Splash - The Magazine for Swimming Pool Technology

In the fight against the corona virus, researchers are working against time: a vaccine must be developed, tested and approved as quickly as possible. For this reason, one of the world's largest service providers for medical research contacted ProMinent to optimise special metering tasks.

The effective disinfection of surfaces plays the central role in the containment of the corona virus. With our electrolysis systems, the highly effective disinfectant can be produced directly on site. The North Italian civil defence is already benefiting from this.

To combat the spread of the coronavirus in the Chinese city of Wuhan, several temporary hospitals were built in a very short time. ProMinent China donated two chlorine dioxide systems for water treatment for one of them.

At aquanale 2019, ProMinent's stand showed how swimming pool operators can ensure clear, pure swimming pool water with energy-saving and environmentally-sound solutions. “All in all, a successful, international exhibition. We are very happy!" said Harald Jarc, Managing Director of ProMinent Deutschland GmbH, of aquanale in Cologne, which attracted a large number of visitors. He added: "At this year's trade fair, we entered into a lot of quality discussions with existing and potential customers from Germany and abroad. On the first day of the event, a lot of people were drawn to our stand by the presence of Sarah Köhler, World Champion in the 1500 m freestyle. The friendly swimmer from Heidelberg signed give-aways and chatted to existing customers and potential customers about water quality and how it impacts on performance, success and health.”

BrauBeviale 2019 was best summed up by Andrea Kalrait, who manages the event: “Fantastic atmosphere at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre: numerous new contacts from home and abroad, initial business contacts and closing of deals: plenty of good food and drink”. This was confirmed by Robert Günther, Divisional Manager for Food & Beverage / Potable Water at ProMinent Deutschland GmbH who added: “Our products ensure that the food and beverage industry is always playing it safe. Our products allow food and drink to be produced, brewed and bottled hygienically.”

As sponsor of the swimming talent Sarah Köhler we congratulate her and the German Open Water Relay on the gold medal!

Strong outgassing, highly viscous, abrasive, shear sensitive or chemically aggressive? Fluids that place high demands on pumps.

On May 2, 2019 ProMinent carry out the opening of its new facilities in Mexico located at the north of Queretaro City.

After the five-day trade fair, Deutsche Messe AG concluded that everything had gone very well. Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chair of the Board at Deutsche Messe AG, said that “Hannover Messe 2019 has demonstrated that it is the most important platform internationally for all technologies associated with industrial transformation”. Torsten Silkenbeumer, Key Account Manager for Process Technology at ProMinent, confirmed that the event had been a success from ProMinent’s standpoint too: "Our involvement in the Pump Plaza produced numerous leads in Germany and abroad. Alongside our metering and process pumps, visitors were especially interested in our web-based solutions for digital fluid management.”

Many water suppliers use chlorine for disinfection. Increasingly stringent environmental requirements and greater need for process optimization and safety are upping the demand for consistently precise chlorine feed and dosage control. A tailor-made metering system is the perfect alternative when a complete overhaul is economically not feasible.

Public swimming pools have to meet numerous requirements and ensure that their water quality is impeccable at all times. The operators of “DAS BAD Merzig” in Germany’s Saarland use fully automatic chlorine gas metering systems DULCO®Vaq to safely treat their water in line with the relevant standards.

The reaction environment is hot, aggressive and highly alkaline. Unshaken, the robust technology keeps all parameters in the target range. This is where the anode material is produced for the battery which will later provide your phone with a clean and reliable power supply.

Steady growth in visitor numbers and substantial new investment made it possible to enlarge the wellness zone at Badeparadies Schwarzwald. Once again the popular pool and wellness attraction chose ProMinent for reliable water treatment.

Seafood farming is a challenging business as the quality of the water needs to be permanently monitored to avoid illness. The powerful controller DULCOMARIN® II is perfectly suited for such sensitive work.

ProMinent systems have been supplying flocculation aids for clarifier sludge dewatering in the Forchheim sewage plant since the 1980s. Following a renovation project, the modern ProMinent technology is still just as reliable but is even dust-free too now.

Magnificent and luxurious – a Chinese investor has built a resort a cut above the rest on the island of Saipan. The potable water and pool water need to be treated perfectly and reverse osmosis and UV systems from ProMinent have been tasked with the job.

True to the saying “there’s no place like home”, a Swiss couple included a pool in plans for the garden when building their new home. The best thing about their plans is the fact that the pool control system DULCOMARIN® II is linked to the house control system and can be operated with ease via a tablet.

Table water is hugely popular in Mexico. So there is demand for hygienically pure bottling systems and reliable bottle-washing facilities. One of the leading producer of bottled water planned to redevelop the CIP process. At the same time the company´s sustainability policy should be respected. This explains why the leading producer Bonafont has an OZONFILT® OZVa for disinfection, helping to save time and money on top of that.

District heating is environmentally-sound, convenient and cheap. It’s even cheaper in the Hagenow public utilities company – with the smart use of a solenoid driven metering pump delta® from ProMinent.

Bacteria and cross-contamination set off all the alarm bells in food production! This article shows how manufacturers of poultry and salad products have used chlorine dioxide systems from ProMinent to efficiently overcome these problems.

The Carolus Thermen in Aachen in Germany, named after king Charles the Great, are an unparalleled world of wellness. The demanding job of treating the thermal water is handled by our modern electrolysis system and the powerful measuring and control system.
