How it works

1. Monitor water quality

The Monitoring Buoy offers a complete overview of the water quality by collecting the following parameters every 10 minutes:

• Chlorophyll α (green algae)
• Phycocyanin (blue-green algae)
• pH
• Turbidity
• Dissolved oxygen
• Temperature

*Additional sensors can be purchased separately

2. Predict algal blooms

The algorithm developed in cooperation with research institutes allows you to predict algal blooms 3-10 days in advance. Plus, you gain other valuable insights:

• Seasonal algae trends
• Predict algae counts
• Set custom alerts
• View data in charts, tables, and spreadsheets
• Personal webpage

Quickly deployed

The Monitoring Buoy can be assembled on-shore within 2-4 hours and requires minimal manpower. Can be dragged by boat and easily anchored in the desired location due to GPS integration.

Monitoring Buoy can be installed in raw, industrial, and irrigation reservoirs, lakes, dams, cooling ponds and towers, aquaculture ponds, wastewater treatment plants, power plants, settling ponds, crystal- and wastewater lagoons.

Minimal maintenance

Maintenance is only needed every quarter. There is no need to bring the Monitoring Buoy back to shore.

All components are reachable by boat, ensuring the safety of your staff.

Automatic cleaning system guarantees optimal sensor readings, significantly reducing maintenance time, costs, and labor

Remotely operated

Our dedicated Customer Support monitors and operates the Monitoring Buoy remotely.

The buoy is resistant to extreme heat, and cold temperatures, even at high altitudes or in desert conditions. There is no need to take the buoy out during wintertime.

Water quality monitoring software

Once you purchase the Monitoring Buoy, you get access to the MPC-View, our online water quality monitoring software. Designed to be user-friendly. Provides a complete picture of your water body at every monitored location.

With the MPC-View, you gain valuable real-time insights into water quality, algae growth trends, and treatment progress. You can create specific rules that will trigger an email alert when pre-determined parameters are breached.
