bNovate Technologies Partners With ProDetec To Enhance Water Quality Monitoring In Australia And New Zealand

bNovate Technologies SA, a Swiss leader in innovative microbiological water monitoring solutions, is partnering with ProDetec, a prominent water analysis and monitoring solution provider in Australia and New Zealand. This distribution agreement marks a significant milestone in bNovate’s expansion efforts across the Oceania region.

“Collaborating with ProDetec represents an exciting opportunity for bNovate Technologies as we expand our footprint in Australia and New Zealand,” said Julian Lowe, Head of Global Sales, bNovate Technologies. “ProDetec’s expertise and commitment to delivering innovative field devices and control equipment make them the ideal partner for introducing our advanced water quality monitoring technologies to this market. Together, we are advancing water safety and ensuring communities receive timely and reliable insights into water quality.”

Tackling Water Quality Challenges
Australia and New Zealand are grappling with significant industrial water challenges that threaten the quality and safety of water supplies. Climate change, agricultural runoff, and urbanisation exacerbate these issues, leading to increased contamination and inconsistent access to clean water. Both countries frequently experience extreme weather conditions, including droughts and flooding, further complicating water management efforts.

Anthony Barakat, Operations Manager at ProDetec, added,” This collaboration highlights our commitment to providing the highest-quality solutions to our clients. bNovate’s real-time microbial monitoring systems will empower industries and municipalities to address water quality challenges more effectively, ensuring safer water for communities and industries alike.”

Advanced monitoring solutions are essential for detecting contaminants in real-time, ensuring compliance with health regulations, and protecting public health. As industries strive to meet growing demands while maintaining water quality, adopting innovative monitoring technologies will be crucial to addressing these ongoing challenges and safeguarding water resources for future generations.

Serge Gander, CEO of bNovate, commented: “This partnership further expands our presence in Asia-Pacific and Oceania where water utilities and industries will benefit from our water monitoring Bactosense solution. Climate change is happening now, and we have the tools to be proactive rather than reactive. The best approach to a better future is to stay at the forefront of any challenge, and by facing it together, we can make a bigger impact.”
