Water is a critical resource. The quality of water needs to be monitored and controlled continuously, whether it be drinking water production followed by distribution to the consumer, wastewater treatment, the ecological quality of natural waters or industrial processes.

In all its activities, Benten proceeds from its vision that water quality monitoring is not a goal in itself, but a means to an end. Effective water quality monitoring can improve the sustainability of water treatment processes by minimising chemical use and energy consumption. New developments such as smart grid monitoring and big data analysis allow for a more holistic approach towards water quality monitoring, thus minimising public and ecological health risks as a result of e.g. drinking water contamination or wastewater discharges into surface waters.

Our mission is to improve the overall process of water quality monitoring by optimising the application of currently available monitoring technologies, and by stimulating the development of new ones.
