Safety has to be paramount wherever many thousands of visitors throng through the gates to a venue every day; the same also applies to the world's largest theme park. Major importance is attached to every aspect of safety at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi – irrespective of whether it relates to safety on the roller coaster rides or the safety of clean drinking water.
Boiler feed water plays a critical role in the trouble-free operation of steam generators. As lime and other deposits, as well as biofilms, have an insulating effect, they can significantly impair the efficiency of heat exchangers in steam and hot water systems. Failures and down times, caused by corrosion or efficiency losses caused by deposits and limescale, can be avoided using special systems supplied by ProMinent.
The town of Vohenstrauss can again use its Fahrenberg spring unrestrictedly, thanks to its investment in a fully automatic filtration and UV system. The town, located in the Upper Palatinate Danube Hills region of Southern Germany, installed a state of the art, fully automatic ultrafiltration system (UF system) and a UV system in the high-level tank under the Fahrenberg hill, which came into operation in 2004, both systems now reliably guaranteeing germ-free, clean drinking water.

The brewery uses three complete chlorine dioxide generation and metering systems from ProMaqua.
Employees of swimming pools have been shown in some cases to develop asthma as an occupational illness caused by exposure to trichloramines. However, these guideline values are all in a day's work for ProMinent France S.A., as the swimming pool water supply for the Olympic swimming pool in Dijon is disinfected with ozone technology.
A "Plug&Play" desalination plant by ProMaqua supplies some 75 cubic metres of germ-free drinking water per hour. The exceptional feature is the relatively high salt content of 6.270 mg/l and the high boron content of the feed water. The system, which was custom designed by the Heidelberg based manufacturer, uses several stages to turn undrinkable water into crystal clear, hygienic and perfectly fresh drinking water.
Bottled water is produced in Bulgaria - water treatment systems were unable to prevent microbiological contamination during the bottling process. ProMaqua replaced the existing systems with its own ozone systems and the result is germ-free drinking water of the highest quality.
