The technology comprises an integrated passive acoustic monitoring system capable of long-term monitoring, capturing high-quality, distinctive sonar sounds from aquatic environments. The acoustic monitoring system, incorporating a hydrophone, a micro-processing board and a mechanical release system

The process consists of two continuous stages carried out under inert, vacuum conditions. In the first stage, cold feedstock is fed into a preheating vacuum oven for ex-situ desulphurization. It is heated to a controlled temperature for a set time to break sulphur–sulphur and sulphur–carbon bonds

The flotation device is an engineered support system designed to protect mobile structures from flood-related damage. Mobile structures such as temporary housing units, construction site offices, or warehouse equipment are highly vulnerable in flood-prone areas. This technology addresses that

Current Proton Exchange Membranes (PEMs), especially Nafion, are costly and produced mainly by a single international supplier (DuPont/Chemours). This monopoly escalates the cost of fuel cells and electrolyzers and limits local manufacturing capacity in South Africa. Because PEMs are the major
