CTS ensures that your system is designed for your requirements.  With our years of experience, we not only install, but also service and maintain the equipment today, and in the years to come.

With our extensive knowledge in sterilization and infection control, CTS installed suitable autoclaves with BSL3 seals.  In addition to the autoclaves, an effluent treatment system was also installed.  This system collects the effluent from the autoclaves, sinks and wash basins, and collects it in one tank.  Once a certain level has been reached, a second tank will collect the effluent, while sterilization begins in the first tank.  In this way, collection of the effluent is not delayed whilst sterilization is being performed in one of the tanks.  Through this system, the highest level of decontamination is achieved, ensuring a safe environment.

CVL is classified as a BSL 3 laboratory.  BSL 3 means a biosafety level of 3.  This is a level of bio-containment precautions, required to isolate dangerous agents, which may cause serious diseases.  This includes various bacteria, viruses and parasites.  CVL required autoclaves with a BSL3 seal approval, as well as an effluent treatment system, to decontaminate a wide range of aqueous liquids.

CTS was awarded the tender to supply, deliver to site, installation, testing and commission of two autoclaves and an effluent treatment system for CVL.

In early 2017 Stier Vente Chartered Accountant did take the decision to move to renewable energy. A 17kW grid feed system was installed on the roof of the office building to reduce the monthly electricity bill.

A total of 67 260W PV modules and a SMA SunnyTripower 17kW inverter was installed. Remote monitoring allows CTS to advise the client on possible faults and recommended actions to be taken.

Ministry of Agriculture through, through SASSCAL funding, did acquire 3 automatic weather stations in 2018 which where finally installed in 2019 after sites have been determined. These stations from part of the existing SASSCAL weather station network that has been established over the past years. All stations conform to SASSCAL requirements and are inline with WMO standards.

The stations are installed at :

• Dudukabe (Zambezi)
• Okalongo (Ohangwena)
• Omafo (Ohangwena)

Station info can be obtained from www.sasscalweathernet.org

CTS was successful in winning the tender for the refurbishment of the transformer oil storage plant at the van Eck Power station. The project included the following:

1. Cleaning and painting of all oil tanks
2. Automating the entire plant
3. Installation of oil filtration system

Old as well as new transformer oil is stored in different tanks. Color codes on the tank clearly indicate what type of oil is stored in each tank. Old oil – oil removed from transformers during service – is stored until enough has been collected before it is sold.

Clean/new oil is stored in the other thanks that will be used for refilling transformers during routine services. Humidity tends to form inside the oil when it is stored for longer periods. This humidity as well as other dirt particles are removed my means of the Alfa Laval Oil Filtration plant. The process is fully automated and PLC controlled. The operator merely is required to enter the quantity of oil that is to be filtered.

Radar level sensors are installed in each tank to monitor quantity on hand. Maintenance free breathers on each tank prevent access of water moisture into the tank and the buildup of dangerous gases.

A Coriolis custody transfer meter accurately indicates the quantity of old oil the is transferred to third party tankers for selling purposes.

When A La Mer Hotel in Swakopmund decided to expand, they approached CTS with a unique challenge: to create a functional laundry that was both energy and water efficient, and would also fit into a small space, while being whisper quiet, so as not to disturb any guests. In addition, the laundry has to perform excellently, producing quality wash, tumbling and ironing results. Only one brand came to mind: Miele.

Miele recently launched new bench mark machines, which have short program cycles, excellent spin performance, a redesigned patented honeycomb drum and have low consumption values. A La Mer Hotel was the first in Namibia to purchase these new machines.

CTS installed washer extractors with water recovery units, as well as automatic dosing systems, to ensure the best quality wash, every time. The tumble drier has an air recycling system, saving up to 60% of energy. And with a matching drying ironer, optimum finishing results are achieved. Small accessories made this laundry a complete turn key solution.

Three localities in the Otjozondjupa region where successfully electrified by means of Off-Grid PV containers. The system sizes varied from 6kW, 12kW to 25kW of PV power. PV modules where installed on roofs of nearby houses, batteries, inverter/charger and switchgear are located in our proven design of prefabricated containers to keep the components cool, even in the hottest of climates.

The system is an AC coupled PV system with SMA Sunny Island (SI 8.0) inverter and SunnyBoys of various sizes. Communication between all components is based on a wireless RS485 solution from Phoenix Contact with a distance covered of 1.5km.

Sites that were electrified in the Otjozondjupa region are:

• Rooidag Hek 
• M’Kata
• Kukurushe
