Unisense Environment wins the Danish National European Environment Award 2014

"Unisense Environment A/S receives the environmental award for developing the N₂O Wastewater System. The system makes it possible to measure nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater treatment plants can use the sensor for controlling and minimizing N₂O emissions.

With the sensor data, WWTPs can continuously optimize the process tanks and thereby minimize emissions. Because nitrous oxide is a very potent climate gas, the sensor can contribute to reduce the climate impact from wastewater treatment plants."
