Mobile gas detectors
Would you like to use mobile gas detectors to detect specific sources of danger in an industrial environment? HeylNeomeris offers you the right sensor for your area of application.
Mobile gas detectors are used in companies to measure potentially hazardous gas concentrations in the air and detect them at an early stage. They are used to protect employees, the environment and to comply with safety standards.
The detectors are portable devices that can be carried by employees as required. They are battery-operated and have sensors that can detect different types of gases such as ozone, methane, hydrogen, etc.
Companies throughout Germany use mobile gas detectors in various areas, depending on the specific sources of danger. Mobile gas detectors are used, for example, in industrial plants. In factories and production facilities, the use of mobile gas detectors enables the detection of leaks or unusual gas concentrations in pipes, tanks or other systems.
The detectors can trigger audible and visual alarms if a dangerous gas concentration is detected. This allows employees to react quickly and take appropriate action, such as evacuating the area or shutting down equipment.
You can find a selection of our products (sensors and measuring devices) in our online shop under Gas measuring devices - Heyl Neomeris Shop

Ozone generators
HeylNeomeris as your supplier for ozone generators - equipment technology for the disinfection of water and air as well as for the purification of process water in industry
Ozone generators are used to produce ozone and are extremely powerful and efficient. They are an important component of water treatment and in industry. Ozone generators are used in industrial water treatment, process water treatment and, in particular, in the pharmaceutical industry, where they are used to kill germs and disinfect water and air. Ozone generators therefore enable the disinfection of drinking water and swimming pool water, for example. The advantage of using ozone is its environmental friendliness, the short dwell time in the water and its neutral flavour.
You can find a selection of ozone generators in the HeylNeomeris product portfolio at Ozone and UV technology - Heyl Neomeris Shop .
If you have any questions, you can contact us by phone, e-mail or via our contact form. We look forward to your enquiry.
Residual ozone destroyer
Residual ozone destructors from HeylNeomeris for the reduction of excess ozone
Residual ozone destructors are devices that are used in water treatment to break down excess ozone. Ozone is a reactive gas that can be produced in the atmosphere as well as by some devices such as ozone generators. Ozone destructors destroy the ozone produced before it can be released into the environment.
They work by catalytic decomposition of ozone using special catalysts. Our system consists of a reactor housing, flow internals and droplet separators, Carulite 200 catalyst granulate and electrical trace heating. HeylNeomeris is a supplier of residual ozone neutralisers and offers you a broad product portfolio of catalytic residual ozone neutralisers.

UV systems
HeylNeomeris as an expert and supplier of UV systems
UV systems are used in water treatment to kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts and parasites.The systems work by irradiating the water with ultraviolet light, which destroys the organisms' DNA and RNA and thus prevents them from reproducing. UV disinfection is an effective method of water treatment as it requires no chemical additives and produces no harmful by-products.
UV systems are ideal for monitoring the water quality of water treatment, water blending and drinking water systems.They are easy to install and maintain.However, a precise technical design of the UV system is required to ensure that the UV disinfection does not fail to be effective and that the number of microorganisms is reduced to the desired minimum.
The quality and safety of drinking and process water can be guaranteed with a UV system.You can find a selection of our range of UV systems at UV systems - Heyl Neomeris Shop. In the product area, you will find products for different areas of application. If you have any questions or need advice, please contact us by phone or e-mail.
Calibration solutions
Calibration solutions are used to calibrate measuring instruments to a known reference to ensure that they provide accurate measurements.
HeylNeomeris offers a broad product portfolio of calibration solutions that are used in a wide range of applications, such as analytical chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, environmental analysis and the food industry.
There are various calibration methods for calibrating measuring devices.
A one-point calibration is a calibration method in which a measuring device is calibrated to a known reference by adjusting it to a solution with a known value. A two-point calibration is a calibration method in which a measuring device is calibrated to two known references by adapting it to solutions with two known values.
In one-point calibration, the meter is calibrated to a single point, while in two-point calibration, the meter is calibrated to two points. One-point calibration is easier and faster than two-point calibration, but two-point calibration is more accurate and reliable.
We offer a wide range of calibration solutions in different bottle sizes and disposable bags.

Buffer solutions
Buffer solutions are solutions that keep the pH value stable when acids or bases are added. Buffer solutions are used, for example, in biochemistry, analytical chemistry or formulation.
The HeylNeomeris product portfolio offers a wide range of buffer solutions.
Examples include redox buffer solutions, which are used to keep the redox potential of a sample constant. A redox buffer consists of a redox pair consisting of an oxidation and a reduction component, which are mixed in a specific concentration to generate a defined redox potential. Buffer solutions therefore consist of a conjugate acid-base pair and can keep the pH value of a solution relatively stable. Redox buffer solutions are often used in biochemistry. They ensure that reactions take place at a constant pH value.
Another example of buffer solutions from our HeylNeomeris range are the pH buffer solutions. The pH value is an important parameter when analysing water. It indicates whether a solution is acidic, neutral or alkaline. In pure water or in neutral solutions, the pH value is 7. A pH value below 7 indicates an acidic solution, while a pH value above 7 indicates an alkaline solution. In water analysis, the pH value is measured to determine the quality of the water. The pH value is an important parameter in many technical systems, especially in water treatment. The pH value influences the chemical reactions that take place in the systems and can therefore affect the efficiency of the systems. For example, a pH value that is too low can lead to malfunctions in wastewater treatment plants, as it inhibits the growth of microorganisms that are responsible for the decomposition of organic substances. A pH value that is too high can lead to deposits and corrosion in pipework and other system components. In heating systems, a pH value that is too low can lead to corrosion and damage to the systems. In agriculture, a soil pH value that is too low can impair the growth of plants.
Choose the buffer solutions for your area of application from our comprehensive range, which are available in different bottle sizes or disposable bags.
Stationary gas detectors
HeylNeomeris as your supplier for stationary gas detectors - for measuring gas concentrations and for continuous ozone measurement
Stationary gas detectors are used in companies to ensure the safety of employees and systems. They measure the concentration of gases such as toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, flammable gases and vapours that cannot be detected by the human senses. The detectors alert the worker at an early stage and increase occupational safety.
Stationary measuring devices can be used for continuous ozone measurement in manufacturing companies. They measure the ozone concentration in the air in rooms with ozone generators, residual ozone destructors and ozone treatment systems.
Our ozone measurement device is the Gasmaster III, which is small, robust and ergonomic.

Tradition and future for innovative Water treatment plants Bochum
State-of-the-art measurement and control technology for water treatment, Bochum
Drinking water, process water and ultra-pure water require the most precise control and measurement technology as well as control technology in the water treatment plants. The spectrum of possible technologies ranges from water hardness meters to gas detectors, ozone generators or controls for reverse osmosis systems. And that doesn’t just apply to water treatment in a major city like Bochum.
Throughout Germany, water suppliers comply with DIN 2000 and 2001, the German Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV), and the General Ordinance for the Supply of Water (AVBWasserV).
Some facts about the city and water treatment for Bochum
With a population of around 365,000, it is number 16 among the largest cities in Germany and sixth in NRW. Bochum lies in the heart of the Ruhr region and has “a pulse of steel,” as Herbert Grönemeyer sings in his unforgotten city anthem. With the involuntarily incorporated Wattenscheid, there is a “second city” in Bochum, which alone has more than 70,000 inhabitants.
Bochum’s drinking water pipeline network is 1,162 kilometers long, which – laid straight – would stretch from Bochum to just outside Barcelona. With 22.9 million cubic meters of drinking water, Stadtwerke Bochum supplied almost 200,000 household connections in 2015, plus industrial customers.

Measurement and control technology in water treatment for Bochum
The quality of the drinking water is regularly checked by Westfälische Wasser- und Umweltanalytik GmbH. In addition, analyses are carried out by the city’s Chemical Investigation Office and the Gelsenkirchen Hygiene Institute. Bochum’s drinking water is safe to drink straight from the tap. However, the municipal utility points out that the quality can be affected by the pipe systems in the houses. Homeowners are responsible for these pipes. Old lead pipes, for example, should be replaced. Laboratory tests or rapid chemical tests can provide relevant values in private homes regarding substances dissolved in the water from the pipe system (such as heavy metals), for example with Neomeris measurement technology.
What do the water hardness meters register? In Bochum, the drinking water is soft. The average hardness in Bochum-Langendreer and Werne is 6.9 °dH, while in the rest of the city it is 7.1 °dH (the abbreviation stands for degrees of German hardness). The slight difference can be explained by the fact that the drinking water for Bochum is treated in two different waterworks. Soft water has the advantage that appliances such as kettles, coffee machines or washing machines do not calcify as quickly as with hard water. In addition to calling the water supplier, as a private person the current water hardness can be determined quickly and easily at any time by means of a drop test.
Source and water treatment for Bochum at the Witten waterworks
Where does the drinking water for Bochum come from?
Until a few years ago, Stadtwerke Bochum obtained its drinking water from Stiepel, a district in the south of the city. Now the supply is taken over by two water treatment plants, both located outside the city limits: the Witten waterworks and the Essen-Horst/Burgaltendorf waterworks.
The Witten waterworks is located in the Ruhr valley near the Ruhrauen. It draws its raw water from a 57-hectare water catchment area. Naturally pre-purified Ruhr water is infiltrated into the subsoil through large percolation basins. There, bank filtrate mixes with groundwater and flows down a natural gradient into the waterworks.
How does water treatment for Bochum work at the Witten waterworks?
The first stations are called pre-cleaning and cleaning with the fine screen. If necessary, flocculation is added. The water is then further treated in a sedimentation basin and enriched with groundwater. This is followed by a so-called slow-sand filtration and an underground flow.
After that, a more advanced treatment phase has been taking place since 2017. It is called the “prevent plus” or Schwerter process. This includes ozonation with ozone devices and ozone measurement technology. This is followed by flocculation, multi-layer filtration and grain activated carbon adsorption. Post-treatment proceeds free of any chemistry by physically deacidifying the water and disinfecting it via UV light instead of chlorine. (UV systems as well as ozone generators & measurement technology for water disinfection are part of the wide range of products offered by Neomeris, Hildesheim).
The clean and environmentally friendly treated drinking water flows from Witten to parts of Bochum, Dortmund, Castrop-Rauxel and Herne. The annual volume is around 25 million cubic meters.
The Essen-Horst waterworks operates according to the so-called New Essen Process. It was merged with the Essen-Überruhr waterworks to form a combined waterworks, so that the water passes through many purification stages. Sedimentation, rapid filtration and slow-sand filtration are followed by ozonation using on-site generated ozone, the concentration of which is monitored by ozone measuring technology, flocculation if required and finally multi-layer filtration. Further steps include grain activated carbon adsorption, physical deacidification and disinfection with UV light. Water treatment in Essen is also chemical-free (source: Stadtwerke Bochum). Measuring devices for chemical parameters, as well as all relevant components in the field of disinfection by means of UV and ozone, are supplied by Neomeris.
The drinking water in Bochum is therefore “top”. Industrial companies in Bochum are also supplied with so-called process water. It is not as pure as drinking water, but free of substances that damage industrial plants. Ultrapure water is produced by specialized companies. It is “pure water” and contains neither the calcium nor magnesium found in drinking water. Users include the food, pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries. It is made possible by …
