Applications

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis (RO) is the cornerstone of desalination plants. By pushing water through a semi-permeable membrane, RO filters out salts and impurities, leading to top-quality water. Its energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness make RO vital for tackling global freshwater shortages and securing our water future.

Ion Exchange

The system removes undesirable ions like calcium and magnesium and contaminants like lead and nitrates. It softens hard water, preventing scale buildup in piping systems, and ensures safe, palatable water by exchanging harmful ions with harmless ones, improving water quality and safety.

Media Filtration

Media filtration plays a crucial role in pre-treating water for desalination plants by removing suspended solids, silt, and debris. Clean water entering the RO system enhances efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and improves overall water quality, essential for consistent and reliable freshwater production.

Success Story

Plastic Piping Systems Enable a Unique Zoo Experience

Zürichberg, Switzerland

The ELGEF Plus components were easy to install thanks to the electrofusion system and ensured safe and reliable pipe connections. For Zoo Zurich, the durability of polyethylene played an important role. The corrosion-free material does not only lower operational and maintenance costs, but at the same time downtimes in the Masoala Rainforest can be prevented. This benefits both the animals and visitors. Finally, the zoo selected ELGEF Plus due to extensive and positive experiences with products by GF Piping Systems.

FAQs

What are some options for measuring tank levels?

Ultrasonic Sensors: They use sound waves to measure liquid levels by calculating the time it takes for sound waves to bounce off the liquid surface.

Radar Sensors: These sensors emit radar waves to determine liquid levels by analyzing the reflected signals.

Float Sensors: These sensors use buoyant floats that move with the liquid level. They provide visual indications or signals for calculating liquid levels.

How can you efficiently monitor salinity with conductivity sensors?

GF Piping Systems provides digital conductivity sensors for salinity measurement. These sensors include submersible options for tanks and inline sensors for seamless system integration. They are designed to avoid interference from long cables or nearby electromagnetic fields, ensuring accurate readings.

What type of advanced dissolved oxygen (DO) measurement is available?

GF Piping Systems' optical dissolved oxygen (DO) sensors eliminate the need for electrolyte changes and come factory pre-calibrated, requiring no field calibration. This ensures faster startup and significantly reduces maintenance efforts. Features include a 10m cable with stripped and tinned ends and a titanium temperature sensor for better compatibility in saltwater applications
