At Heation, we are thrilled to share a major breakthrough in industrial process optimization. Our partner, the Swedish tech company CatalyzO2, backed by the Swedish Energy Agency, has successfully concluded the development phase of a groundbreaking new electrochemical dissolved oxygen sensor (DO sensor).
As a proud partner of CatalyzO2, we at Heation strongly welcome this innovation. It directly addresses the process industry’s critical demand for low-maintenance DO sensors and enhanced energy efficiency.
Why Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring Matters
Accurately monitoring dissolved oxygen in water is a vital parameter for precise process control and energy savings across various industrial applications. Reliable DO monitoring is essential for:
- Optimizing aeration processes in wastewater treatment plants.
- Controlling sensitive chemical production environments.
- Preventing corrosion in district heating networks.
Solving the Cost and Maintenance Challenge
Historically, reliable DO measurement methods have been expensive, limiting their use primarily to small-scale environments. Recent market research conducted by CatalyzO2 among technical decision-makers and engineers highlighted a widespread dissatisfaction with the high costs and extensive maintenance requirements of existing solutions on the market.
The HydrO2 Project: A Cost-Effective Solution
Through the HydrO2 project, CatalyzO2 has developed the ultimate answer to these industry challenges. They have successfully created and tested a fully functional, 3D-printed laboratory prototype of an affordable electrochemical DO sensor. The rigorous testing yielded outstanding results in both stability and reproducibility.
At Heation, we are excited about the future of this technology and how it will empower our clients to achieve cost-effective, high-performance water monitoring without the heavy maintenance burden.
