Laboratory software for environmental applications

When it comes to environmental protection, not only the effectiveness of the strategies employed but also the timeliness of the measures taken plays a significant role. The example of water monitoring with ENMO®hydroillustrates why environmental monitoring consistently presents a unique yet surmountable challenge.

Key concepts: Continuity and automation

Typically, laboratory sample analyses involve screening for specific, predefined substances. To identify the causes of water pollution in a timely manner and take the necessary measures, reference values based on pollutant discharge are required. A higher density of data—which can only be achieved through continuous monitoring—enables the identification of trends regarding various parameters.

This is where ENMO®hydro comes in, using emission-based alarm thresholds. In the event of pollutant emissions—for example, at a mobile sampling station—the program immediately notifies the responsible staff or authorities of any detected exceedances of limit values via its automated notification system.
