Revolution in water treatment
Land Unit
10-foot container with pumps for water treatment
In situ-unit
Bubble generation unit for minimally invasive application directly in the water
Skimmer

Retrofit. Modular. Scalable.
We develop and scale innovative technologies to remove microplastics and micropollutants from contaminated water worldwide. Our microflotation system is already being used to sustainably reduce filterable substances (TSS63), microplastics and micropollutants!
A global problem
Since 1950, over 10.9 million tons of plastics have been produced worldwide, of which around 21 millions tons end up in our oceans every year. Since plastics is not biodegradable, it breaks down into smaller particles (< 5mm) – microplastics or secondary microplastics. In addition, primary microplastics are released directly into the environment through tire abrasion, textile fibers or industrial products.
One of the largest sources of microplastics is tire abrasion, which accounts for about one-third of the microplastics in the oceans. These particles enter our waters via rainfall. Microplastic particles bind persistent pollutants that enter the environment via wastewater, agriculture, and industrial activities. Even in the smallest quantities, they disrupt aquatic ecosystems and can cause health risks for humans and animals.
Our goal: to detect microplastics and pollutants at an early stage, remove them effectively, and thus ensure the long-term protection of our waters.
What is in our waters?
Microplastics
Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm in size. Primary microplastics are specifically manufactured in this form, while secondary microplastics are created when larger plastic items break down.
Micropollutants
Micro-pollutants are chemical compounds that are difficult to break down, such as PFAS, pesticides or pharmaceutical residues. They enter water bodies via households, agriculture and industry and are harmful even in low concentrations.
Filtrable substances
Filtrable substances include fine particles such as clay or fine dust, to which pollutants can adhere. This also includes the TSS63 particle group, which comprises particles from sand, leaves, or road abrasion and is smaller than 63 µm.
Our areas of activity
Identify
We identify your challenges in order to detect sources of microplastics and micropollutants and make them visible with the help of our monitoring. This enables us to create a basis for targeted measures to clean up water bodies.
ANALYZE
We analyse microplastics and micropollutants precisely, quickly and reliably. Our analyses provide scalable data to make pollution visible and derive effective strategies.
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.
Be part of the solution – join us now in creating a future without microplastics and micropollutants!
