17 February EUROPAZ: ECOLOGICAL ANTI-LIME AND SLUDGE REMOVAL DEVICE
Protect your installation against limestone and sludge is necessary to maintain their effectiveness over time and thus make savings. Today, carrying out water treatment without resorting to the use of chemical products and in an effective manner is possible and even recommended to protect the environment and human health.
about Europe is the specialist in ecological water treatment. Based in Paris, the company has been distributing and installing innovative, high quality and ecological anti-limescale devices throughout France for nearly 20 years.
This company, partner of Takagreen, offers two types of devices:
- A solution to fight against scaling of hot water production equipment for domestic water: the UBF water conditioner.
The treatment of limestone is important to avoid overconsumption of energy and problems with appliance breakdowns. Unlike the salt water softener which aims to eliminate limescale (it replaces part of the mineral calcium salts, useful for health, with sodium, salt), the UBF device causes it to lose its scaling power without the use of any chemicals. To achieve this, the process emits Ultra Low Frequency waves which act on the water and the limestone in order to modify its characteristics, while maintaining the potability of the water. The objective is to change the limestone from the dissolved state to the state of soft, non-encrusting crystals, instead of having hard, encrusting crystals forming scale deposits. The device is suitable for equipping water networks both in residential buildings, in the tertiary sector and for industrial applications.
- A sludge removal solution to act against corrosion and sludge in heating and chilled water networks: the ABC Protect device.
The causes of sludge in installations can be multiple: corrosion, water characteristics, bacteria. The formation of sludge leads to performance problems, premature wear of installations, overconsumption of energy, etc. It is therefore important to put in place preventive and effective solutions to guard against it or to stop sludge and prevent he doesn't come back.
The ABC Protect device is an ecological sludge removal process, a real alternative to traditional sludge removal. Present on the market for almost 20 years, its interest is to eliminate the existing sludge and prevent it from gradually reappearing.
Traditional sludge removal consists of cleaning a network and eliminating existing sludge, whether by sending dispersant chemicals or by sending a mixture of water and pulsed air, or by setting in place of a sludge pot (filter). It is an effective process but it is expensive, requires skills and presents risks, especially with old and fragile networks.
Conversely, the ABC Protect sludge remover has the advantage of eliminating sludge from the network without the need to change the water in the network. It allows the elimination of any chemical product and any polluting discharge. This is the guarantee of no longer polluting the environment and of making significant savings.
These two water treatment solutions offered by Europaz have many advantages.
– without chemistry, without adding product,
– without overconsumption of water and without polluting discharge
– no running costs
– no adjustment, works completely autonomously
– maintaining performance over time
– effective results over time.
Meeting with Anaïs ZIELINSKI, member of the EUROPAZ team located in Paris
Can you present EUROPAZ?
about Europe is a family company, managed by my father Axel ZIELINSKI, which has existed for almost 20 years and which is located in Paris.
Our business, which is constantly growing, is moving in the direction of new technologies, with a concern energy savings et efficiency, without nuisance.
What is our activity?
We are specialized in the ecological treatment of water and distribute throughout France anti-limescale devices for sanitary water networks and swimming pools on the one hand, and on the other hand sludge removal devices for heating networks and air conditioner.
How would you describe EUROPAZ in 4 words?
Ecological – Innovative – Reactive (listening to customers, short deadlines) – Economic (energy savings, no maintenance)
What sets you apart from other actors?
As indicated above, we are a distributor and not a manufacturer, and not being linked to an exclusive manufacturer, we can more easily offer the process that seems to us to be the most suitable for customer needs, depending on the configuration of the water network.
Compared to traditional water treaters who offer chemical processes, we exclusively offer physical treatment solutions, without chemistry.
We market anti-limestone treatment and sludge removal solutions that are: – innovative companies (more recent than the processes usually found on the market: permanent magnets / electromagnets / salt softeners and other chemical treatments),
- efficient and effective over time (about 30 years old),
- without nuisance, without maintenance constraints, without maintenance
- which do not damage the installations because there is no risk of corrosion, no risk of leakage or piercing
- which do not pollute and which preserve the potability of the water
- and who adapt : depending on the extent of the water network to be treated (1 to +500 homes, for example, but also hotels, retirement homes, hospitals, schools, town halls, etc.)
and the size of the pipe diameter (pipe size) where the unit will be installed.
Our offer is personalized.
Our solutions are more efficient and more economical than salt softeners and other chemical processes such as sludge pots for example for heating.
This is how some asset managers put their water softeners out of service in favor of our appliances, which allows them to make significant gains : this is what the Passy Plaza (75016) residence made up of 250 accommodations or the Meridien (75014) which has 520 accommodations have done, for example.
We are also well established in the equipment of buildings, whether private residences or social landlords.
We also count among our clients: the National Assembly. We were approached by the technical department which imposed our devices on the heating operators. Since 2016, we started with a substation. And given the good results, all of the Palais Bourbon substations have gradually been equipped with our devices. We are hopeful that this will serve as an example and allow us to introduce ourselves to the Senate, ministries and even the Elysée.
While hospitals like AP-HP use 100 to 150 tons of salt per year and waste tens of thousands of liters of water per year for rinsing resins with the installation of softeners, it is a real money pit, it's really appalling!
The same goes for many nursing homes.
With the UBF anti-limescale device : we offer a “satisfied or refunded” guarantee for the 1st year, it's the peace of mind of making the right investment.
With the ABC Protect sludge remover for the heating network : we offer a 10 year functional guarantee, it is a duration of exceptional warranty on the market, no other process is efficient enough to offer such a guarantee.
Comes with a manufacturer's warranty, also 10 years, with a lifespan of more than 30 years.
Opting for ABC Protect is the guarantee of no longer polluting the environment by eliminating chemical products and any polluting waste, as well as savings of energy that the device allows to achieve.
Over 17 installations in France are equipped with this device.
Water treatment is a gigantic market where there is still a lot to do.
