Microplastic Analytics: Precise, Fast, and Cost-Effective

The innovative solution for continuous microplastic monitoring in municipal & industrial wastewater and water bodies

The Challenge: Flying Blind with Microplastics

Conventional microplastic detection methods are complex, time-consuming, and expensive. They are primarily used in research and are not suitable for continuous monitoring or large-scale applications. The consequence: A lack of data on actual microplastic pollution in our waters and treatment processes.

The Solution: Wasser 3.0 detect

Wasser 3.0 detect ends the "flying blind" mode with a standardized, fast, and cost-efficient method. Our patented fluorescence markers enable continuous monitoring of microplastic pollution for the first time.

Your Advantages at a Glance

  • Fast: Results in record time instead of waiting weeks
  • Cost-Effective: Up to 90% cheaper than conventional analysis methods
  • Comparable: Standardized procedure for reliable, reproducible data
  • Scientifically Validated: Over 700 samples in wastewater treatment plant effluent and 500+ sample points in water body monitoring
  • Flexible Deployment: For municipal & industrial wastewater as well as water body monitoring

Innovative Technology: How it Works

1. Patented Fluorescence Markers

Our specially developed fluorescence markers are added to the water sample and selectively stain microplastic particles. The result: Strong fluorescence in synthetic particles, negligible or no signal in natural particles.

2. Automated Evaluation

Fluorescence images are automatically evaluated to precisely determine the number of microplastic particles. The software counts luminous particles and provides reliable measurement results.

3. Standardized Sampling with PSU

The Particle Sampling Unit (PSU) enables comparable sampling of large volumes (0.1 m³ – 10 m³) from wastewater treatment plants and water bodies. Small, mobile, and practicle for maximum flexibility.

Areas of Application

  • Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants: Monitoring microplastic removal and process optimization
  • Industrial Wastewater: Quality control and compliance verification
  • Water Body Monitoring: Recording microplastic pollution in rivers, lakes, and oceans
  • Educational Institutions: Practical environmental education and scientific projects
  • Research & Development: Validation of new treatment technologies

EU Pellet Loss Regulation

The EU is getting serious about microplastics: with the new Pellet Loss Regulation, binding standards are being introduced for the first time. Up to 74% fewer pellet losses are possible – but science also reveals critical gaps. A game changer or does it only look good on paper?
