FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In which areas does Klarwin Hungary Ltd. provide solutions?
Our company deals primarily with water treatment, wastewater treatment, leachate treatment, water-loss monitoring and air quality monitoring technologies. We also offer digital sustainability and IoT-based monitoring solutions.
What types of water treatment systems do you offer?
Our solutions include drinking water treatment systems, industrial and municipal wastewater treatment technologies, as well as specialised leachate treatment equipment.
What is leachate?
Leachate is the highly polluted liquid that forms in landfills and requires specialised treatment. Proper treatment is particularly important for protecting the environment and groundwater.
What are the advantages of containerised water treatment systems?
Containerised systems can be deployed quickly, are mobile, scalable and require minimal on-site infrastructure. They can be an ideal solution for temporary or urgent water treatment tasks as well.
What does water-loss monitoring mean?
The aim of water-loss monitoring is to quickly detect and locate hidden leaks in drinking water networks. With the help of intelligent sensors, network losses and operating costs can be significantly reduced.
How does the Gutermann leak detection system work?
The system monitors the network using acoustic sensors and automatically analyses noises that indicate leaks. The digital platform supports the localisation of faults and rapid intervention in real time.
What parameters can the Oizom monitoring system measure?
Oizom systems are suitable for the continuous monitoring of, among others, PM1, PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, BTEX, H²S, NH³, SO², NO² and other environmental parameters.
In what areas can air and odour monitoring be applied?
Our solutions can be used at waste-management facilities, wastewater treatment plants, industrial plants, energy facilities and in urban environments alike.
Do you also deal with water reuse?
Yes. Our state-of-the-art membrane technology systems make it possible to reuse treated water for technological, industrial or even irrigation purposes.
Do you provide service and operational support?
Yes. In addition to installing the systems, we also provide our partners with long-term service, maintenance and operational support.
Are remote monitoring and digital monitoring solutions available?
Yes. Our technology works with cloud-based data collection, digital reporting and remote monitoring, so the status of the systems can be tracked in real time.
Water management
What is integrated water management?
Integrated water management means the coordinated and sustainable management of water resources, taking into account residential, industrial, agricultural and environmental needs alike. The aim of the modern water management approach is not only to ensure an adequate water supply, but also to preserve water resources in the long term and to manage the effects of climate change.
Modern water management places increasing emphasis on water retention, water reuse and the use of intelligent monitoring systems.
Why is reducing water loss important?
Hidden leaks in drinking water networks can cause significant amounts of water to be lost. Network water loss is not only an economic problem but also a serious environmental and sustainability challenge.
With the help of intelligent leak monitoring systems, faults can be detected at an early stage, reducing water loss, the number of network failures and operating costs.
What does water reuse mean?
In the course of water reuse, properly treated wastewater or process water can be reused for various industrial, technological or irrigation purposes. This can significantly reduce the use of fresh water and the burden on the environment.
Modern membrane technologies – such as ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) – make it possible to produce even very high-quality reused water.
Industrial water treatment trends
Why are membrane technologies spreading ever more rapidly?
UF- and RO-based membrane technologies have become one of the most important water treatment solutions of our time. They make it possible to efficiently remove suspended solids, bacteria, salts and various micropollutants. The advantages of the technology are its compact design, automation capability, high treatment efficiency and the possibility of water reuse.
Why is industrial water recirculation becoming increasingly important?
For industrial facilities, water is becoming an ever more valuable resource. Water recirculation can reduce water procurement costs, wastewater discharge and the environmental burden.
Alongside sustainability and ESG expectations, more and more industrial players are striving to reuse their process water partly or entirely.
Technology explained
What is UF (ultrafiltration)?
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane-based water purification technology capable of removing suspended solids, colloids, bacteria and certain viruses and other microbiological contaminants from water. The pore size of UF membranes is typically between 0.01 and 0.1 micron, so they provide an effective pre-treatment or stand-alone water treatment solution in many industrial and municipal applications. UF systems often act as a pre-treatment step ahead of RO systems, but they can also be used as a stand-alone water treatment solution.
What is RO (reverse osmosis)?
Reverse osmosis is a highly efficient membrane technology used to remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, micropollutants and other components. With RO systems, water of even drinking water quality can be produced from industrial or wastewater-derived water.
What is remote monitoring?
Remote monitoring systems make it possible to continuously track various pieces of equipment and environmental parameters in real time. With the help of IoT-based data collection and cloud-based analytics platforms, operators can respond to faults more quickly and optimise the operation of their systems.
Basic concepts
What is leachate?
Leachate is the highly polluted liquid formed in landfills, originating from rainwater seeping through the waste and from the moisture content of the waste itself. The treatment of leachate requires specialised technology because of its high ammonia, salt and organic matter content.
What is water loss?
Water loss is the volume of water that, due to network leaks, pipe bursts or other technical problems, does not reach consumers. With the help of intelligent monitoring systems, these losses can be significantly reduced.
What does network monitoring mean?
Network monitoring means the continuous supervision and data collection of the state of drinking water or other utility networks. Intelligent sensors make it possible to detect hidden faults early and to intervene more quickly.
What is odour monitoring?
The aim of odour monitoring is the continuous tracking and analysis of unpleasant odour effects in industrial or municipal environments. Modern digital systems are able to measure odour effects in real time and support environmental compliance.
What does IoT-based monitoring mean?
IoT (Internet of Things)-based monitoring provides automatic data collection and real-time remote monitoring with the help of intelligent, networked sensors. Such systems enable faster decision-making and more efficient operation.
ESG concepts
What does ESG mean?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance, and is used to assess the environmental, social and corporate-governance performance of companies. The ESG approach is playing an increasingly important role in corporate operations and investment decisions.
What does sustainable operation mean?
The aim of sustainable operation is the efficient use of resources and the reduction of the environmental burden, while at the same time ensuring long-term economic operation.
Why is environmental monitoring important from an ESG perspective?
Continuous monitoring allows companies to measure, document and optimise their environmental impacts. Digital data collection supports ESG reporting and more transparent operation.
What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions of an organisation, technology or activity. Companies are placing ever greater emphasis on reducing and quantifying their emissions.
What is data-driven operation?
In data-driven operation, operational decisions are made on the basis of real-time measurement and monitoring data. This enables faster fault detection, more efficient operation and lower operating costs.
