Applications
-
Environmental
Water, the lifeblood of our planet, requires vigilant protection. The challenge lies in the complexity of monitoring diverse aquatic environments - from small waterways to the vastness of the oceans. What's more, extreme environmental conditions and lack of infrastructure make the task impossible or very costly. That's where advanced technology plays a key role, providing innovative, automated and IoT-connected solutions. These tools provide continuous, accurate data that drives timely and effective strategies to study and protect our waters.
-
Recreational Water
Natural waters can be a hub for fun, recreation and sports. Ensuring their safety is critical, as microbial contaminants can pose serious public health risks. Traditional water testing methods often struggle to provide timely and continuous monitoring. Implementing advanced, automated technology not only enhances monitoring programs, but also helps to identify and mitigate potential hazards in a timely manner, ensuring that our recreational waters remain safe and enjoyable for all.
-
Drinking Water
Access to drinking water is a major global issue, supported by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Providing safe drinking water involves a number of steps - collection from groundwater, surface water or recycled sources, treatment and disinfection, storage and distribution. This task is fraught with challenges, especially the need to comply with stringent regulations and the inherent complexity of water treatment processes. New-age automated monitoring technologies are helping to ensure water safety, facilitating real-time analysis and improving decision-making.
-
Wastewater
Wastewater management, which includes the collection, treatment, and reuse of wastewater, plays an essential role in protecting public health and reducing the risks of pollution and flooding. Wastewater can be of domestic, industrial or agricultural origin and is typically treated in wastewater treatment plants. However, the challenges posed by aging infrastructure, urban population growth and climate change have a direct impact on the efficiency of these processes. It is becoming essential to integrate continuous monitoring within and downstream of treatment plants in order to assess treatment efficiency, optimize processes and ensure total compliance.

Oceanography
Oceanography is the study of the oceans, their physical properties, chemical composition, biological life, and geological makeup. It is a vast and complex field of study, and it is essential to our understanding of the Earth system and its climate. It helps us to understand how the oceans interact with the atmosphere, how they regulate the Earth's temperature, and how they are affected by climate change. To effectively navigate this vast field, researchers rely on advanced instrumentation. This instrumentation allows them to conduct detailed microbiological analysis, precise sampling, and thorough ecosystem mapping. From the shimmering coastal areas to the mysterious oceanic depths, having the right tools is essential to unraveling the many layers of our oceans and ensuring a full understanding of their ever-evolving dynamics.
