Colubris - Model SmartDose -Dosing Systems
SmartDose matches the coagulant dosing to the removable pollution fraction in the wastewater, minimizing coagulant consumption, minimizing sludge production, the two main running costs components in wastewater treatment. SmartDose automates and optimizes coagulant dosing in wastewater treatment. Forgoing the need for frequent manual monitoring and -dosing adjustment. SmartDose seamlessly integrates with existing plants.
Eco mode & Performance mode
SmartDose now incorporates two functions:
- Eco mode, and Performance mode.
- Eco mode | Reduces coagulant dosage to a user-defined minimum while still removing most emulsified pollution
- Performance mode | Enables SmartDose to operate autonomously, ensuring maximum removal of pollutants without coagulant overdosing
Industries
- Applicable for all emulsion-removal-based wastewater treatment processes.
- Examples of industries with significant emulsified pollution fractions:
- Slaughterhouses & meat processing
- Fish processing & fish meal
- (Petro)chemical industry
- Textile, printing & dyeing
- Rendering & pet food
- Pulp & paper
- Dairy
How does SmartDose work?
SmartDose continuously measures the water quality between the flocs post-coagulation and flocculation. Improvement in water quality prompts a reduction in coagulant dosing while worsening prompts an increase in coagulant dosing.
- Avoids (preventive) coagulant overdosing
- Indirectly reduces neutralizer consumption
- Indirectly reduces flocculant consumption
- 20% to 30% lower chemical consumption
- 15% to 30% lower sludge production
- Forgoes the need for a buffer tank
- Reduces operator involvement
- No calibration required
- Low maintenance
Standard feature
- Data visualization - Dashboard displaying key performance metrics incl. coagulant usage
- Remote supervision - SmartDose comes with a built-in camera
- Remote access - Remote process optimization
Optional feature
- Graphic visualization of coagulant consumption over time
