CVS part:
CVSmart®: Laboratory CVS analyser. Our most popular CVS (Cyclic Voltametry Stripping) analyzer. This unit is available in manual mode or with automatic dosing of the reagent during the analysis of your organic plating additives. The CVSmart® is using a three electrodes system to perform the CVS analysis :
- An adjustable speed rotating electrode with a platinum tip as a working electrode
- An Ag/AgCl reference electrode
- A Platinum wire as an auxiliary electrode
The unit is capable of analysing the three different additives from your plating baths :
- Suppressor (Carrier, Wetter or Leveler)
- Brightener
- Leveler
Thanks to its compact design, the CVSmart® saves room on your laboratory bench and with its carry-on trolley can be moved easily to different sites.
DOSmart®: The DOSmart® works together with the CVSmart®.
Automatic delivery of:
- VMS
- Intercept Solution
- Support Electrolyte / Solution
- Calibration and Bath Sample Solution
- Standard Solution of Brightener and Leveler
Automatic preparation of:
- Intercept Solution and Support Electrolyte / Solution
T100: Multiple Samples CVS Analyzer. This is our Lab CVS analyser, which is designed to allow the process of multiple samples. The unit can perform the CVS analysis up to 17 samples depending on the application. The T100 is completely automatic during the run of the analysis. Once the operator prepares the different solutions (Reagents and Samples) the unit will do all the analysis without any human action. The T100 will analyze the Carrier, Brightener and Leveler of your plating baths.
LineSmart®8000: It is an electrochemical analyzer for online monitoring. It automatically and continuously analyzes organic additives to ensure your chemical process control. The LineSmart® 8000 is our latest CVS (Cyclic Voltametry Stripping) system. This unit is designed to monitor continuously the organic additives of your electroplating bath. The LineSmart® 8000 is all-in-one equipment with its three electrodes system, pumps, precise auto dosing syringes units and valve. The unit is fully controlled by PC and PLC which makes the operators only check the results of the CVS analysis. It can also be linked to the line PLC and therefore optimize the replenishment of the additives. This instrument analyses automatically and continuously the organics additives as well as Copper, Sulfuric Acid and Chloride directly from the plating line. The LineSmart® 8000 series is the perfect tool to ensure constant online chemical process control. With this CVS device, you will always be in control of your additives.
UV part: Our solutions ® (technologies) are patented
Microspear®: Designed to be integrated directly into baths and tanks. This allows for extended contact time for increased efficiency. Microspear® allows disinfection below the water level. There are three versions (from 15 W to 120 W) to adapt to all types of configurations. Our fixed system is independent and submerged.
Microfloat®: Developed to be integrated directly into the tanks. This allows for a prolonged contact time for increased efficiency. Microfloat® allows 360° disinfection below and above the water level. There are two versions, which makes it possible to adapt to all types of configurations, with open or closed tanks. Our floating system is independent and regulates itself according to the water level.
PPH or PEHD UV®reactor: Specially designed for Chemical / Plating applications_ solutions adapt to your objectives to treat a very wide range of flow rates (1 to 2 000 m3/h) and a wide spectrum of solutions. They serve to disinfect industrial process water (rinsing, washing, recycling, etc.), water before discharge or even storage water. You can connect our reactors to your electrical cabinets (with dedicated ballasts) or we can provide you with a “turnkey” system (cabinet + installation).
Stainless steel UV reactors: The stainless steel reactor range can respond to a wider spectrum of issues and be used in specific sectors (food industry, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, etc.) and difficult conditions (T°C, pressure, material compatibility, etc.). It can also be used for the production of ultra-pure water and equipment protection (osmosis, filtration, etc.). Advantage: approval of material and UV sanitary conformity for water purification and drinking water treatment (spring water, borehole water). Flow rate up to 2 200 m3/h
ACS® UV reactor: Capable of treating up to 1,000 m³/h of water.
Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP): The water treatment of rejects and industrial effluents is a major issue for industries in a very regulated context. In order to eliminate the most resistant and harmful molecules, such as cyanides or complexants (for metals or organics), the treatment by Advanced Oxidation (AOP) remains the most effective and economical. Our solution of Advanced Oxidation (AOP) associates the use of UV radiation with the hydrogen peroxide H2O2. (The best oxidant and the most powerful) Unlike disinfection, the UV power used for this application is much higher, reaching several kilowatts, thanks to our patented UV reactors using the RECO technology. This solution, turn-key and easy to use, also contributes to the optimization of the environmental approach for industrial companies.
