Whitewater's New Innovation for Water Monitoring With Instant Contamination Detection
Whitewater Technology Group has introduced to the US market a monitoring system that uses non-pathogenic luminous marine bacteria as an early sensor. It provides real-time, online monitoring and can easily expand by just adding more monitoring units. This technology has already been verified by the EPA's ETV program. The bacteria works by when the water is contaminated, the bacterium reacts by reducing the amount of emitted light which generates an automated contamination alert. The biggest positive to this technology is that the bacteria responds directly and instantly to a wide range of dangerous contaminants. However, the system doesn't give specific information about the contaminant.
