Whiskey's GOOD for the Environment!

Knock back some to celebrate!

A by-product from whisky is being used by researchers in a bid to clean contaminated ground and waste water.

The team at the University of Aberdeen believe they have a new technique, potentially worth millions of pounds.

They say the Device for the Remediation and Attenuation of Multiple pollutants (Dram) has major potential in industry.

The Glenfiddich distillery in Speyside has helped researchers get to this stage by donating the by-product, the nature of which is being kept secret.

Yeehaw!

Oh, my. I had no idea the Patriot thing was an acronym.

I bet the by-product is spent mash grains. Probably as a filter of some sort. The pH would have an effect on polluted water as well.

Well obviously it is. Whiskey has inspired me to water the plants of some random stranger many a time.

Neither did I. That’s terrible. I need scotch.

How about Proton Enhanced Nuclear Induction Spectroscopy

or

Spin Echo Correlated Spectroscopy

NMR acronyms are a bit notorious though.
