ReOnSenSys

The ThWIC project ReOnSenSys aims to enable continuous, real-time monitoring of water quality directly on site.

Assessing the level of water pollution is essential for initiating appropriate treatment measures, particularly in wastewater management. Parameters such as chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nitrate concentration provide valuable information about water quality and pollution levels. They can be used to evaluate water quality, detect pollution trends at an early stage and improve the monitoring of discharges into water bodies.

ReOnSenSys builds on the results of the ThWIC project KontiMonit, which was carried out during the first funding phase. The electrochemical sensor technology developed in that project for measuring water quality parameters will be further advanced and transformed into a versatile system for continuous environmental monitoring.

A key focus of the project is the development of robust methods for sample preparation and stabilisation, as well as the investigation of measurement signal stability during long-term operation. To ensure reliable performance under real-world conditions, the sensor system will be tested over extended periods in practical applications, including different industrial and municipal wastewater streams with varying compositions.

By enabling continuous and reliable water quality monitoring, ReOnSenSys contributes to more efficient water management and the long-term protection of aquatic ecosystems.
