  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.
- Our Services
  
  Prevention of Disturbances
  
  Learn how to successfully integrate the monitoring of microbiological 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.
- Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
  
  Epidemiological Wastewater Monitoring
  
  We are your point of contact for the implementation, execution, and evaluation of wastewater monitoring for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, RSV, and other relevant pathogens. Reliable, robust RT-qPCR analysis and certified sampling. Dashboard with infection trends and incidence rates.
- 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.
