The SMART HOSPITAL-WWT project aims to design, develop, and validate an intelligent system for the on-site monitoring and treatment of hospital effluents contaminated with hazardous substances. This initiative proposes an innovative technological solution that will allow for the safe, on-site analysis and elimination of high-concern contaminants before they are discharged into the sewer system. The system integrates advanced biosensors, genetic analysis techniques, and an intelligent digital platform to detect and monitor cytostatic drugs, antibiotics, resistant bacteria, and resistance genes (resistome) present in the urine samples of hospital patients. This will ensure the complete elimination of contaminants that cannot be treated [...]

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is directly related to biological process conditions in wastewater treatment and has a significant climate impact. According to IPCC assessments, this impact is approximately 265–273 times greater than that of CO2, meaning that even short-term emissions peaks can significantly influence a treatment plant's overall carbon footprint. As a result, emissions that were previously considered negligible are becoming operationally relevant, and regulatory and reporting requirements are increasingly focused on quantifying and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Recent European developments, including the revision of the Urban Waste Water Directive, further underscore this shift towards more systematic monitoring of process-related emissions. [...]

The new product for the beginning of 2024 is the ARLM-70 "Amanda" non-contact radar level meter. It is extremely versatile and can directly replace ultrasonic level meters at medium and longer distances of up to 20 m. Designed for reliable level measurement of a wide variety of liquids. Non-contact radar level transmitters with antenna are suitable for continuous level measurement over medium to long distances Equipped with a teaching function to suppress false reflections Measured values displayed on an OLED or LCD display Measuring range: 8 or 20 m Current output: 4…20mA with HART communication Measurement independent of the temperature [...]

Compressed air leaks are like little holes in your wallet, slowly draining your hard-earned money. Although common in compressed air systems, these leaks often go unnoticed in industrial environments. This translates into significant financial losses, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of euros per year. The good news is that detecting and remedying these leaks can be easy, straightforward, and cost-effective. By following a systematic step-by-step plan, you can easily identify and repair compressed air leaks, saving up to 30% of your compressed air installation’s total energy consumption. The cost of repairing air leaks can even be fully recouped [...]

The industrial pressure transmitter DCT 541 was especially developed for hydrogen applications and can also be used with other technical gases (e. g. oxygen) and uses the communication protocol Modbus RTU which has found the way in industrial communication as an open protocol. The Modbus protocol is based on a master slave architecture with which up to 247 slaves can be requested by a master. For hydrogen applications, it is important to use a material that minimizes or prevents hydrogen embrittlement due to its chemical properties. For oxygen applications, the special cleaning and manufacturing process ensures that residual particles and [...]

BD SENSORS is presenting a new level probe with a stainless-steel sensor in a proven, high-quality design. The special feature of this probe is an i2C interface that the device uses to communicate digitally with higher-level systems. In recent years, the summer months in Europe have been impacted by extreme weather conditions and depleting groundwater volumes. To respond to this more purposefully, the number of monitoring networks for measuring levels of ground and surface water has increased constantly. It’s precisely for these applications that BD|SENSORS is presenting a new, low-power level probe that offers proven technical features as well as [...]

With the DMP 336 pressure transmitter, BD|SENSORS is expanding its range of industrial pressure transmitters with a version that is used for measuring the pressure of hydrogen and technical gases. As an energy carrier of the future, hydrogen - and particularly “green hydrogen” which is obtained from renewable energies - is currently taking on a key role in shaping the energy revolution, both in political and economic terms. These storable gases can be used in many different fields of application, ranging from power and heat generation to powering ships, trains, lorries and aircraft, right up to use as fuel and [...]

Efficiency, quality and safety are essential when it comes to a compressed air system. In order to keep your system that way (or make it even more efficient and safe) monitoring is a must. To avoid unnecessary costs, energy management is required and this is a continuous process. Overtime your production process changes, maintenance issues can occur, new leakages can come to live and more. Therefore, to maximize your energy savings, permanent monitoring is key. An air audit is a great way to uncover your savings potential and based upon its results, great improvements can be made to your compressed [...]

Don't go airborne, but better safe than sorry if your application or its environment is at risk of explosion. TWK introduces a new safety encoder for explosion protection according to ATEX, Zone 1 / 21. Additionally, with certificate for functional safety SIL2 / Performance Level d. There are many different applications. Simple and complex. Inexpensive and expensive. Non-hazardous and hazardous. Some of them are even explosive. The medium-sized company TWK has suitable sensor technology for almost all areas of application to convert mechanical into electrical measured variables or into electronic data. The basic principle is: Safety first. In the context [...]

European Union regulation will substantially increase the use of renewable energy as a source for heat and energy production. Furthermore, the EU requires Member States to significantly increase the use of biogas in the transport sector, from a share of 0.2% in 2022 to 3.5% in 2030. To increase the use of biogas and biomethane has created a need to ensure gas quality by measuring impurities such as siloxanes, ammonia, halogenated hydrocarbons and hydrogen chloride. For this purpose, Important standardization work has been carried out and two separate Standards (EN 16723-1:2016 and EN 16723-2:2017/2018) now establish maximum allowed levels of [...]

In a welded version, the level probe LMP 307 was the ideal choice for measuring fill levels of solvents and fuels. A new housing version makes it easier to mount and increases the level of resistance. BD|SENSORS is expanding its range to include new versions of the tried-and-tested level probe LMP 307.
