Visitors to stand B21 can learn about “a major breakthrough in the battle against disease through cross-contamination” – the Dyteqta-System – claimed to be the world’s first dedicated drainage monitoring system.
Developed by Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, and manufactured and distributed by Dyteqta in Hove, Dyteqta- System uses sonar technology to identify the loss of water trap seals in complex drainage systems. Delegates will be able to see the remote testing option via a live demonstration from the company’s stand to a Scottish test site. Maintaining water seals is vital to prevent harmful pathogens and sewer gases passing from drainpipes back into the occupied space. The Dyteqta-System sends a measured sound wave through the pipework, and, if there is any difference between the default and tested signals, this indicates the barrier has been breached. The system is designed for sequential testing so that more critical parts of the building have greater monitoring, and is so sensitive it can identify the loss of a seal or barrier to an individual appliance “even in very complex designs”.
