ProMinent : The NEW Dulcometer® Disinfection Controller/Monitor

March 9th, 2012

16 measurement locations with just one central unit – with ProMinent®
The NEW Dulcometer® Disinfection Controller/Monitor
The Dulcometer® Disinfection Controller/Monitor and DULCO®-net technology are revolutionizing measuring, control and metering technology in public water systems. The decentralized modular concept with one single central unit controls sensors and actuators for up to 16 measurement locations.

Simple to plan
The CANopen bus system known for vehicle technology only needs one single bus line. The central unit can be installed in an easily accessible location, e.g. in the operator’s room. It is the DULCO®-Net which offers a cost-effective solution: Up-to 16 systems can be displayed through the central unit!

Simple to install
Installation and commissioning are quick and easy – one single bus line is sufficient. Coded socket connections prevent incorrect connections and polarity problems. Remote access with any PC and standard Internet Browser is possible.

Simple to operate
The 1/4 VGA colour display presents clear text dialogues to the user. A built-in on-line help is displayed with the push of a button. The measurement data can be displayed with the integrated videographic recorder and transferred to a PC using the Dulcometer® Disinfection Controller/Monitor’s internal SD card.

Seepex: A skip in time saves nine.

February 3rd, 2012

A skip in time saves nine. In recent years, legislation has allowed dewatered sludge to be returned to the land only if it had first been appropriately treated. One favoured method is stabilising the sludge by mixing it with quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO). This causes an exothermic reaction, helpfully raising the pH of the sludge […]
