infrastructure and industry research (SIIR) group in the Department of Engineering at Manchester Metropolitan University. He said, “It was a great pleasure working with Aquacheck Engineering and Dario to complete his PhD programme.
“Outputs from Dario’s doctorate research are a good addition to the successes already recorded in our joint KTP project with Aquacheck. It demonstrates that research and commercialisation are two sides of the same coin. Congratulations Dario and Aquacheck!”
Paul Carrington, managing director of Aquacheck Engineering said, “I couldn’t be more proud that Dario has completed his doctorate at Aquacheck. He has worked tremendously hard both on his research and on development of the Smart Standpipe.
“The experience of working with Dario, along with Professor Adebisi and the engineering department at Manchester Met, and the Innovate UK KTN, has pushed Aquacheck to a new level of innovation. We are now combining our specialist engineering skills with a much broader range of knowledge and expertise to develop even more transformational technologies for the global water sector and other markets.”
KTPs aim to help businesses improve their competitiveness and productivity through the better use of knowledge, technology and skills within the UK

knowledge base. The project was Government-funded by UK Research & Innovation through Innovate UK.
Ceri Carr, KTP manager at Manchester Metropolitan University said, “Many congratulations to Dario on his graduation, he couldn’t deserve it more. The partnership with Aquacheck and the Knowledge Transfer Network has been a very positive experience for the University.
“For me one of the highlights was winning the Innovate UK KTN’s Best of the Best Award for the Smart Standpipe technology. This was a first for Manchester Met and we were up against some very tough competition.
“As an institution, we’ve developed a | October 2023 |

much better understanding of water sector challenges, and through introductions from Paul and Dario, our industry networks have strengthened and grown, and we’ve discovered many more partnership opportunities. I have every expectation that we will continue working together on a wide range of innovative ideas.”
Paul Carrington is already building on the successful KTP, with Aquatech taking on a new doctoral candidate from Manchester Met.
“Our PhD programme is continuing,” he says, “and we are now sponsoring Jessica Pimlott, a specialist in electrochemistry, to help develop our in-field sensors for lead detection.”
