ProfiLux in Google Headquarters Switzerland

Google-Lounge powered by ProfiLux and Mitras Lightbars [ezcol_1third] The Google Headquarters Switzerland in Zurich provide their employees a gorgeous relaxation room with 5 large aquariums. We are very proud that Google has chosen our products for the illumination and controlling. Obviously Google didn’t want any compromises in regards to quality and security standards. [/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end] [/ezcol_2third_end] For the tank illumination the high-power LED-luminaires Mitras Lightbar are used. Our ProfiLux Aquarium Controllers are utilized (among other tasks) for [ezcol_1third] Light control including effect illumination and simulations pH- and temperature controlling Leakage detection Automatic water changes and Auto-Top-Off Remote monitoring, notifications via SMS and email [/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end] [/ezcol_2third_end] These are several Malawi, Tanganyika and Amazonas tanks, most of them with lots of plants. Here some examples for different light sceanarious: [ezcol_1half]   Daylight [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]   Sunrise / red sky [/ezcol_1half_end]

Mesocosm in Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute

ProfiLux helps to simulate changes in environmental conditions   [ezcol_1third] The mesocosm is an outdoor facility for benthic research (benthos = biotope in or around seabed). The system offers the control and manipulation of several environmental variables while admitting all natural in situ fluctuations. This is achieved by continuously measuring the relevant variables (e.g. temperature, pH, O2, CO2) in situ, defining these in real time as reference values in the control software and simulating target climates by addition of predefined changes (e.g. “warming”, “acidification”) to the reference values. [/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end] [/ezcol_2third_end] GHL products are used for controlling salinity, pH and Temperature. The delta treatments are achieved by using the ProfiLux feature ‘dynamic value’. They also use a GHL measurement cell in each system, furthermore the monitoring over internet, sms alarming and data logging are used. The graph below shows the ‘manipluated’ temperature using the ‘dynamic value’ feature. [ezcol_1half] [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]…

Breeding Zebra fish in Bar-Ilan University

ProfiLux in Genetics Of Musculoskeletal Disease Lab Zebra fish facility   [ezcol_1half] The Zebra fish is a very important and widely-used vertebrate model organism in scientific research. The main reasons for that are its regenerative abilities, its short life cycle and rapid embryonic development, its transparency and above all this, the fact that its genome has been fully sequenced. [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] [/ezcol_1half_end] GHL products are used for controlling water level, pH, conductivity, and temperature. The ‘programmable logic’ is used to obtain steady values of pH and conductivity by controlling the dosing pumps using a combination of timers and sensor readings. Furthermore the Profilux features for automatic water changes, alarms and data logging are in use in this setup.

Benthocosms in Kiel

ProfiLux controllers support scientific experiments about the global climate change Following example shows in an impressive way how science uses one of the numerous special functions of the ProfiLux: The dynamic setpoint control. [ezcol_1half] The average temperatures increase, more and more carbon dioxide dissolves in the water and lets the pH-value decrease, to mention just a few consequences for the seas. The GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel examines the long-term effects for the ecosystem in 12 specially constructed experiment containers, the so-called Benthocosms. In each container is a typical biocoenosis, consisting of bladder fucus, crabs, shells and some other organisms. [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] [/ezcol_1half_end] The scientists expose these biocoenoses to changed environment conditions. In one experiment the actual temperature and pH-value of the Kiel Fjord are measured and the forecasted changes for the temperature and the pH-value for 2100 are added up, then these values are simulated in the…

Mitras LX in Vero Beach Museum

Four of our High-Power LED-lights illuminating a 500 gallon saltwater tank in the Vero Beach Museum of Art (Florida, USA). These photos have been taken during installation,so the water is still a bit cloudy. The tank was installed by our friend Chris Portale from The Fish Store in Fort Pierce.
