Holland sensor

KNOW YOUR METALS IN WATER WITHIN MINUTES

Mizu® measures dissolved metals on site, so you can act on a peak, a filter breakthrough or a release decision without waiting for the lab.

  • Built on patented Boron-Doped Diamond sensing. One platform, validated metal by metal.

    • NO WAITING FOR THE LAB

      Measure on site and see the result right away, instead of waiting for lab results.

    • SPOT METAL SPIKES EARLY

      A sudden rise in metals can go unnoticed between lab tests. Mizu shows it within minutes.

    • AVOID THE COST OF LATE DISCOVERY

      Finding metals late can lead to high treatment costs, production losses and compliance issues. Earlier insight helps you avoid them.

    WHAT YOU GAIN WITH MIZU

    Built on the Holland Sensor platform and patented BDD sensing.

    • Real-time insight, 24/7 Mizu® Fix measures your water around the clock, with a new result every 2 to 6 minutes, depending on the metal.

    • Never miss a peak. Detects metals at ppb level, so a short peak is caught the moment it occurs, not days later in a lab report.

    • Results you can trust. A second measurement step automatically corrects for most matrix interference.

    • Less maintenance. The chemically stable Boron Diamond sensor surface fouls less, so Mizu® needs less maintenance.

    • Cloud-Enabled Insight. Every result is stored with date and location, ready for reporting and trend analysis.

    • Start with one metal, add more later. Begin with one metal. New validated metals are added by software update, without new hardware.

    LET’S MAKE METALS IN WATER VISIBLE

    Mizu® is in development with first partners. Whether you have a metal question about your water, want to build with us or are interested in backing the technology, we would like to talk.

    Mizu®

    Real-Time Metal Monitoring, Built on a Scalable Platform


    1. TAKE A SAMPLE

    With Mizu®Flex, simply collect a water sample. Mizu®Fix is designed for fully automated inline sampling.

    2. MEASURE
    The sensor performs two measurements: one to determine the metal concentration and a second reference measurement to ensure accuracy.

    3. GET RESULTS
    Within minutes, results are automatically uploaded to the cloud, ready to view and analyse anytime, anywhere.

    Product

    THE HOLLAND SENSOR PLATFORM ENABLES APPLICATION-SPECIFIC METAL MONITORING ACROSS INDUSTRIES.

    From portable on-site measurements with Mizu®Flex to automated inline monitoring with Mizu®Fix. One scalable platform, designed for diverse industrial applications.

    Paper & Packaging

    Key metals: Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni)

    Problem: Metal peaks in wastewater can go unnoticed between periodic lab tests, increasing compliance risks.

    Mizu® solution: On-site measurements provide faster insight, enabling timely treatment adjustments.

    Metal & Electro

    Key metals: Zinc (Zn), Chromium (Cr)

    Problem: Undetected metal peaks in rinse water can cause product defects, metal loss and additional treatment costs.

    Mizu® solution: Rapid measurements help operators adjust rinsing and treatment before problems escalate.

    Chemical & Polymer Industry

    Key metals: Zinc (Zn)

    Problem: Delayed metal analysis can slow process decisions and increase wastewater treatment costs.

    Mizu® solution: On-site measurements provide faster insights to support process control and water reuse decisions.

    Semiconductor & electronics 

    Key metals: Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni)

    Problem: Complex metal analysis can require extensive maintenance, causing delays and additional monitoring costs.

    Mizu® solution: Rapid on-site measurements could simplify metal monitoring and reduce dependence on laboratory analysis.

    COPPER & SILVER IONISATION

    Key metals: Copper (Cu), Silver (Ag)

    Problem: Delayed Cu/Ag measurements can complicate system adjustments and increase sampling and service costs.

    Mizu® solution: Fast, precise measurements support efficient system optimisation and controlled ion dosing.

    INDUSTRIAL SCRUBBER WATER

    Key metals: Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb)

    Problem: Fluctuating metal concentrations can create compliance risks and increase wastewater treatment costs.

    Mizu® solution: Faster metal measurements help operators respond earlier and optimise water treatment.

    Unmatched precision with Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) Technology

    At the core of the Holland Sensor Water Sensing Platform lies our Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) technology.

    This chemically robust and electrically conductive material enables stable, low-ppb metal detection in complex water matrices where conventional sensors struggle.

    BDD’s exceptional chemical stability and resistance to fouling make it particularly suited for industrial and challenging water environments — delivering laboratory-grade performance directly at the point of measurement.
