microLAN has developed a full range of fully automated online monitoring devices for guarding the quality of drinking, surface and process waters.
microLAN now supplies three complementary systems that detect Algae, Bacteria and Chemical-Toxicity pollutions.
microLAN’s online monitors instantly response to a change in water quality, giving an alarm signal to indicate a possible water pollution.

The devices are in use by water utilities and industries all around the world that take in surface water and want to monitor the water quality in the production and throughout the distribution network.

visible for fluorescence detection.
