Proposal for Integrated Solar Conversion and Storage Materials for Mobile BESS Applications

1. Executive Summary

Oreconnect Projects is an SMME based in Postmasburg, Northern Cape, specializing in the deployment of Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We bridge the gap between fixed energy infrastructure and the immediate, high-capacity power needs of the mining, industrial, and...

Microbially Produced Bio-Surfactants

Surfactants are amphipathic molecules with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties that partition preferentially at the interface between fluid phases, such as oil/water or air/water interfaces. Such characteristics confer excellent detergency, emulsifying, foaming, and dispersing traits, which...

Method for Plasmid DNA-Based Rescue of AHSV

Plasmid DNA-based Rescue of Orbiviruses (African Horse Sickness) refers to a reverse genetics approach that enables scientists to generate infectious orbiviruses entirely from cloned DNA. In this system, the segmented RNA genome of the African horse sickness virus (AHSV), a member of the Reoviridae...
