Water Bills Threaten Irrigation

Water Bills Threaten Irrigation

Came across an interersting article this morning and thought I would share it. Make the most of your irrigation with a Dosmatic injector.

Dosmatic Introduces MiniDos and SuperDos Peracetic Acid (PAA) Injector Series for 2010. New injectors optimize use of peracetic acid for disinfecting and sanitizing.

Carrollton, Texas – January 22, 2010 – Dosmatic U.S.A. / International, Inc. (www.dosmatic.com), the technology leader in non-electric, fluid-driven, proportional injectors and dispensing pumps, introduced today its new MiniDos and SuperDos injectors for use with peracetic acid (PAA). This series includes the (MiniDos 12 GPM, 0.4%), (SuperDos 20 GPM, 0.3%), (SuperDos 30GPM, 0.3%) and (SuperDos 45 GPM, 0.3% models). 

Increasingly, professionals are turning to peracetic acid for disinfection, sterilization and microbial control, using it to sanitize food and food service equipment, treat and purify water, prevent bio film formation and kill Legionella bacteria, among other applications. Peracetic acid kills microorganisms through oxidation and the subsequent disruption of their cell membranes. It can damage almost all types of macromolecules associated with a microorganism, leading to cell lysis and true microbial death. However, the oxidizing properties that make peracetic acid so effective also present challenges to the delivery systems used to dilute and dispense it.

In response, Dosmatic’s new MiniDos and SuperDos PAA injectors offer an appropriate and cost-effective dispensing system coupled with the largest flow ranges on the market. To protect dispensers from chemical damage, Dosmatic PAA injectors are designed with Kalrez^® O-rings and seals. In addition, a Teflon^® chemical induction tube has been added, which further strengthens and protects the injection system.

 “PAA is one of the strongest oxidizing agents and fast becoming the dominant food and surface sanitizer in use today,” noted Tony Abrams, North American Industrial Sales Manager for Dosmatic. “Our new PAA series addresses the need for a simple, accurate and affordable solution to PAA dispensing.”

“We tested other, less-expensive seals but kept coming back to the Kalrez option because nothing else resists the aggressive, corrosive nature of PAA like it does,” Abrams added. “With effective plant sanitation critically important to a facility’s food safety net, plant managers need a practical, flexible PAA or other disinfectant dispensing system that will be operational day in and day out.”

Dosmatic's PAA injectors also take advantage of patented mixing chambers, which employ a one-way gasket, prevent chemical contact with the motor piston and reduce motor wear. Proportional injection and this pioneering mixing chamber ensure a precise mixing of water and injected chemical. What’s more, PAA models in the MiniDos and SuperDos injector series can adjust injection ratios while in operation and accommodate flow ranges up to

45 GPM (205 l/m).

Because of differences in plant operations and the PAA concentrations they use, Dosmatic consultants first determine each customer’s application, concentration and requirements before recommending any Dosmatic PAA injector. Like all Dosmatic^® products, its PAA injector series is backed by a limited three-year warranty — the best in the industry.
