Okeanos Smart Data Solutions GmbH

What Okeanos Smart Data Solutions GmbH does

Okeanos Smart Data Solutions GmbH is a privately held German water-technology company headquartered in Bochum that develops bioelectrochemical sensor systems and data platforms for water and environmental management. Its core technology, the eVide® microbial fuel cell sensor, measures microbiome activity directly in wastewater streams in real time, converting organic load into a measurable bioelectrical signal that supports estimation of BOD, COD, volatile fatty acids, and nitrogen/phosphorus compounds. Built around this sensor is a portfolio of products including Okeanos.Clear (wastewater treatment optimization platform with anomaly detection and biokinetic modeling), Okeanos.TEAL (blue-green infrastructure and urban water-cycle monitoring), and Okeanos.VIVID (natural hazard early warning for floods and heavy rain), with BioSpectre as a sub-product for near real-time influent load measurement at treatment plants. The company sells and deploys these solutions through a direct enterprise sales motion aimed at municipal wastewater treatment plants and water management authorities in Germany, with active deployments across Bochum, Dortmund, Münster, Dinslaken, and Berlin.

The company generates revenue through four streams: hardware sales of eVide® biosensors and IoT equipment, subscription- and data-driven services via the Okeanos.Clear platform, expert consulting for water management questions, and research-transfer services that support project execution and commercialization. Pricing is custom-quoted based on plant size and sensor configuration and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by an industry-events and content-marketing presence, supplemented by funded research collaborations with public-sector sponsors (mFUND/BMVI, Grüne Gründungen.NRW, EFRE). Okeanos is led by two Managing Directors, Henning Oppel and Benjamin Mewes, with domain ownership of municipal water management held by Dr. Tobias Littfinski; the company is a GmbH with no disclosed parent, subsidiary, or external investor backing, and its planned commercial release for eVide BioHealth is targeted for October 15, 2026.

Core offering

Okeanos develops and sells bioelectrochemical sensor systems based on microbial fuel cell principles that measure microbiome activity directly in wastewater streams in real time. The company's portfolio combines proprietary eVide® BioHealth hardware sensors with the Okeanos.Clear data platform for process monitoring, anomaly detection, and biokinetic modeling, alongside blue-green infrastructure (Okeanos.TEAL) and natural hazard early warning (Okeanos.VIVID) solutions for water management authorities.

Product overview

Okeanos Smart Data Solutions GmbH offers an integrated portfolio of water and environmental management solutions built around their core eVide biosensor technology. The main products include Okeanos.Clear (wastewater treatment optimization platform), Okeanos.TEAL (blue-green infrastructure and flood warning systems), and Okeanos.VIVID (natural hazard early detection). The eVide BioHealth sensor forms the foundation technology—a microbial fuel cell-based biosensor that enables real-time microbiome monitoring. The BioSpectre project extends this technology for influent load measurement. The architecture combines specialized sensors with data platforms for process automation and predictive analytics across municipal water management applications.

Products and services

• eVide® BioHealth Sensor Bioelectrical fuel cell sensor that measures microbiome activity directly in wastewater streams in real time. Electrochemically active bacteria oxidize organics into CO2, protons, and electrons, creating a direct signal for biological activity and oxygen demand. Designed for municipal wastewater treatment plants seeking process optimization and stability.
• Okeanos.Clear Data-driven wastewater treatment optimization platform providing process monitoring, anomaly detection, mass balance analysis, and biokinetic (Activated Sludge Model) modeling for treatment plant stability and operational efficiency.
• Okeanos.TEAL Blue-green infrastructure solution for smart cities, providing flood warning systems, soil moisture monitoring, precipitation forecasting, and irrigation route optimization for urban green spaces and climate-adaptive urban water management.
• Okeanos.VIVID Natural hazard early warning system using AI and IoT sensors for flood and heavy rain detection, enabling hydrological hazard preparedness for municipalities and infrastructure operators.
• BioSpectre Sensors Microbial fuel cell technology combined with mathematical and data-driven soft sensing models for near real-time measurement of wastewater quality parameters (COD, BOD) at wastewater treatment plant influents.
