LimCo International for clean water, intact nature, and healthy people
Clean drinking water is a human right, and clean bodies of water are essential for intact aquatic ecosystems. LimCo International offers innovative smart solutions for real-time monitoring of water quality in drinking water, bodies of water, wastewater, and groundwater.
Intact nature is the foundation for maintaining biodiversity, various ecosystem services, and as an absolute reference. Pristine, intact nature is becoming increasingly rare, and LimCo International is committed to preserving or restoring it.
Human health fundamentally depends on clean and intact nature and the environment, as we are a part of it. Biophilia, mindfulness, and nature experiences are important for our mental and physical health. LimCo International is committed to this.

Innovative real-time monitoring systems for water quality control
Water is one of the most controlled resource in the world. However, toxic substances end up in the water and cause severe deterioration of water quality. As company or authority in the water sector water quality is crucial for your business success and achievement of your goals. Therefore, continuous control of water quality is most important for you.
Based on scientific research LimCo International has been developing innovative toximeters since 1994 and offers you highly sensitive online biomonitors to permanently survey your water quality in real time. In wastewater treatment plants, authorities, agencies, companies, industries, fish farms, aquacultures, hydro dams, drinking water industry, our real-time impedance based online biomonitors record water quality in both freshwater and seawater, as well as in soil and sediments.
Sustainable and environmentally conscious handling with water
LimCo International GmbH works for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly and resource-conscious handling with water. Therefore, we advise companies, industries, scientists, authorities, agencies and citizens. We analyze drinking water, waste water, rivers and lakes. We continuously perform research in water-related hot topics in the field of aquatic ecology, ecotoxicology, biotechnology, biology and environmental sciences.
In order to leave efficient waste water treatment technologies and intact aquatic ecosystems to our next generations and to minimize adverse effects of climate change on water quantity and quality, LimCo International GmbH supports the goals of the UN-Decade “water for sustainable development” (2018-2028). Moreover, we plead for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Water Development Report “Nature-based solutions for water” (2018) and the guidelines of the European legislation for water (e.g. WFD).
