NerOcean conducted the 1st Field Test with AFCD NerOcean Limited is proud to announce the successful completion of the first field test of our innovative sensor technology for sustainable water quality monitoring and management. The test was conducted on the Agriculture, Fisheries, and Conservation Department’s (AFCD) water quality monitoring site located at Ma Nam Wat aquaculture zone. This field test marks a significant step forward in our mission to develop innovative solutions for sustainable water quality monitoring and management. The data collected by the sensor will be used to monitor water quality, detect any potential issues, and inform decision-making processes to protect and preserve Hong Kong’s natural resources. During the field test, AFCD’s staff demonstrated their expertise in water quality monitoring and management by cleaning their water quality probe and explaining their work to our team. We were impressed by their professionalism and their commitment to maintaining the highest standards of water quality for the aquaculture industry. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the AFCD and contribute to the protection and preservation of Hong Kong’s natural resources. This field test marks a significant step forward in our mission to develop innovative solutions for sustainable water quality monitoring and management. We would like to thank our team of experts, who have worked tirelessly to develop and optimize our sensor technology, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with the AFCD and other stakeholders to ensure the long-term sustainability of our water resources.

NerOcean Limited wins Silver Medal at the 48th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva We are thrilled to announce that NerOcean Limited has won a Silver Medal at the 48th International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland. This prestigious event showcases innovations and inventions from all over the world, and we are honored to have been recognized for our work in developing cost-effective solutions for water quality monitoring and management. Our winning project, “A new generation of dissolved oxygen sensor using replaceable photo-sensing film,” is a novel device that detects and keeps a permanent record of the dissolved oxygen (DO) level in a medium using replaceable photo-sensing film. This device is unaffected by biofouling, providing a cost-effective method of DO monitoring over large water bodies. We are proud of our team of inventors, including Prof. Rudolf WU Shiu Sun, Dr. Vincent KO Chi Chiu, Dr. Ron NG Chi On, Prof. Roy VELLAISAMY, and Dr. Jill CHIU Man Ying, whose hard work and innovative thinking led to this exciting achievement. Their solution can potentially revolutionize water quality monitoring and management and improve the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. At NerOcean, we are committed to promoting sustainable development and finding solutions to the challenges facing the aquaculture industry. This recognition is a testament to our dedication to driving positive change in the industry and developing innovative solutions to help protect our oceans and water resources. winning the Silver Medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva is a significant milestone for our company, and we are excited about the potential impact of our dissolved oxygen sensors in the industry.
