Lutz-Jesco Showcases Water Treatment Innovations for Africa at IFAT 2025

According to the United Nations World Water Development Report, population growth, urbanisation and economic development in sub-Saharan Africa has produced a demand for water that outstrips the water infrastructure present in many countries of this region. As a result, the bulk of the population of sub-Saharan Africa is suffering from water shortages. Lutz-Jesco argues that modern technologies can support the expansion of such infrastructures. To this end, it is showcasing a number of solutions at the IFAT 2025, a trade fair for environmental technology held in Johannesburg between 8 and 10 July (hall 3, stand B021h).

Exhibiting at the IFAT 2025, Lutz-Jesco will present the new generation of the Memdos Smart stepper motor-driven diaphragm dosing pump. Designed for the dosing of chemicals in water treatment applications – including flocculants, disinfectants and pH regulators – it is deployed in waterworks and industrial and hotel applications. The centrepiece of the pump is a microprocessor-controlled stepper motor which is able to effect a targeted increase in the speed of priming in order to minimise the vacuum phase and thus the pulsation of the supply stream.

“Pump users operating standard motors have previously often been required to purchase expensive accessories such as pulsation dampers in order to bring this negative effect under control”, explains Steffen Roth, Head of Development at Lutz-Jesco GmbH. “This makes Memdos Smart an attractive alternative, which reduces investment costs”.

Available in two sizes with dosing capacities from 2.6 to 182 l/h at pressures of up to 20 bar, the MEMDOS SMART features a 3.5-inch touchscreen for control and monitoring purposes, digital inputs and outputs, and an Ethernet interface for integration in a superordinate control. The compact structure of the device with its removable foot and optional rotated display facilitates its integration in dosing systems.

The Topax MC multi-channel controller: network-readiness for more efficient operation
Lutz-Jesco will also be exhibiting the Topax MC at the IFAT 2025. The multi-channel controller also supports water treatment operations, using its sensors to monitor various water parameters including chlorine, pH value, REDOX and conductivity.

Supports efficient water treatment: the Topax MC multi-channel controller from Lutz-Jesco

Dosing pumps can be controlled via digital and analogue outputs (0/4-20 mA and relay/optocoupler) in order to ensure optimal water quality. Its network capability enables users to access the measured values and device data via a web browser or to send it to a remote maintenance facility.

“The network capability of the Topax MC provides a decisive advantage, especially in African contexts”, says Roth. “The efficient operability of the system in remote areas or in contexts lacking in personnel enables the deployment of maintenance personnel in a far more sparing and targeted manner”.

Vacuum regulator C 2214: safety when dealing with gas cylinders
Lutz-Jesco will also be showcasing its C 2214 vacuum regulator at the IFAT 2025, which increases safety levels when withdrawing chlorine gas, hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide from gas cylinders. Operators of water treatment systems can fit the controller directly to the gas cylinder and connect it to the vacuum line system.

Ensures safe handling of chlorine gas: the C 2214 vacuum regulator from Lutz-Jesco

Should a leakage result in a fall in the negative pressure, the C 2214 closes automatically and prevents an uncontrolled and dangerous release of gas. In the case of an impermissible level of positive pressure, a safety blow-off valve releases the gas via a separate connection.

The automatic shut-off function and integrated safety blow-off valve of the C 2214 vacuum regulator brings additional safety, also in contexts in which the provision of training and technical support can be subject to restrictions”, says Roth. “This makes the system especially suited to deployment in water treatment systems operated in the challenging conditions found in many African regions”.
