A powerful combination of real-time water quality monitoring and user-friendly cloud software.
How it works
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
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 alage trends
- Predict algae counts
- Set custom alerts
- View data in charts, tables, and spreadsheets on your personal webpage
- Applications
- Installation
- Maintenance
Applied across industries
Cost-effective water quality monitoring and early warning system for algal blooms. Suitable for:
- Raw/industrial/irrigation reservoirs
- Lakes
- Dams
- Cooling ponds and towers
- Aquaculture ponds
- Wastewater treatment plants
- Power plants
- Settling ponds
- Crystal- and wastewater lagoons

Fast & easy deployment
The 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.

Minimal maintenance
Our water quality sensors are equipped with an automatic cleaning system. This requires minimal effort on your part, and guarantees accurate sensor readings.

View your water quality data anytime
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.
