Wastewater monitoring for microbiological contamination

Surveillance of microbiological contamination and stricter disinfection have been on the agenda of major plant operators

Wastewater surveillance for COVID-19 in a treatment plant

Staying vigilant means looking out for possible dangers before they occur. Therefore, the European Commission strongly encourages Member States to implement wastewater sampling and testing in large cities by 1 October 2021, to monitor the presence of pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus). Help manage viral outbreaks proactively through early detection of microbiological contamination with real-time PCR technology and real-time disinfection monitoring using our sensor and solution portfolio.

Meeting the challenges of COVID-19

To keep a closer tab on pathogenic transmission, the European Commission recommends that from 1 October 2021, Member States of the European Union establish a wastewater surveillance system to provide data on pandemic viral strains in wastewater, such as for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. This monitoring system should cover large cities with populations over 150000, preferably with a sampling frequency of at least two samples per week.

Monitoring municipal wastewater for pathogens

Wastewater samples at the inlet of a treatment plant are often collected manually and analyzed for biological parameters that can impact public health. These samples are taken from various locations and analyzed over a period of time to enable plant operators and research institutes to map the prevalence of pathogenic contaminants such as viruses more objectively. The data serves as an early warning detection of the spread of pathogens. However, this increases time and operational resources

Our expertise in the field

Taking samples of wastewater can now be automated with our sophisticated samplers which can be placed in various outdoor locations. Wireless data transmission capabilities ensure efficiency in collecting the sample bottles. With its quick cooling time, the biological integrity is preserved ensuring reliability of readings in the laboratory where real-time PCR technology is carried out. Real-time monitoring of disinfection at the outlet of plants is necessary to ensure safe discharge.
