Real-time data. Regulatory compliance. Local expertise.
ProDetec supplies advanced water quality monitoring equipment to drinking water utilities, wastewater treatment plants, food and beverage producers, mining operations, and industrial facilities across Australia and New Zealand. Our instruments measure turbidity, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, DOC, microbial load, oil-in-water, colour, UV absorbance, and more — continuously, accurately, and with minimal maintenance.
ProDetec supplies advanced water quality monitoring equipment to drinking water utilities, wastewater treatment plants, food and beverage producers, mining operations, and industrial facilities across Australia and New Zealand. Our instruments measure turbidity, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, TOC, microbial load, oil-in-water, colour, UV absorbance, and more — continuously, accurately, and with minimal maintenance.
Every water quality monitoring instrument ProDetec supplies carries internationally recognised certifications that align with Australian and New Zealand regulatory expectations.
Water quality is one of the most tightly regulated aspects of industrial and municipal operations in Australia and New Zealand. Environmental Protection Agencies across every state, the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG), and discharge permits issued by local water authorities all set hard limits — on turbidity, organics, pH, microbial contamination, and hydrocarbon content — that operators must continuously verify and report.
The consequences of non-compliance are significant: fines, production shutdowns, damage to downstream ecosystems, and reputational harm. At the same time, manual sampling and laboratory testing alone cannot keep pace with regulatory expectations for continuous proof of compliance.
Modern online water quality monitoring systems give operators what they need most: reliable, real-time data at every stage of treatment, production, or discharge. They move compliance from reactive to preventive — detecting problems as they emerge rather than days later when lab results arrive.

Hydrogen Safety Monitoring for Battery Storage Systems Hydrogen is invisible, odourless, and highly flammable. In confined battery rooms, small leaks can escalate quickly. Overcharging and thermal runaway can release hydrogen. Without continuous detection, accumulation may reach hazardous levels before anyone notices. Across Australia and New Zealand, large battery projects and…
Marine Gas Detection: Specialised Solutions for Offshore Environments Offshore operations present environments where gas hazards are constant and unforgiving. Confined machinery spaces, volatile cargo, and high-pressure systems create conditions in which undetected leaks lead directly to fire, explosion, or loss of life. Marine gas detection systems are mandatory on rigs,…
Water Quality Monitoring Technology: From Turbidity to Chemical Analysis In Australia and New Zealand, water quality is tightly regulated. Discharge from mining, wastewater, or food production must meet strict standards. When it doesn’t, the fallout is immediate. Fines, lost production, and public scrutiny. Water quality monitoring technologies give operators the…
No one wants to second-guess their safety gear when it matters most. Nothing’s worse than putting lives at risk because a monitor failed quietly when it should’ve screamed. That pain hits harder when regulations demand proof of action-and the clock’s ticking. But here’s the real kicker-bump testing sounds simple, yet…
