Drinking water is a sensitive resource, and its treatment and distribution are strictly controlled. Microbiological contamination is a particular focus in order to avoid health risks for consumers. A balance between consumer safety and the use of various cleaning and treatment stages is important here. With precise knowledge of the composition of the microbiome (fingerprint), as well as the exact number and viability of the microorganisms, the treatment can be designed to be effective, resource-saving, and safe at the same time. In the event of contamination, for example, due to external entry of microorganisms caused by rain events or damage in the network, time is critical. An increasing number of microorganisms or a changed microbiome must be detected as quickly as possible so that countermeasures can be taken early and effectively.
In drinking water treatment, companies face the same hurdles every day. Processes should run stably, contamination must be detected early, and microbiological safety must never be compromised. It is precisely at these points that the limitations of many classic methods become apparent today.
In daily water treatment, one thing counts above all: control. If processes run cleanly, the effort decreases, the quality increases, and faults are noticed early. This is exactly where the most important tasks begin.
We provide precise, rapid and reliable microbiological quality control for demanding applications.
Monitoring water treatment
Increasing the efficiency of water treatment
Network and system maintenance
Safe water quality for production and hygiene
With our flow cytometry solution, we offer the possibility to get to know your water more precisely. Within minutes, the precise number of all bacteria, their viability, and the individual composition – the fingerprint – are determined. With this expanded knowledge, treatment steps can be monitored, controlled, and economically optimized. Quickly and with a few simple steps.
Conventional microbiological methods (e.g. plating) require several days for evaluation, which means that valuable time is lost for countermeasures in the event of contamination or during water treatment. With Sysmex Partec, you receive the necessary results within 20 minutes.
