To help protect the Great Barrier Reef, a research team led by the Sydney Institute of Marine Science and Southern Cross University has developed the innovative “Cloud Brightening” concept.

The idea behind it: Every second trillion of small salt crystals are collected from the seawater and then sprayed into the air by a turbine. The salt crystals then mix with low-lying clouds so the clouds become brighter and reflect more sunlight back into space, therefore shading the reef and cooling the seawater.

The Australian research team partnered with EmiControls who built a special turbine for this important Cloud Brightening project: the V22Cloud.

In our region, Tecpro Australia is the exclusive distributor for EmiControls. We proudly distribute their dust control, odour control and disinfection solutions. The V22Cloud is another example that demonstrates the versatility and power of this range.
