inge GmbH – now part of BASF – launches ‘inge System Design’ software to design and plan UF systems
The German company inge GmbH – widely regarded as the global leader in the field of ultrafiltration technology – hundred percent owned by BASF and part of its Water Solutions business – has launched an innovative software tool to accompany the ultrafiltration modules and membranes developed and produced in-house.
- (1888PressRelease) December 17, 2011 - Known as ‘inge System Design’ and developed by inge’s own researchers, the software program speeds up the process of designing professional ultrafiltration systems.
Greifenberg, 16.12.2011 – The planning and design of ultrafiltration systems has just become a whole lot easier thanks to the new ‘inge System Design’ software program developed by the ultrafiltration specialists at inge GmbH. By entering key data such as water type, water quality and treatment capacity, users can run through a few simple steps to obtain a basic outline of the required configuration to meet their needs. To make the specifications more detailed, users then have the option of modifying further parameters – for example the number of racks, filtration flux, filtration and backwash times. The software enables users to experiment with multiple variants in a range of operating scenarios to find the optimum design.
The new software developed by inge offers customers some outstanding features that are not available in any conventional products – for example enabling users to calculate the quantities of chemicals and energy required by the system and adapt the metering pump design to the water quality and the desired target pH value. This provides the flexibility to tailor the system to the customer's individual needs. Programmed in Visual Basic, “inge System Design” is extremely user-friendly, making it the perfect tool for project design and plant construction.
Patrick Buchta, the Head of Applications Engineering at inge GmbH, who was responsible for developing the program, explains the concept behind this new tool: “As a technology leader, we are continuously striving to improve our service offerings. That applies not only to our products, but also, just as importantly, to our technical support. We have developed this system design tool to maximize the professional end-to-end support we provide to our customers – from the planning stage all the way through to the construction and operation of the complete ultrafiltration system.”
