Let nature do the job !
New DNA technologies are creating unprecedented possibilities in the treatment of water, ground, air and waste materials. With these DNA techniques we develop new technologies to remove contaminants from your ground, water or industrial processes more cheaply and permanently. We characterise and accurately measure your biological processes so that you can let nature do the work. Our services are available for water treatment, soil remediation, ecology and industry.Contact

(This is a translation of a Dutch article that was published in H2O-online / 18th May 2021) Aleida Hommes-de Vos van Steenwijk, Marc van Bemmel (Orvion), Henk Tamerus, Oscar van Zanten (Dutch waterboard de Dommel) The constructed wetland ‘waterpark Groote Beerze’ provides a natural post-treatment of the effluent of the …
Within the Momentum project we developed a field method, Orvion Udetect®, to be able to detect bacterial species of interest in water samples within 2 hours by qPCR. The method was used in Mozambique to produce quantitative and accurate data on the microbial water quality of the city of Tete …
For the past two years, there has been a lot of news about a “new” contaminant, “PFAS,” which has caused a lot of inconvenience in the construction and soil industries. Recently it was demonstrated in America that there is a bacterium that breaks down this worrying group of substances. Geofoxx …
Alexander Prinsen & Marc van Bemmel have started a new series of monthly break-out sessions & podcasts: “Micro-organisms through a different lens”, hosted by Venturecafe Rotterdam.For each session we will invite a guest speaker, specialists in the field of virology, microbiology and biochemistry. After the session, the interview will be …
Today we celebrate 7½ years Orvion and we launch Orvion Udetect®. With Udetect you can quickly and accurately analyse bacteria in water, such as E. Coli, Salmonella, Cyanobacteria and Legionella! Normally this is done in the lab with cultivation techniques. This takes a long time and is often tricky: samples …
In-situ remediation can be quick – faster than many people think. Orvion has designed an in-situ remediation plan for a site in Bilthoven and has provided their environmental expertise. This remediation was completed within one year; the intervention value in soil and groundwater was amply achieved. A gas station used …
The year 2020 has begun! At Orvion we look back on a year full of innovation. Below are a few of our highlights of 2019. We are proud of what we have achieved and will continue to commit ourselves to creating a cleaner and more sustainable world in 2020. Field …
Today the H2O professional article about fast mobile DNA analysis in Mozambique has been published (in Dutch, the main project report is in English). Here you can read the article and download it in PDF. A milestone for Orvion and our partner WeConsult. In the project we have developed methods …
The soil on the WAVIN site in Hardenberg has been contaminated with solvents for a long time. These substances were formerly used as a degreasing agent. WAVIN has been controlling this groundwater contamination since the 1990s. Groundwater was pumped up and cleaned above ground. But the problem was not definitively …
