Descrizione del progetto
Il monitoraggio digitale delle acque reflue riduce l’idrogeno solforato e le sostanze chimiche per trattarlo
L’idrogeno solforato è un gas altamente tossico e maleodorante, la cui puzza viene spesso paragonata a quella delle uova marce, che viene prodotto nei sistemi fognari a causa della decomposizione della materia organica da parte di batteri anaerobici. Può essere letale per i lavoratori delle imprese di pubblici servizi che entrano in spazi chiusi e può anche causare una significativa corrosione e perdita di risorse. Il progetto H2S Analyzer, finanziato dall’UE, mira a immettere la sua omonima tecnologia sul mercato. Più analizzatori collegati tra loro saranno in grado di supportare il rilevamento online e in tempo reale autonomo di concentrazioni molto piccole di idrogeno solforato, garantendo che venga utilizzata una quantità minima di sostanze chimiche per trattare l’acqua e mantenerla sicura.
Obiettivo
There is a huge environmental problem in our sewers: hydrogen sulphide (H2S). H2S causes massive ecological problems
and economic damage, which arise to more than €250 bn per year in Europe.
Currently, high levels of chemicals such as Nutriox are used in the sewer to eliminate H2S. However, the use of chemicals
could be drastically reduced if measures are taken at the point of origin, the waste water collection point. This requires an
autonomous measuring method that can detect even the smallest H2S concentrations on site and online.
We as ECH have developed such an Analyzer. The H2S Analyzer (TRL 7) is based on a new, patented measurement
method - gas extraction with coupled detection. A higher-level control system connects several H2S Analyzer with each
other and always determines the required quantities of waste water chemicals precisely on the basis of the measurement
results. We make the waste water industry digital with this technology and enable a complete real-time monitoring of the
whole system. Target customers are municipal and private companies in the wastewater industry, but also contract
laboratories (market volume Europe: €1.5 bn). Our advantages are:
1.Automate online measurements
- H2S can be measured autonomously at various points in the wastewater pipe without personnel.
- real-time Monitoring and targeted influencing
2.Exact and reproducible measuring method
-Measurement of H2S occurrences from 0.01 ppm
3.Environmentally friendly
- Proven significant reduction of at least 40-50% in the use of chemicals to treat H2S
- Increased service life wastewater system to 100 years (currently 10-60)
4.Economic viability
- Decreasing costs for replacement investments in wastewater infrastructure
- Cost savings of >40%
The H2S analyzer is seen as a key factor in ECH and leads to significant increase of sales and employees and, in the long
term, a reduction in the use of chemicals in the wastewater industry.
H2S Analyzer - Good for you and the Environment.
