Heidelberg technology to prevent water pollution

With its new fourth treatment stage, the Bickenbach sewage plant is taking a decisive step towards sustainable water and drinking water protection. The modular DULCOZON OZLa ozone system from ProMinent removes micropollutants such as drug residues, pesticides and hormones almost completely and sustainably improves water quality in the Rhine-Main region.

ProMinent is expanding its DULCONNEX digital platform with the new Remote Control Module. The platform connects measuring, control and metering devices, enabling processes to be monitored centrally, data to be evaluated and devices to be controlled directly from a PC workstation – conveniently from a remote location.

Particle detectors on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, will be kept cool using LEWA diaphragm metering pumps. The specially modified LEWA pumps will constantly feed liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) into the detectors’ cooling circuit at temperatures as low as -55 °C.

Water is a vital, indispensable resource—for us humans, of course, but also for the economy. The management and protection of water resources, ecosystems, and drinking water is one of the cornerstones of environmental protection and is becoming increasingly important. The market for water treatment solutions is therefore growing rapidly, but at the same time is extremely fragmented, as there are so many different suppliers.

OTEC Präzisionsfinish develops and manufactures machines for surface finishing. The company relies on high quality – and on the new metering pump beta/X from ProMinent. It ensures precisely controlled lubricant supply in the vibratory finishing process and impresses with its reliable performance, easy integration and high user-friendliness.

GEA, provider of process technology and sustainable industrial solutions, is supporting Lignatherm AG in Küssnacht, Switzerland, with the supply of key components for a customized, three-stage water treatment solution at its new wood fiber insulation board factory in Küssnacht.
