LIR LABS LIMITED

LIR Labs Limited is a technology‑driven start‑up that brings visual intelligence to industrial biology. By deploying AI‑powered, automated microscopes directly on‑site, the company delivers real‑time optical data on particle morphology, substrate consumption, species distribution and ecosystem health, giving operators the insight they need to optimise processes, avoid compliance breaches and predict system behaviour up to 48 hours in advance.

The core offering combines high‑resolution microscopy with deep‑learning and automation to monitor a range of applications – from activated‑sludge basins and influent/effluent streams in water‑treatment plants to biomanufacturing waste streams. LIR Labs’ system automatically flags early signs of sludge bulking, toxic shocks, foreign contaminants or escaped genetically‑modified organisms, and provides precise, actionable guidance on energy use, chemical dosing and waste rates. Users can realise savings of up to €100 k per year while maintaining a continuous digital audit trail for regulatory compliance.

Backed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Future Greentech Incubator programme, LIR Labs’ leadership team – including CTO Doruk Otzurk, CPO Emile Meunier and COO Diego Munoz – is dedicated to ushering water‑treatment and bioprocess industries into a new age of AI‑enhanced efficiency and sustainability.
