Pulsonic wins contract to upgrade plants for soft drinks producer

Halifax-based Pulsonic will upgrade plants at Cott’s Pontefract, Nelson and Aberdeen sites.

Pulsonic claims to be at the forefront in designing innovative methods for waste water treatment and monitoring.

The company, which has won a number of awards in the UK and Europe for its technology, recently launched an advanced range of universal smart instruments after three years of research and development.

Pulsonic said this innovative technology sets it apart from traditional industrial instruments by using the same software and powerful processors that are used in the latest smart phones and satellite navigation systems.

It said that this gives customers a smart instrument which has an interface that is as easy to navigate as a computer game. Pulsonic believes that the problem with the industry is that industrial instruments have been left behind in their development over the past few decades compared with consumer products such as mobile phones, sat navs and computers.

The group said that its new instruments will reverse this trend.

Pulsonic’s founder Dr John Duffy said: “It is testimony to the resilience and engineering skills of small UK manufacturing SMEs that during a recession we still keep on inventing, which has been instrumental in taking the UK out of recession.”

He added that this commitment to the development and investment in new advanced products has been key to winning orders from companies such as Cott’s, which require the best technology available throughout their factories.

Pulsonic is in advanced negotiation with a number of UK companies over waste water management schemes.

The company has also seen increased sales from overseas, particularly Mexico, France, China and South Africa.

Pulsonic said its ambition is to become the UK’s leading provider of waste water monitoring and treatment solutions to industry.

It plans to expand its operations in 2014 to meet growing demand for industrial waste water treatment in the UK and Ireland.

Pulsonic was formed in 1993 by Dr Duffy, an academic in the field of piezoelectric and dielectric material science with particular emphasis on medical and industrial non-invasive sensing.

Built on its research and development capability, the company has been at the forefront of innovative products for the water and waste water industries.

The company employs a large percentage of graduate staff.

Pulsonic has three divisions; manufacturing, solutions and services.

The manufacturing division makes instruments for monitoring and controlling liquids and solids in process and waste water industries.

The solutions division uses waste water control systems including pH balancing, pumping stations and waste water screening.

The company claims to be a one stop shop for total solutions in the waste water industry.

“Our highly knowledgeable staff will always give each project the individual attention it requires to offer the most effective bespoke solution to each problem, with the aim of achieving waste water discharge compliance and
effluent bill reduction,” said Dr Duffy.
