Dosing systemsProMinent dosing systems are already standard in the beverageindustry: From caustic soda to flavourings, almost anything canbe dosed with ProMinent® dosing pumps. In combination with ProMinent storage vessels and tanks, the entire operation can besupplied with all necessary chemicals and auxiliary materials.

Measurement, control and sensor technology – DULCOMETER® and DULCOTEST®

The production process is made safer through perfect interaction of measurement, control and dosing equipment from one source.Sensors for pH, redox and conductivity are standard. Special sensorsfor chlorine dioxide, chlorine, chlorite, ozone, peracetic acid andhydrogen peroxide complete the product range.

Chlorine dioxide systems – Bello Zon®

Chlorine dioxide is the economically and ecologically viable alternativeto many conventional disinfectants. Whether in the central water treat-ment, bottle washing, rinser, filler or CIP – chlorine dioxide plants fromProMinent produce and dose chlorine dioxide reliably and protect theentire production process.

Membrane electrolysis – Dulco®Zon Chlorine is produced directly on site by electrolysis – from low-cost,inoffensive common salt. ProMinent® electrolysis plants represent anoutstanding alternative to dosing of chlorine gas or liquid chlorineproducts.

The best products guarantee maximum production safety

UV systems – DulcodesRadiation with UV light produces microbiologically pure water – without use of chemicals. What's more, the radiation also removes any disinfectant residues present, like chlorine dioxide, ozone orchlorine, from the water to be used for product manufacture.

Ozone systems – OZONFILT® and Bono Zon®

Sterile water for rinsing is produced by the addition of ozone. So theglass or PET bottles rinsed with this water are microbiologically clean.ProMinent® ozone plants produce ozone from the oxygen in the air orfrom pure oxygen. Ozonisation is used at two stages in water treat-ment, for removal of iron, manganese, and other contaminants, and for disinfection of the water.

Chemical storage vessels/tanksProMinent storage tanks and vessels guarantee the highest reliability in storage and handling of chemicals. Precisely adapted to the dosingequipment, designed and constructed for each individual use, theystore alkaline solutions, acids and other additives reliably and safely.

Reverse osmosis plants - Dulcosmose®

ProMinent reverse osmosis plants produce the ideal dilution water for fruit juice processing. Reverse osmosis operates completely withoutchemicals and produces ultrapure water for product manufacture.
