Automatic Biological Monitoring and Control: OSS Enables New Market Development

Overview Biotrace Ltd has applied Open Source Software (OSS) in its new generation Continuous Flow Luminometer to enable the remote monitoring and control of the biological activity in cooling water towers. At present a technician has to visit each site, take a sample, measure it and introduce a biocide to the water if the biological activity is too high. The improved system removes this operating cost, opens up a new market of over 45,000 cooling water towers in the UK alone, and will deliver a projected rate of return of 347%.
