ANDalyze
Its technology and sensor kits can detect both trace metals
(lead, uranium,
copper and mercury) and other chemicals. ANDalyze
sensor/Fluorimeter is
platform solution for simplifying the on-site testing and
analysis of water
for heavy metal contamination is now being sold in China and
Australia as a
replacement to more time consuming testing methods such as
electrochemical and reagent testing methods that require
significant
training. This new product requires no special knowledge of
chemistry, and
produces no hazardous chemical waste and shows test results in
less than
one minute, greatly reducing operational testing time and cost
for the water
industry.
This would be relevant in the Indian context as water tests are
quite an
expensive and time consuming affair. Water at many regions in
India has
high heavy metal content which existing systems are unable to
detect. Thus
this online water testing system would be very advantageous in
order to
monitor the water quality output.
Alvim Srl
With entrepreneurial roots in Italy, the company is developing
approaches
for biofouling and biofilm monitoring the detection of
microorganisms
that can grown on pipelines, tanks, heat exchangers and other
equipment in
treatment plants. It is positioned as a services company that
can warn
operators when biocide levels reach above safety levels.
With respect to commercialization a number of companies such as
Danone,
Laborelec, Borman have implemented their technologies.
With respect to India there are a number of areas where this can
be used
especially in storage tanks of community water treatment plants
where the
water collects after treatment and bio-fouling is suspected.
