Sensileau Academy
We are proud to announce our newest collaboration with Wateropleidingen!
Wateropleidingen and Sensileau are launching the updated Sensileau Academy course on online sensor technology. In this course, which consists of two sessions, you will learn everything about online water quality sensors, their principles, and their applications in the water sector. The course is designed for professionals in the water sector who want to learn more about the operation and application of sensors. Whether you are new to the industry or have extensive experience and wish to expand your knowledge, this course offers valuable insights.
Introduction to Online Sensor Technology
This course covers the basics of online sensor technology for the water industry. The most commonly used online sensor techniques will be explained, including colorimetric analysers, ion-selective electrodes (ISEs), optical sensors, early warning systems and biosensors. For each technology type, benefits, drawbacks and operational conditions are discussed.
Complex Parameters
This course covers the latest developments in sensor technologies for complex parameters such as pesticides, PFAS and microplastics. During this course, the possibilities of novel detection technologies such as the use of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers in combination with electrochemical detection will be discussed in relation to current water monitoring challenges.
UPDATED: Introduction to Online Sensor Technology
This course covers the basic principles of online sensor technology. Explaining how the most common sensors work, where they can be used, and the advantages and disadvantages of the various techniques. Additionally, practical examples of these technologies in the water sector will be presented to illustrate their application.
Number of sessions in each course: 2

Nutrient Monitoring
In this course, we will discuss monitoring technologies for nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in surface water, wastewater and drinking water. The course covers online optical, electrochemical and colorimetric methods for the detection of nutrients in water, and provides the participants with the necessary knowledge to select the most suitable technology for any particular application.
Number of sessions in this course: 1
Early Warning Systems
Early Warning Systems (EWS) for the rapid detection of water quality issues can be based on chemical fingerprinting technologies or biological effect monitoring techniques using live organisms, tissues or cells. This course explains the most commonly used techniques in water monitoring and how to apply these in e.g. intake monitoring or wastewater treatment protection.
Number of sessions in each course: 2
Bacteria & Viruses
Since the start of the Covid-pandemic, virus detection in wastewater has become world news. Especially in recent years, many ways to detect micro-organisms in water rapidly have been developed. This course presents them in a clear overview, including the benefits and drawbacks of each method, to facilitate the selection of the right solution for solving specific microbial water quality issues.
Number of sessions in each course: 1
Algae & Cyanobacteria
This course focuses on the similarities of and differences between three laboratory methods and two field monitoring methods for the quantification of algae and cyanobacteria. The advanced course includes principles of quality assurance and quality control measures for these methods, the design and execution of a suitable monitoring strategy, and the evaluation of monitoring data.
