers, providing both turbidity control and noise mitigation. Additionally, Greenov develops other solutions for marine ecosystem protection, including the Anti-Collision Alliance and the ShareDetect web application for cetacean detection.TheSubSeaQuieter(SSQ)isadisruptivesystemforabatingharmfulunderwaternoiseandturbiditypollutionfromhumanmaritimeactivities.Thissystemutilizesaninnovative3Dmembranewithaspecialcoatinglayer,forminginflatablepanels.Iteffectivelyattenuatessoundthroughanimpedancebreakbetweenwaterandinjectedair.TheSSQPileDrivingMonopileisspecificallydesignedforreducingnoiseduringoffshorewindturbinemonopileinstallations,applicabletopilesrangingfrom6mto12mindiameterandsuitablefordepthsbetween20mand50m.TheSSQPileDrivingforcoastalworksaddressesunderwaternoisefrompiledrivingoperationsincoastalconditions,adaptablefor1mto2.5mdiameterpilesandeffectiveinchallengingmaritimeenvironments.TheSSQPileDrivingforOffshoreJacketisusedfornoisereductionduringpiledrivingoperationswithjackettemplates,suitableforpilesrangingfrom2mto4mindiameter.TheSSQBlueShieldisacurtain-likesolutionforzonecontainmentinharborsandrivers,providingbothturbiditycontrolandnoisemitigation.Additionally,Greenovdevelopsothersolutionsformarineecosystemprotection,includingtheAnti-CollisionAllianceandtheShareDetectwebapplicationforcetaceandetection.
The Innovation Lab is actively developing new CleanTech solutions such as the Blue Silencer, Approaching Vessel Warning Device for Cetaceans (AWACS), Reduction of Port Dredging Impact, and Acoustic Metamaterials. The Blue Silencer is a novel acoustic containment system for construction sites, utilizing a water-filled membrane for superior acoustic reduction. AWACS is an acoustic warning system placed under ship hulls to alert cetaceans of approaching vessels, optimized to minimize additional underwater noise. The system for reducing port dredging impact involves acoustic and luminous spotters aimed at decreasing accidental catches of fish and elvers during dredging operations. Acoustic Metamaterials research focuses on developing novel metamaterials for deep underwater applications, aiming to minimize the impact of floating wind farms and offshore activities, also applicable for noise abatement from operating wind turbines.TheInnovationLabisactivelydevelopingnewCleanTechsolutionssuchastheBlueSilencer,ApproachingVesselWarningDeviceforCetaceans(AWACS),ReductionofPortDredgingImpact,andAcousticMetamaterials.TheBlueSilencerisanovelacousticcontainmentsystemforconstructionsites,utilizingawater-filledmembraneforsuperioracousticreduction.AWACSisanacousticwarningsystemplacedundershiphullstoalertcetaceansofapproachingvessels,optimizedtominimizeadditionalunderwaternoise.Thesystemforreducingportdredgingimpactinvolvesacousticandluminousspottersaimedatdecreasingaccidentalcatchesoffishandelversduringdredgingoperations.AcousticMetamaterialsresearchfocusesondevelopingnovelmetamaterialsfordeepunderwaterapplications,aimingtominimizetheimpactoffloatingwindfarmsandoffshoreactivities,alsoapplicablefornoiseabatementfromoperatingwindturbines.
