ToxProtect II
Rapid and
reliable detection of toxins in the water supply
The bbe ToxProtect II is a fully automatic monitoring system to protect drinking
water supplies from unintentional or intentional contamination by toxins.
The characteristics of such threats are suddenly occurring, high concentrations
of hazardous substances. Changes in water quality must be detected
quickly and safely. One of the best organisms for this purpose is fish, which
are kept in the flow-through aquarium of the ToxProtect II. The aquarium of
the ToxProtect II is equipped with light barriers to measure the activity of the
fish, thus determining their swimming behaviour by calculating the number
of times they swim between the light sensors. This information is used to analyse
their health status and therefore the water quality. If the behaviour of the
fish changes due to contamination of the water, the instrument triggers an
alarm. Error alarms in the ToxProtect II are reduced to an absolute minimum.
This improves the confidence of operators and avoids unnecessary tasks.
