EMEC selected by EU Gateway: a great result and a big opportunity in Asian market

EMEC took part in the latest mission organized in Asia within EU Gateway | Business Avenues, an initiative funded by the European Union for helping selected European companies to establish long-lasting business collaborations in Asian markets, in particular in Japan, China, Korea and South East Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam).

The opportunity to participate in EU Gateway business missions, meeting the eligibility criteria, is an important commercial result for EMEC as well as an important starting point for a further expansion of its business. “EU Gateway | Business Avenues” program is indeed the leading business platform for establishing successful partnerships between European and Asian firms, and its business missions act as fundamental entry tickets for European companies to markets with many opportunities that can be difficult to penetrate due to business culture or regulatory constraints.

EU Gateway selected 44 companies, including EMEC, from 14 different EU countries for participating in the mission planned between July 8^th and 13^th in Singapore and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and focused on Environment and Water Technologies sector.

EMEC installed the first model in Europe of Panasonic SMT machine "NPM-W2S"

Two new assembly systems based on the Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) and produced by the Factory Solutions division of Panasonic, a leading company in this field, have just been installed in EMEC’s SMD department. This is the department that oversees the manufacturing of all the electronic components (Surface-mount devices) underlying the great reliability of our dosing, control and disinfection systems.

How and why Chlorine Dioxide and LOTUS generators can protect you from Legionella

Water treatment to prevent the proliferation of legionellosis bacteria is one of the main challenges with regard to hot water recirculation networks in water-sanitary systems. In this field the use of chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) has replaced that of chlorine (hypochlorous acid) for water treatment and disinfection, first of all because of the many advantages brought by a biocidal and antiviral power definitely higher as well as independent from the pH of the water to treat.

In particular, chlorine dioxide is the safest and the most effective answer against the risk of legionellosis, especially in cooling towers and Hot Water systems, by affecting and breaking down, besides the pathogens, even the biofilm, a bacterial aggregation that is the natural habitat in which both Legionella bacteria, the cause of legionellosis, and other species of bacteria proliferate. Using chlorine dioxide in disinfection of water has demonstrated to be no less than 10 times more effective against bacteria, algae, fungi and viruses.

Chlorine dioxide is not aggressive toward pipes and its effect is longer-lasting, up to several days, and over a wider area from the injection point, ensuring the treatment of a whole plumbing system, even by using a small amount of product. So, it is commonly used as a ‘dispersive’ treatment which means the chlorine dioxide is dosed into the water system and travels around the entire water system. This ensure a ‘residual’ level of CLO₂ which can continue to kill bacteria in all areas of the system that it reaches and not just at the point of use. This helps to explain why chlorine dioxide is so effective.

Unlike chlorine, there is no formation of potentially cancer-causing by-products during disinfection, and for all these reasons use of chlorine dioxide is safe even for drinking water treatment.

Still, the real challenge remains the risk of legionellosis, one of the main worldwide problems in water disinfection. The LOTUS disinfection systems are thus the EMEC answer to this challenge, offering the safest and the most effective solutions against Legionella bacterium for every application.

PRISMA dosing pumps: the incomparable accuracy of the stepper motor

EMEC is proud to introduce the new stepper motor-driven dosing pump PRISMA, the best solution for offering high-accuracy metering and extreme reliability.

Thanks to the new stepper motor and to the MultiFunction software, PRISMA dosing pumps offer complete control over dosing speeds and working modes as well as great flexibility and repeatability, meeting even particularly complex application needs. PRISMA is also equipped with Level control, Alarms and Stand-by, while available working modes include Constant, Constant with external input, ppm, %, mlq, Pause-work, Weekly, mA, Pulse, Volt, external Batch and manual Batch.
