ProMinent Dosiertechnik GmbH

Headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany, the ProMinent Group generated in 2009 a turnover of 309.5 million Euros with 2.079 employees. 55 own sales and service companies and representations in another 60 countries guarantee worldwide service and availability. In 2010 ProMinent celebrates its 50th anniversary.

In 2003 a re-orientation took place in the business units Chemical Fluid Handling (CFH) and Water Treatment Solutions (WTS). On 1 July 2006 the unit WTS was anchored in form of the 'ProMinent ProMaqua GmbH' as an independent subsidiary company within the ProMinent group.

The CFH business area offers complete systems for storage, transfer, metering, and neutralization of liquid chemicals. Products are chemical storage tanks, chemical transfer pumps, metering pumps (solenoid driven metering pumps, motor driven metering pumps, process metering pumps), instrumentation for monitoring, measurement, and control, complete dosing systems (standard dosing systems, customized dosing systems) and polymer preparation systems.

The subsidiary company ProMinent ProMaqua GmbH is focussed on the industries beverage, food, drinking water, and the swimming pool as well as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, cooling water disinfection and legionella prevention. Offering complete system solutions for water treatment, making use of all current methods to treat water. Products are chlorine dioxide systems, chlorine electrolysis systems, UV systems, ozone systems, and reverse osmosis systems, plus the products mentioned above for CFH.

Reliability is our main virtue. Therefore we heavily invest in research and development and keep a company-own manufacture percentage of over 70%. This ensures an optimum standard of quality in our twelve manufacturing locations, and makes us independent of fluctuations in the supplier market. All internal processes are certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.

Would you like to optimize or automate an existing application, for example, to reduce chemical consumption? Or are you looking for a possibility to neutralize waste water in accordance with legal regulations, automated and including a measuring value protocol? Or would you like to dose chemicals precisely into a complex process then control and monitor this action via a superordinated PLC? If you are looking for more than “just” a metering pump, a sensor, a controller or a chlorine dioxide system then we can help you!

If you are looking for the optimal solution for your application, it is not sufficient to only choose the “right” component such as a dosing pump, a sensor or a control unit. It is rather necessary to adjust and fine-tune all components and their inter-linking to produce the best solution possible. It will be our pleasure to do that for you!

If you are interested in any one of our many products, this product will often be “just” a necessary means to an end, when  you are actually intending to reorganize, optimize or automate an application, be it the neutralisation of waste water, the disinfection of drinking water or the dosing of corrosion inhibitors into a cooling circuit, just to mention a few. With more than 40 years of experience in chemical fluid handling and water treatment, we offer you much more than just single products, we offer complete solutions.

Applications can be very complex. A large range of possible interactions among the necessary components such as dosing pumps, sensors, measuring and control devices and especially the hydraulic design of the piping will determine the quality and thus the efficiency of an application.

Reaching an ideal result in an application is not only a matter of choosing the right components according to the respective requirements such as counter-pressure, flow rate, temperature, measuring range or chemical resistance. To guarantee the best solution possible, all involved components have to be connected, adjusted and fine-tuned, with each other and, if necessary, with a superordinated control unit. Furthermore, possible parasitic drags from the surrounding have to be taken into consideration.

This is why our specialists are experts not only on our products but also have the necessary knowledge in hydro chemistry, hydraulics, measuring and control technology, microbiology and other areas required to solve your application problems.

Your advantage: One single contact supplying solutions from one source and, if required, including mounting and commissioning. There is no better way! Come in and click through to your particular application.

• Waste Water
• Utility Water
• Boiler-Feed Water
• Cooling Water
• Disinfection
• CIP
• Dosing of Chemicals
• Legionella Prevention
• pH Adjustment

Every industry has its own peculiarities. This is especially true when it comes to water treatment or chemical fluid handling processes. We at ProMinent recognize this and have adapted our products and services accordingly.
 
Some process steps hardly differ among the industries, e.g. the adjustment of a predefined pH value in wastewater. However, there are also processes that are highly individual for specific industries, e.g. the disinfection of returnable bottles in a bottle washing machine for the beverage industry or the washing and disinfection of fresh vegetables in the food industry. And even there, vegetable treatment is not always the same. Spinach has to be treated in a different way than cabbage – as a matter of course. At ProMinent, we are fully aware of these differences.

This deep and comprehensive industry knowledge is of great value. Our Food & Beverage Department e.g. consists not only  of specialists for dosing, chlorine dioxide and UV, ozone and membrane filtration systems. There are also, for only one example, real master brewers who brew their own beer in their leisure time. These (and other) experts and enthusiasts have a deep understanding of the daily business of our customers in the beverage  and food industries – in every regard.

Your advantage: As industry insiders, we understand your requirements completely. Our long lasting experience with projects and customers from your own industry are applied to the solution of your problems and special needs.

However, ProMinent cannot have a team of specialists for each and every industry either. Therefore we have two main business areas with different focuses:

• Water Treatment Solutions (WTS) and
• Chemical Fluid Handling (CFH)

The business area, Water Treatment Solutions, concentrates on the following industries:

• Beverages
• Food
• Drinking Water Supply
• Swimming Pools

For these industries we have extensive, industry specific know-how and offer complete system solutions for water treatment, for both- plant constructors (OEM) and operators.

The business area, Chemical Fluid Handling, serves a multitude of other industries, such as

• Chemical Industry
• Municipal Waste Water Disposal
• Oil and Gas Industries
• Electroplating Industry
• Semiconductor Industry
• Paper Industry
• etc.

ProMinent offers complete solutions for chemical fluid handling. Here we cover the entire process chain: storage, transfer, measuring/control, dosing and neutralizing.
