Dosing System on Skid (Biotalys)
The customer
Biotalys is an AgTech company that protects crops and food using its proprietary protein-based biopesticides, aiming for a more sustainable and safer food supply.
Purpose
Automatic Neutralization of Contaminated Water for Reduced Waste, Increased Efficiency, and Enhanced Safety.
Problem-solution
During the production process, condensate water containing mold spores is released and cannot be discharged into the sewer. Previously, an operator manually added a neutralizing substance, which was time-consuming, less safe, and sometimes wasteful due to inconsistent dosing.
The customer wanted to automate this process and had already envisioned a concept. Our CGK team provided expert advice and handled the 3D design, full system development, assembly, transport, and commissioning.
For this project, we opted for a skid-mounted installation, where all components (tanks, pumps, piping, automation, etc.) are pre-installed on a single frame.
Why a skid system?
✔ Faster installation than assembling separate components on-site
✔ Cost-efficient, reducing transport and installation time
✔ Pre-assembled in our workshop, minimizing on-site work and travel
For the electrical integration, we collaborated with our trusted partner.
System Components & Features
On the skid frame, we installed:
- Two 100L Astro tanks for wastewater collection
- An automatic pump for mixing the neutralizing agent
- A pneumatic pump to discharge neutralized (non-hazardous) wastewater into the sewer
- A sensor system for real-time monitoring of the neutralizing agent levels
- Leak detection with a drip tray beneath the entire system
- A stand-alone PLC system controlling the entire process flow
- Fully automated operation via touchscreen & Manual operation available for maintenance tasks
- Data Logging & Alarm System
✔ Complete process monitoring
✔ Configurable alarm lists for error detection
Result: A Fully Autonomous & Compact Solution
