Reports of natural disasters always affect us particularly as, all too often, entirely unforeseen, large numbers of people are utterly and helplessly exposed to the most terrible situations. That is why we are extremely pleased that ProMinent technology is now being used to help thousands of flood victims in Thailand.
Safety has to be paramount wherever many thousands of visitors throng through the gates to a venue every day; the same also applies to the world's largest theme park. Major importance is attached to every aspect of safety at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi – irrespective of whether it relates to safety on the roller coaster rides or the safety of clean drinking water.
Boiler feed water plays a critical role in the trouble-free operation of steam generators. As lime and other deposits, as well as biofilms, have an insulating effect, they can significantly impair the efficiency of heat exchangers in steam and hot water systems. Failures and down times, caused by corrosion or efficiency losses caused by deposits and limescale, can be avoided using special systems supplied by ProMinent.
The town of Vohenstrauss can again use its Fahrenberg spring unrestrictedly, thanks to its investment in a fully automatic filtration and UV system. The town, located in the Upper Palatinate Danube Hills region of Southern Germany, installed a state of the art, fully automatic ultrafiltration system (UF system) and a UV system in the high-level tank under the Fahrenberg hill, which came into operation in 2004, both systems now reliably guaranteeing germ-free, clean drinking water.
The Bernaqua Westside Water Park and Spa in Bern, the leisure and wellness oasis designed by leading architect Daniel Libeskind, allows visitors to experience water in the most varied of ways.

One of the largest breweries in Venezuela needed its process water to be treated for the operation of the brewery and for its bottling processes. Germ-free water is also used in bottling, as well as in rinsing and cleaning and disinfection processes and it is imperative that a significantly varying volume flow (0 – 35 m³/h water) is treated with adequate disinfectant. The brewery uses three complete chlorine dioxide generation and metering systems from ProMaqua.
Employees of swimming pools have been shown in some cases to develop asthma as an occupational illness caused by exposure to trichloramines. However, these guideline values are all in a day's work for ProMinent France S.A., as the swimming pool water supply for the Olympic swimming pool in Dijon is disinfected with ozone technology.
A "Plug&Play" desalination plant by ProMaqua supplies some 75 cubic metres of germ-free drinking water per hour. The exceptional feature is the relatively high salt content of 6.270 mg/l and the high boron content of the feed water. The system, which was custom designed by the Heidelberg based manufacturer, uses several stages to turn undrinkable water into crystal clear, hygienic and perfectly fresh drinking water.
Bottled water is produced in Bulgaria - water treatment systems were unable to prevent microbiological contamination during the bottling process. ProMaqua replaced the existing systems with its own ozone systems and the result is germ-free drinking water of the highest quality.
The filtration of water is one step in the treatment of swimming pool water. This also applies to the Frauenfeld indoor and open-air pools and whirlpool in the Swiss canton of Thurgau.

Water is essential for manufacturer handling with food. It is additive, cooling liquid, cleaning medium and more. Due to this it must be 100 percent clean and germ-free. That has been the problem: Fattorie Osella, an Italian dairy company part of the international group Kraft Foods, needed to use 200 mc/h of microbiologically controlled water within its facility. Water, to be used for secondary purposes, without getting in contact with the end product, showed little microbial-related problems, in particular the presence of Pseudomonas.

The Dolder Grand is one of Switzerland’s most outstanding spa hotels. The original Curhaus, or health spa, built in 1899, has been transformed into a luxury-class city resort. The hotel boasts an exclusive ambience of opulence and relaxation, with 173 luxurious rooms and suites, exquisite cuisine, large banquet and seminar rooms and a new 4000 sqm spa. Running a hotel of this standard requires superior technology – an important part of which was supplied by ProMinent.
Våta vägbanor är troligen den mest underskattade faran av de flesta bilister. Därför har halkbanor blivit ett allt vanligare inslag i körkortsutbildningen i många länder.I exempelvis holländska Lelystad testar eleverna bromssträckan på en vägbana som sprayats med vatten. Vattnet återanvänds åtskilliga gånger och måste därför vara rent och bakteriefritt, speciellt legionellafritt. ProMinent fick uppdraget att lösa problemet på bilskolan och installerade en sensor från Dulcotest-serien. Sensorn håller koll på hur mycket desinfektionsmedel som behövs, i det fallet klor. Mätdata skickas till en DulcoMarin som sköter doseringen och garanterar rent och bakteriefritt vatten. Lösningen ger inte bara säker halkkörning - som extra bonus håller däcken på bilskolans bilar även längre!
