WATER TREATMENT & HYGIENE

MERLIN OFFERS HUMIDIFICATION SYSTEMS ALWAYS WITH MAXIMUM PROCESS RELIABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND HYGIENE.

Our systems work with perfectly filtered and hygienically safe water. The drinking water must be free of dirt, pathogens, germs, viruses and bacteria. Depending on requirements, the water passes through a filtration, water softener, reverse osmosis and disinfection unit.

Pre-Filtration

The water filter combination, including integrated water counter, prevents the particles and suspended solids in the feed water from entering our humidification systems. The filtration unit consists of coarse filtration that can be cleaned by backwashing and subsequent fine filtration – for absolutely reliable protection.

Pre-Filtration

Water softner

To prevent scaling on the high-quality system parts and atomizer jets, water softening is added upstream. An ion exchange process will be used to bring the water that has already been cleaned in the filtration unit to 0° German hardness. Different systems will be used to meet the individual requirements and needs of customers.

Water softener

Reverse osmosis

The reverse osmosis unit is used to demineralize water and is an indispensable part of the overall humidification system in all areas where the presence of minerals is undesired (e.g. pressure and painting applications).

Filtered and also softened water is pressed through a membrane. The result is pure water, the residues are washed down the drain. The special advantage of reverse osmosis is that in addition to removing dissolved minerals, it also separates out bacteria, germs, particles, and dissolved organic substances.

Reverse osmosis units with different liter capacities are integrated into the overall project based on customer-specific requirements. Reverse osmosis can also be used for process water (e.g. for printing machines).

Reverse osmosis

Disinfection

To guarantee the hygiene in the Merlin humidification systems, either a selective disinfection process or an online disinfection process is implemented.

Disinfection

To guarantee the hygiene in the Merlin humidification systems, either a selective disinfection process or an online disinfection process is implemented.

Selective disinfection

Softened water or reverse osmosis water is conveyed under a UV lamp, exposing it to UV light. This renders any existing bacteria, viruses, etc. harmless.

Online disinfection

For online disinfection of the entire humidification system, Merlin uses, for example, the additive chlorine dioxide. Continually adding small amounts of this additive ensures that the entire humidification system – from the feed water to the atomizer nozzle – is kept perfectly hygienic at all times.

zeroX aerosol disinfection

Upgrading your Merlin humidification system

The stationary system zeroX, which can be integrated into existing Merlin humidification systems, is not only a cost-effective way of disinfecting rooms using your existing system, but also enables you to carry out maintenance-required hygiene flushing yourself.
