Technologies for sustainable water management
Endress+Hauser at IFAT Munich 2026
May 4–7, 2026 | IFAT Munich | Hall C1, Booth 451
Regulatory requirements such as the German Municipal Wastewater Directive (KARL), the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) and stricter drinking water standards are significantly increasing the pressure to act in the water, wastewater and waste management sectors.
At IFAT 2026, we will demonstrate how these requirements can be met safely and cost-effectively using precise measurement technology, transparent process data and energy-efficient plant operation.
KARL – let’s talk
Endress+Hauser helps operators and managers reliably meet regulatory requirements—from drinking water treatment to wastewater treatment. Experience our solutions during guided tours at the Endress+Hauser booth, daily at 3 p.m. and talk to us about your specific challenges and our product highlights – with a sweet treat to finish.

Precision measurement technology for safe drinking water quality and strict environmental requirements
The mandatory fourth treatment stage under the KARL directive presents new challenges for wastewater treatment plants: stricter nitrogen and phosphorus limits, as well as the reduction of trace substances, are now the focus.
At IFAT, we will showcase solutions that reliably measure relevant parameters in real time—serving as the foundation for safe and sustainable process control.
At our booth, you can experience, among other things:
- Memosens Wave CAS80E for real-time monitoring of nitrate, turbidity, TOCeq, or SAK25
- CYR51 Wiper for consistently stable measurement values with minimal maintenance
Monitoring of stormwater overflow basins
Increasingly frequent heavy rainfall events place a strain on wastewater treatment plants and threaten drinking water resources.
At IFAT, Endress+Hauser will present solutions for reliable level measurement and intuitive control – ensuring greater operational reliability even under demanding conditions.
Targeted solutions:
- Micropilot FMR20B radar sensor for level measurement
- FlexView FMA90 control unit for easy operation and clear visualization
Reducing energy consumption, optimizing processes
The energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants is also a key focus at IFAT. Real-time measurement data provides transparency into the process and reveals concrete opportunities for savings – without compromising treatment performance.
In focus:
- Proline Teqwave MW for precise inline measurement of solids content in sludge
- Proline Promag W 400 for reliable flow measurement of drinking water, process water, and wastewater – without inlet and outlet sections (0 × DN full bore)
Endress+Hauser demonstrates how efficiency potential can be further tapped, particularly in the biological treatment stage, with a new product:
- Ion-sensitive probe CAS41E Memosens ISE. It enables particularly fast, easy-to-use ammonium and nitrate measurement
