Water Congress 2021
Innovating for sustainable water management
After the presentation during the Water Congress 2020 of Henk Ovink, the Dutch special envoy for international water affairs, for the 2021 Water Congress the Dutch support is even broader. Wageningen University and Research, one of the world’s leading universities for agriculture and with a strong focus on water and sustainability, will co-host the event this year. The focus of the Dutch contribution will be sustainability, consisting of water management, reuse, responsible mining, etc. During the Congress, 3 Dutch companies will present their solutions and services.

In 1995 the first Diver data logger was launched. This product was one of the first data logger in the world. It combines a pressure and temperature sensor, electronics and a battery in one housing. Since that time we have produced more than 300.000 Diver data loggers, which were used all over the world in many projects. Together with the Diver data logger Van Essen introduced a free of charge software program, nowadays known as Diver-Office.
This Diver features either a stainless steel (316 L) casing with a 22 mm diameter (TD-Diver) or 18 mm diameter (Micro-Diver) or a ceramic housing with a 22 mm diameter for the Cera- and CTD-Diver. The CTD-Diver is also monitoring the conductivity.
Since 2009 Van Essen Instruments developed its own telemetry system, called Diver-NETZ. The system sends data from the Diver using a Diver-Link modem to our Diver-Hub web portal.
Through an API interface it makes it possible to extract data from Diver-HUB into another external database.
