Wastewater
- Overview
  
  Microbiology of Wastewater
  
  Modern wastewater treatment would not be possible without microorganisms. Wastewater treatment plants are gigantic microbiological power stations in which microorganisms play the main role, as they are responsible for the conversion of compounds and the degradation of pollutants.
- Biology of Wastewater
  
  Biocenosis as a Part of Process Analytics
  
  The integration of a direct systematic monitoring of the biocoenosis enables targeted action and provides information on the effectiveness of the implemented measures. However, the self-monitoring of most wastewater treatment plants focuses mainly on the discharge values and less on the underlying (micro)biological processes. This must change! You can find out why here.
- Our Mission
  
  Our Mission
  
  Advantage, safety, water quality, environmental protection - these are our guiding principles for modern wastewater management. Our mission: to establish sustainable biological wastewater treatment, which includes systematic and continuous data collection, evaluation and process optimization, taking into account the real biocoenosis.

  Prevention of Disturbances
  
  Learn how to successfully integrate the monitoring of (micro)biological processes into the operational analysis of the plant. The monitoring is designed modular and thus allows a flexible adaptation to the individual needs of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants.
- VIT® Vision Software
  
  The Software for the Biology of Wastewater
  
  With VIT® Vision the entire biology of the wastewater treatment plant can finally be captured and analyzed. The results can then be implemented in the operational control system in order to optimize operational safety.

  Case Studies
  
  The direct microbiology of vermicon is applied daily in many areas of the biological wastewater treatment.
- Technology
  
  Our Technology
  
  The VIT® gene probe technology is the only technology that allows highly specific visualization, identification and quantification of microorganisms directly in the wastewater sample.
