Online monitoring of microbial water quality in drinking water provides results in 15 minutes

WVMS GmbH’s ColiMinder is a fully automated, online analyser that provides precise measurements of bacterial contamination at every stage of the process of treating and distributing drinking water. Until now microbial contamination analysis, one of the most crucial water quality parameters, has taken up to 5 days before results have been confirmed using a long-winded laboratory method,

The ColiMinder is a process monitoring instrument that provides real-time monitoring of microbiological water quality for the first time ever. It can measure microbiological presence in all kinds of water and is ideal for use throughout the water treatment cycle. The ColiMinder is already widely used in the global drinking water industry so that the end-users’ treatment and distribution processes are constantly and precisely monitored to ensure that safe and clean drinking water is being provided as efficiently as possible. 

While this analyser does not replace the measurement methods required for compliance, it enables operators to optimise their process; this facilitates rest-assured water quality, savings in time and money and meeting the requisite local and international environmental standards.
