We are aware of the worldwide water stress, and many operational, social, safety and environmental challenges caused by poor water quality and water scarcity. We invite your organization to join our Water Management Management partnership programs in 2009. These programs entitled "Get more out of Water", will help you solve specific water management challenges related to water quality, water-efficiency and water risks. We help you to start managing your raw, treated, recycled, and waste water resources more efficiently.

Every "Get more out of Water" water management project is unique and managed by a select group of experts and professionals. Each project is unique. We help businesses and their supply chains identify and solve problems. We deliver customized water management solutions, from  unique information management platforms to technologies that manage water management information, enable colloaboration, and analyze liquids, illustrate the timing, causes, effects, trends, and problems of minor to major concerns.

We guarantee that each "Get more out of Water" project will boost your bottom line profits, reduce water waste and mitigate water risks in your operations and supply chains.

"Get more out of Water" management projects are affordable even for SME's with limited budgets, and ME's, organizations and communities with global reach. Each water management program is customized to meet specific requirements. They are easy to implement and execute, while we do most of the work for you.

You will learn how to:

• Save freshwater in your operations and supply chains;

• Communicate qualified information to your water management professionals and teams effectively;

• Manage your resources more efficiently;

• Minimize water risks across your operations and supply chains;

• Reduce pollution and waste;

• Optimize the use of materials, chemicals and energy in your operations and industrial process.

• Reap the benefits of over three decades of water management experience and know-how. 

• Join industry specific water management programs to save money and reduce water management costs.

• The research into the applicability of the technology to the water source.
• Piloting the system in environmental or industrial monitoring.
• Installing measurement units in the selected sites and developing specific measurements.

• To establish the pilot plant based on the research work.
• Creating real-time remote monitoring connections for the group of users and to give them user training.

• To identify areas into which the Liqum® technology may be expanded.
• Productize the system and approve it into authorities’ use.

• We will initiate, implement and manage a one-year (12 months) water quality research project in your water source(s).

• We will research, develop and customize the required system features according to your specific needs. The most suitable sensor materials to measure are selected according to the research results.

• We will install an agreed number of real-time water monitoring systems in key places across your location.

• We will provide user training and develop new features according to your specific needs of the selected measurement sites, give ongoing online monitoring support, instant analysis and reports to you and all key partners.

• The monitoring system will provide real-time data on the water quality of the selected sites. Each site will also send reference samples to your local labs and Liqum’s lab located at the Institute for Environmental Research in Jyväskylä, Finland. This way the program will receive accurate and comparable analytical measurements from all the application sites.

• We will establish research and development collaboration between the research institutes in your country, and in Finland.

• You and your key partners will reap the benefits from the unique, most advanced and effective real-time water quality monitoring system in the world.

• Scientific publications could be written on how to make use of electro-chemical process control, and environmental monitoring.

• The result of the program would be a new practice on how to control your water-related processes with electro-chemical measurements in a more simple way using less water, chemicals and energy.

• Real-time electrochemical online monitoring system also enables training people from multidisciplinary fields of water management, and research institutions.

• Savings. Substantial reduction of water, chemical and energy usage, labor-intensive field sampling and measuring campaigns, as well as fewer errors during data collection and transcription of results.

• NEW Phenomena. The temporally and spatially dense data provided by these technologies is expected to reveal previously unobservable phenomena.

• Water-Efficiency. The action should lead to strengthening your industrial competitiveness

• Risk Management. Secure safe and best possible water quality at all times.

• Opportunity to test Liqum® real-time electrochemical water technology at a reduced rate for a full year

• Makes polarization curves and tests for substances specified by the customer

• Manufacture of special receptors to provide a custom solution

• Provides testing, research and know-how needed for the selection of the receptors

• Measurement unit installation at the first application locations

• Installation of test servers and remote user interface programs, 1-10 computers

• One-on-one user training for 3 days, 1-6 persons

• Ongoing assistance in analyzing the test results

• Two measurement systems with 12-channel electro-chemistry measurement units
• Server computer
• Software
• Special receptors as needed
• Equipment and software for wireless data transfer to the server

• Dramatically lower cost than other techniques. Electrochemical reactors normally do not require moving parts, and thus are mechanically simple, and of relatively low maintenance.

• Energy Efficient. Electrochemical processes are not subject to some limitations inherent to other processes.

• Environmental Compatibility. Electrons are clean reagents per se.

• Versatility. The same electrochemical monitoring system can often be used for many industries and water-related applications.

• Ease of Automation. The main variables in electrochemical monitoring systems are ideally suited for process automation, optimization, monitoring and control.

• Friendly Requirements. Contrary to other techniques or processes real-time electrochemical monitoring technique does not require chemicals, high temperature or pressure.

• Selectivity. An adequate combination of experimental conditions and reactor characteristics can be selected to prevent or minimize energy, waste, or by-product generation. Such by-products not only mean a waste of materials, but also introduce additional difficulties for their separation and/ or disposal.

• Maturity. Since 2000, we have tested Liqum Water Quality Monitoring System and Water-Efficiency Management Software (WEMS) in many key industries, and in the environmental area with great success.

• Our unique, patented, time-tested water technology has been developed in 1999 – 2003 during three different projects of the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation with the Finnish forest industry and a network of subcontractors. In 2004-2006 the same technology was applied and developed for the worldwide minerals and metals processing industry. Since 2005 our water technology has been tested in environmental monitoring, for example monitoring lakes, cities’ waterworks, in industries across the Europe and Americas.
