HydroGuard - Flushing & Impounding Protection Brochure

The problemModern canal networks should be managed according to the require-ments of the operator. An incre-asingly important factor is the cost-performance ratio. In indivi-dual cases a business management analysis is called for. Most of the currently available systems provide very expensive overall solutions, which seldom allow for effective and inexpensive technically inde-pendent partial installations. It is not always appreciated that the technology necessary for overall solutions often involves large con-structions. Successive expansion is a much better option than an “all or nothing“ decision.The solutionHydroGuard® is not only a product but also a system for the complete management of large canals, whole canal networks as well as for individual canal sections.HydroGuard® provides inexpen-sive partial solutions without com-promising on function.HydroGuard® performs many dif-ferent functions and can be easily adapted and/or modified to meet the operational requirements for the management of single canals or whole networks. The main areas of application include con-trolled impounding and storage processes as well as the temporary detention of discharges with subse-quent utilization of the impounded water for flushing the canals. An adjustable bottom outlet opening enables a continuous transfer of the pollution load to the treatment plant even during impounding.HydroGuard® offers enormous savings potential in technology (up to 50%) and especially in the simp-ler and safer construction design (up to 90%) when compared with other systems.Flushing and impounding protectionFor the management of large canals,canal sections and whole canal networksThe systemThe HydroGuard® flushing and impounding protection can swivel in or out from above into the canal section at any position required. The special design of the impound plate is suitable for both underflow and flow-over.Activation is carried out by a local PLC control with integrated measu-ring and regulating technology based on a program of operation.Ascertaining respective headwater and backwater levels is standard.Additional data such as water quantity and quality can be inclu-ded for comprehensive program-ming and management. Any connection required to a master or central control system is standard.The advantages• Flushing of canals• Prevention andavoidance of deposits• Elimination ofodor pollution• Evenly distributed feeding of treatment plant through regular flushing• Long-reaching flush due to large flushing volumes• Permitted flow-overor underflow• Robust construction from stainless steel and other corrosion-free materials• Optimization ofcanal operationCost effectiveness• Clear savings compared to conventional systems: approx. 50 % in techno-logy and approx. 90 % in construction• Can be used as single facility with expansion option• Suitable for retrofit• Adaptable to various canal sections• Small construction heightPatent pendingThe HydroGuard impound plate is swivel-mounted and can be held in any position.Steinhardt GmbH · Roederweg 8-10 · D-65232 Taunussteinfon +49 (0) 6128 - 9165-0 · fax +49 (0) 6128 - 9165-27 · info@steinhardt.de · www.steinhardt.de Status: 05/08 · Copyright as per DIN 34 · Subject to changes Steinhardt GmbH - 65232 Taunusstein
