Project description
Real-time groundwater flow-and-flux sensing probe supports water management and safety
Groundwater pollution is increasing at the same time that water resources are becoming scarcer. Monitoring groundwater dynamics – including flow rates and the flow per unit area as well as the pollutants in the groundwater – can enhance water management and safety. The Belgian SME iFLUX has developed and successfully commercialised a passive flux sampler to monitor 127 types of pollutants in the ground(water) and determine their impact. The EU-funded iFLUX project will enable the company to develop a scalable and highly accurate real-time groundwater flow-and-flux sensing probe to enhance understanding of the temporal and spatial dynamics of water in permeable rock.
Objective
iFLUX mission is to make groundwater visible! We have raised 1.36 million in equity & 1,185k through straight & convertible loans. With revenues from our developed paid projects, we brought our first product into the market: a passive flux sampler to measure & monitor 127 types of pollutants in the ground(water) and determine their impact. Today, our sampling technology has been used by 100+ customers across the EU and generated revenues 750k+. These customers include companies such as DOW, Total, ERM & Arcadis. A scalable real-time groundwater flow & flux sensing probe is our urgent development pipeline because monitoring groundwater dynamics is complex and requires highly accurate & real-time data to create a better understanding of aquifer behavior over time and spatially. With our sensing probe, we will be the next generation water monitoring solution by visualizing and integrating the dynamics of groundwater and its pollution.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
