AQUA-REUSE | ReAl-time online QUality Assurance for REUSE of water

Summary
Water is needed in everything we do in our daily lives from personal use through to production of almost all goods. Water sources are a critical infrastructure and must be maintained and monitored as any negative change in quality can cause dramatic effects.
Water born contamination in drinking, source and recycled water is a serious threat to water infrastructure, consumers, and for industrial process water.
Lack of early detection and warning coupled with random sampling amplifies the unpredicted danger of contamination from bacteria like E. coli and parasites like Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
Contaminated water is a significant threat to industries that depend on use of water in their process and product.
Aqua-Q are an innovative Swedish SME at the forefront of the industry with a core mission of early detection of microbiological contamination in drinking, source and waste water for reuse. We have received the World’s most prestigious environmental National Energy Globe Award 2017 for the outstanding innovative achievement on real-time optical monitoring & sampling solution for quality control of drinking water & water for reuse.
Aqua-Q have designed and created an innovative technological solution AQUATRACK™ for use in water treatment plants and water distribution infrastructure. Our Early Warning System AQUATRACK® is a one of a kind solution. It is a real-time, online early warning system for the monitoring of water quality 24/7. The system is designed to trigger a series of events when a deviation in the baseline ‘fingerprint’ of the water source is detected. Other solutions claiming to be ‘real-time‘ are only triggered by elapsed-time – whereas AQUATRACK® is triggered by exceptional events and can respond with appropriate action within seconds, this can save valuable and critical time when a contamination is detected.
Through commercialisation of AQUATRACK® with our defined early routes to market, we will achieve an ROI of 604% on our 5-yr profits.
