Nanodroplet microfludic approach for DropletSens™ platform - compact liquid reagent based sensors. Why phosphate? Phosphate is monitored in the water network and watercourses to better understand and reduce the environmental impact caused by sewage treatment outflows, storm overflows and agricultural run-offs, which can result in excessive algal growth and fish deaths. This pollution data can be used to guide investment decisions, monitor effectiveness of remedial measures such as wetlands, and support nutrient-trading schemes to unlock housing developments. Apart from the dissolved ‘reactive phosphorus’ or ‘ortho-phosphate’ which DropletSens™ measures colorimetrically, there is also suspended or bound phosphorus, with all phosphorus compounds together adding up to ‘Total Phosphorus’ or ‘Total-P’. At present there are no electrochemical or spectral approaches that can measure ortho-phosphate. Phosphate discharge limits are in place in most countries to protect the receiving ecosystems. Increasing focus is also placed on Phosphorus recovery, as it is a limited resource and required for fertilizer production. Monitoring Solutions We offer the following solutions for monitoring phosphate: A. SWS turn-key solution: fully autonomous SWS sensor probes with own battery, connectivity and user interface: B. Third party static, floatable & moveable integrated solutions. B1. SWS sensor probes integrated into WATR's hybrid bankside installations B2. SWS sensor probes mounted onto WATR's Pro 2.0 floatable platform B3. SWS sensor probes mounted onto CCI's WADR moveable platform - coming soon - notify me Case Studies Environmental Monitoring of tidal river Itchen (Southampton, UK) Monitoring agricultural nutrient run-off to protect Ebro River Estuary (Ballobar, Spain) Effluent Monitoring in large wastewater treatment plant (Wiesbaden, Germany) Final Effluent Monitoring in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (Norfolk, England)
