WOLA has developed technologies based on specifically selected microorganisms – used as sensors – to analyze biological parameters of water quality such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), toxicity and quantification of microorganisms, with applications in the process of water quality monitoring, water treatment and re – use, waste water treatment plants (WWTP) functioning, polluting industries, fish farming, aquaculture and hydroponic systems and environmental control in rivers, lakes, wetlands and beaches.

These technologies offer the possibility of analysing and monitoring several “target” substances, achieving a drastic reduction in analysis time and cost compared with current existing market techniques.

These analysis are performed / taken in an automated way, without the need of human intervention.

MB-BOD

Automated device for analyse Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in 60 minutes. It allows monitoring of biodegradable organic matter in water.

POLITOX-RES

Automated “real time” monitoring of the overall toxicity presented in water in 90 minutes.

MICROBIAL COUNTER

Automated device for “online” monitoring of the concentration of total microorganisms in water samples in 15 minutes.

ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENTS DEVELOPED BY WOLA EUROPE S.L.

All the products commercialized by WOLA Europe has been independently PROVEN to fulfill all the criteria necessary for an accurate, efficient and automated biomonitor:

– ROBUST – Double self-calibration and robust operational design.
– SENSITIVE to a wide range of BOD values and variety of pollutants.
– RELIABLE automated function.
– SELF-CALIBRATION.
– Accurate REAL TIME information on water quality.
– EASY ANALYSIS of samples and subsequent data output.
– Proven INDUSTRIAL UTILITY
– LOW COST analysis.
– EASY HANDLING – Simple renewal of consumable liquids every 15 days
– Wireless ALARM SYSTEM.
– In case of alarm due to a high BOD or Toxicity values, the equipment takes a sample of the water and store it in a cold chamber in order to analyze and identify the substance that has activated the alarm system.
