Failsafe Conveying of Aggressive Chemicals in Water Treatment

Romania is facing a tremendous challenge: the country must expand its water supply while at the same time ensuring that drinking water reaches consumers through extensive pipeline networks in a hygienically safe condition. This puts a spotlight on a technology that has been used in drinking water treatment for more than 100 years: chlorine gas.

Lutz-Jesco is expanding its research and development in safe chlorine gas technologies. The aim is to improve the handling of chlorine gas further and to make drinking water disinfection even safer. Although chlorine gas is classified as a hazardous substance, it remains indispensable in many regions of the world for the safe and economical disinfection of large quantities of water.

Millions of people around the world do not have safe access to drinking water. In many regions, the infrastructure is stretched to its limits, particularly due to industrialization and the growing population. Lutz-Jesco supports communities and operating companies with modular technology to modernize their drinking water networks. At IFAT 2026 in Munich, the company will be presenting systems for the safe dosing of chlorine gas, as well as electrolysis systems that produce disinfectants from commercially available salt.

When it comes to dosing different fertilizers, Spanish filling and packaging specialist Maquienvas was discontent with their electromagnetic and mass flow meters. They therefore turned to NETZSCH, who recommended PERIPRO peristaltic pumps specifically for this application that requires handling abrasive, corrosive and organic fluids.

Nutrient deficiencies, over-fertilisation and crop losses: many greenhouses struggle due to inaccurate nutrient supply and fluctuating water quality. Lutz-Jesco will be demonstrating what you can do about this at Agritechnica in Hanover. On display: a dosing pump from the Magdos series and the Minichlorgen T chlorine electrolysis system.

Whether for disinfecting process water, bleaching textiles or manufacturing primary materials such as PVC: chlorine gas is central to a range of industrial processes. This important chemical is also highly dangerous, and even small quantities of chlorine gas can cause irreversible damage to human health. It is therefore of vital important that users are not required to combine components from different manufacturers, thereby risking compatibility problems.
