Analyze
We analyse mircoplastic fast and precisely!
In our in-house analytical laboratory with certified clean rooms in ISO classes 7 and 8, we analyse microplastic and pollutant samples with precision. The cutting-edge technology we use enables low-contamination testing and reliable results, even with complex samples. This includes matrix-adapted sampling, sample preparation and the selection of precisely tailored analytical methods.
Using a variety of analytical methods and in-depth expertise, we determine the composition, potential sources and concentration of microplastics in various waters. Our analyses form a basis and thus create the prerequisites for root cause analyses, pollution assessments and impact-oriented measures in water protection.

KARL – Municipal Wastewater Directive
A milestone for water protection!
The amendment to the EU Municipal Wastewater Directive, or KARL for short, which was passed in April 2024, is a milestone for European water protection and at the same time brings with it new legal requirements. Municipalities, sewage treatment plant operators, companies are faced with the task of recording, documenting, and reducing pollutants, especially microplastics, in the future.
With our in-house expertise, we provide support in the form of precise analysis, scientific know-how, and practical advice for implementing the monitoring of substance loads, pollutants, and microplastics required by the Municipal Wastewater Directive. In this way, we help to meet legal requirements and develop sustainable solutions.
What does KARL mean?
Legal requirements
The new Municipal Wastewater Directive, sets clear requirements for monitoring and reduction of pollutants, nutrients, and microplastics in wastewater.
Reliability
Reliable analytics and robust procedures ensure compliance with the directive and build trust among authorities and operators.
Municipal wastewater treatment
Local authorities are faced with the task of adapting existing wastewater treatment to the new requirements while ensuring sustainable operation.
Solutions
Innovative technologies offer practical ways to effectively reduce pollutant and microplastic inputs.
Other applications
Identify
We identify your challenges in order to detect sources of microplastics and micropollutants and make them visible with the help of our monitoring.
Eliminate
With our microflotation, we eliminate microplastics and micropollutants from surface water and wastewater. This permanently removes pollutants and particles and ensures sustainable protection for our waters.
We help you reliably detect microplastics and micropollutants! Reliable analysis from sampling to evaluation!
