Following on from the success of numerous water treatment plants in the UK and Ireland, Pi is now beginning to offer the CoagSense coagulation controller to other countries in the world in an effort to help water treatment plants become more efficient and effective.

Termozipa Power Station, near Bogota, Colombia, has recently built a new water treatment works to provide clean water to the plant’s cooling towers from the neighbouring river water. Coagulation dosing at the water treatment works will be automatically controlled by Pi’s CoagSense coagulation controller to ensure that the water is treated effectively, helping to improve water quality and optimise chemical usage.

Pi’s Julius Guth commissions coagulation controller in Colombia

Salt Cathedral, Colombia

Pi’s head office contact for Latin America, Julius Guth, recently travelled to Colombia and Mexico to visit distributors and assist with the commissioning of Pi’s first coagulation controller on the continent.

Designed to assist with the monitoring and control of coagulation dosing, Pi’s CoagSense coagulation controller can take in signals from several sensors and in this instance is using:

• The CRIUS^® instrument controller,
• The pHSense pH Meter,
• The TurbSense^® Turbidity Meter and
• The StreamerSense Streaming Current Monitor.

The installation of Pi equipment for such applications is made possible by Pi’s sophisticated Remote Access system which enables 2-way communication with onsite analysers, allowing settings to be adjusted remotely from anywhere in the world.

Julius also spent time with Pi’s distributors in Colombia and Mexico, learning more about their latest projects and visiting water treatment companies. The trip wasn’t all work though! Julius had the opportunity to visit the underground Salt Cathedral in Zipaquirá, known as the ‘First Wonder of Colombia’. This spectacular cathedral is made up of tunnels and expansive caverns carved into the mountainside. Consisting almost entirely of rock salt, the mountain still has an active salt mine alongside the stunning cathedral.

Pi’s head office contact for Portugal and Spain, Daniel Nearney, travelled to Portugal to attend the event and meet with companies who have shown interest in Pi’s products. Izasa’s exhibition stand showcased products that are currently receiving a lot of interest in the Portuguese market, including:

• The CRIUS^® Instrument Controller,
• The HaloSense Chlorine Analyser,
• The TurbSense^® Turbidity Monitor,
• The pHSense pH Meter and
• The CounterSense Particle Counter.

Daniel spent time with Izasa representatives Joáo Paulo (Portugal) and David Aparicio (Spain) at their exhibition stand and was able to assist them with technical advice and product specific knowledge. Daniel also took the opportunity to catch up with representatives from EPAL (Free Public Water Company of Lisbon), who recently purchased several HaloSense systems for installation in their water treatment plants.
When commenting about his trip, Daniel said:

“It was a fantastic opportunity to attend ENEG and meet with customers and prospects based in Portugal. We have been long-standing partners with Izasa, so it’s always good to see them and provide assistance where we can. There looks to be many upcoming projects in 2020 and I look forward to working with Joáo and David to implement these in Portugal and Spain.”

ENEG is a biannual conference for water distribution and drainage companies from all over Portugal. It is the largest event of its kind in the country, and ENEG 2019 was the largest conference in ENEG history.

Earlier this year, World Water Week 2019 was held in Stockholm, Sweden, where three winners of the Urban Water Challenge Award were selected from 226 companies across 38 countries.

One of Pi’s OEMs, Indra Water from India, was one of the winners of this prestigious award for their modular, self-contained wastewater treatment systems which will be deployed in schools and colleges in Mumbai.

Working together since July 2018

Indra Water Private Labelling

Indra Water’s wastewater treatment systems combine Pi’s water quality instrumentation with patented treatment technology, which removes water pollutants in a low-energy, chemical-free process.

Pi’s CRIUS^® instrument controllers are fundamental to the treatment systems, providing precise data feedback to improve efficiency. Several of Pi’s sensors are integrated into the treatment systems to monitor the effectiveness of the electro-coagulation based process, including:

• The pHSense pH Meter,
• The ConductiSense Conductivity Meter,
• The ORPSense ORP Monitor and
• The TurbSense^® Turbidity Monitor.

As part of the integration of Pi’s equipment, Indra Water ordered their own company branded labels for the CRIUS^® analysers. Private labelling is a service that Pi can provide, in certain circumstances, for a small one-off fee enabling companies to incorporate Pi equipment into their own systems, as well as increasing their own brand awareness at the same time.

Pi’s head office contact for Asia, Julius Guth, who has been working closely with Indra Water to provide the best combination of measurement equipment to monitor their treatment process, spoke about the award:

“It’s fantastic for our partner, Indra Water, to be recognised for their achievements in providing an innovative and affordable wastewater solution for schools and colleges in Mumbai. I take great pride in providing equipment which not only helps to improve water quality but can also help to make a real impact on the lives of young people in developing countries.”

Following the introduction of new water quality regulations from the Vietnamese government, water treatment companies throughout Vietnam are now seeking water monitoring equipment to enable them to meet these requirements.

The Vietnamese Government’s drive to improve drinking water quality and clean up industrial waste effluent presents a fantastic opportunity for water treatment manufacturers to provide equipment to help the government meet their aims, and create a better environment for the people of Vietnam.

Pi’s Julius Guth visits Vietnam

Pi’s Julius Guth in Vietnam

Pi’s head office contact for Asia, Julius Guth, travelled to Vietnam to meet with several companies who have shown great interest in Pi’s products. Julius spent time with water treatment companies across Vietnam, travelling from the capital city Hanoi, to the beach city of Da Nang and finally to Vietnam’s main business centre of Ho Chi Minh. This provided a real insight into the key relationships between water treatment companies and the Government.

All of the companies Julius visited showed a strong desire to work with Pi. Two companies were identified to act as official distributors of Pi’s products in Vietnam. Lappro Automation (with co-operation from Senco and Saigontec) will distribute Pi’s products for clean water applications, particularly focusing on:

• The HaloSense Chlorine Analyser and
• The TurbSense^® Turbidity Monitor in drinking water.

Deahan (part of the Seiki Group) will distribute Pi’s products for wastewater applications, particularly focusing on:

• The pHSense pH Meter,
• The SoliSense^® Suspended Solids Monitor and
• The UV254Sense UV254 Analyser to measure COD in industrial effluent water.

The trip wasn’t all work though, Julius was able to take in some Vietnamese culture as he visited a fire-breathing bridge, the ancient town of Hoi An, the eye-opening War Remnants museum and even had a ride down the river in a traditional Vietnamese coconut boat.

When commenting about his trip, Julius said:

“It was an amazing experience to visit such a lively and vibrant country that never seems to sleep! I look forward to partnering with both Senco and Deahan and I will ensure that the other companies I visited in Vietnam have the opportunity to work with Pi through these distributors.”
