APLICATIONS
Ensuring water safety in strategic sectors
Water biosense® technology is implemented in key sectors where the microbiological quality of water is critical. Its real-time detection capability and straightforward integration with existing infrastructure make it a differentiating solution to:
Improve health and environmental safety.
Comply with demanding regulations.
Optimize water management and treatment.
Hospitals and healthcare settings
The quality of water in hospitals, health centers, and care homes directly affects environmental safety and the health of patients and staff. R 487/2022 regulates the requirements for preventing and controlling Legionella in at-risk installations, establishing rigorous obligations for continuous control and monitoring.
Common issues:
Proliferation of Legionella pneumophila in domestic hot-water systems
Elevated risk in critical areas such as clean rooms, ICUs, or wards with immunocompromised patients.
Failures in conventional control methods (manual sampling, low frequency, delayed results).
Water biosense® contribution
Automatic, continuous monitoring of water at critical points.
Integration with existing prevention plans.
Improved traceability and regulatory compliance
WWTPs, DWTPs and Other Water-Cycle Facilities
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and Drinking Water Treatment Plants (DWTPs) require constant control of microbiological parameters to guarantee process safety and efficiency.
Common issues:
Presence of pathogens after treatment.
Inefficiency or failure of disinfection processes
Reuse of water with health risk
Water biosense® contribution
Real-time detection of microbiological indicators such as
E. coli, coliforms, or Enterococcus spp
Improved quality control in regeneration, desalination, and distribution networks.
Immediate response capacity to deviations
Agroindustry and Irrigation Water
The use of reclaimed water in agricultural irrigation is increasingly widespread, but requires exhaustive microbiological controls to avoid risks in the food chain.
Common issues:
Contamination of fruit and vegetables through contact with non-potable water.
Transmission of bacteria such as
E. coli or Salmonella.
Loss of certifications and reputational damage
Water biosense® contribution
Rapid, automatic monitoring of irrigation water
Support for compliance with food-safety standards
Provides confidence and traceability for export and sales to major retailers.
Industrial Sector
The pharmaceutical, chemical, energy, and manufacturing industries depend on water as a critical resource.
Common issues:
Failures in processes sensitive to microbiological contamination.
Damage in cooling systems or cooling towers
Specific regulatory requirements for processes and discharges
Water biosense® contribution
Reduced downtime and production failures
Continuous control of microbiological parameters without the need for external analyses
Improved regulatory compliance and cost reduction
Priority Buildings (hotels, spas, care homes…)
Public-use facilities are subject to strict regulations against Legionella, such as RD 487/2022.
Common issues:
Cooling towers, accumulators, showers, spas, etc
Legal non-compliance with economic and reputational consequences
Water biosense® contribution
Early warning of Legionella presence
Automated compliance with the RD
Reinforcement of the prevention plan with real-time data
Natural, Tourist and Recreational Spaces
Beaches, harbors, reservoirs, water parks, or ornamental fountains are sensitive to contamination that can affect public health and the tourist experience.
Common issues:
Pollution from discharges or proliferation of microorganisms
Negative impact on the natural environment and tourism
Water biosense® contribution
Early detection of E. coli and other pathogens
Reinforcement of environmental management strategies and user confidence
Greater response capacity for public or private managers
