Gate required to divert sewage
03 January, 2006Lower Murray Water (LMW) in Mildura required a gate to divert sewage flows to catchment ponds. Darren Bennett from LMW was concerned with the traditional square bottom penstocks that had previously been used to control water flows
Upgrading a wastewater treatment plant
03 January, 2006Cost-effective engineering has enabled the City of Poteau, Oklahoma to achieve major savings while undertaking recent upgrades to municipal wastewater treatment facilities
Activated sludge respirometer
19 December, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.novasys.com.au/The latest version of the Strathkelvin Strathtox respirometer can tell users quickly, simply and clearly when the bacteria should be fed less, aerated less and loaded more in an activated sludge or IDEA treatment plant. This is done by measuring their actual respiration rate.
Contacting conductivity sensors
19 December, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.ams-ic.com.au/BAT Contacting Electrode Conductivity Sensors are offered in a range of temperature, pressure, chemical compatibility and installation configurations.
Mixing solution
19 December, 2005Pulsair is a technology that delivers an efficient, cost-effective, low-shear method of mixing. The system injects a powerful pulse of compressed air (or gas) into the vessel in a way that creates a vertical circular mixing motion and the contents of the tank are quickly blended into a uniform mix. The mixture can be held in suspension with sequentially-timed pulses that require little expense of energy.
Sludge and viscous products heat exchanger
28 November, 2005 | Supplied by: Teralba IndustriesTeralba has expanded its range of Dimpleflo Monotube Heat Exchangers to include an (8") 200 mm inner tube.
Level limit detection in bulk solids
25 October, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.au.endress.com/The storage and handling of bulk materials such as grain, flour and plastic pellets can be a high-risk activity and demands accurate and reliability level limit detection. A poorly designed high level limit switch may cause an overflow or a spill leading to wastage with an adverse financial and environmental impact. On the other hand, unreliable low-level measurements may cause inventory problems that negative affect a company's bottom line.
Low power digital camera
25 October, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.campbellsci.com.au/The CC640 digital camera is a low powered, digital camera designed to operate either standalone or in conjunction with a data logger and telemetry system. As a standalone camera and image storage device, it can operate automatically via an in-built timer or be triggered by an external 5 V source. Images are stored on a flash card for later retrieval by PC.
Transmitter for measurement and control
25 October, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.eutechinst.com/The Eutech Alpha 500 series industrial 2 wire transmitter isolates its input source from its 4-20 mA output to prevent electrical noise and leakage from interfering with the output signal and eliminates crosstalk between multiple transmitters in the same loop to ensure a stable and reliable measurement and control system.
FL-3-H dissolved oxygen meter
25 October, 2005 | Supplied by: Process Control Services Pty LtdEnvironmental Instruments, LLC has introduced its model FL-3-H handheld dissolved oxygen meter. There are no membranes or electrolyte and the sensor is not damaged by direct or indirect sunlight. It is a fast responding handheld DO sensor and the keypad functions are simple to use, and the ABS instrument enclosure is waterproof, dustproof, chemical resistant and floatable.
Backflow prevention
26 September, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.tycoflowcontrol.comThe RP03 and DC03 series of backflow preventers ensure contaminated water cannot flow back into the public mains supply. Using the RPZ (reduced pressure zone) principle featured in Tyco's existing products and with thorough product redesign has further simplified inline service and minimises spares holding requirements.
Multi-channel controller
26 September, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.burkert.com/With a colourful 5" screen, the 1150 controller provides for up to four and even extendible to eight control channels, has a real-time clock with 50 programs to be created via an onboard or remote program editor, has freely configurable in and outputs, multiple internal and external alarm functions, 2 PID parameter sets per channel and many more features. Another important feature is the recorder capability for easy commissioning and trending of quality.
Inductive conductivity and temperature transmitter
26 September, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.practicalcontrol.com.au/The series of JUMO CTI-500 conductivity and temperature transmitters uses an inductive measurement technique to provide virtually maintenance-free measurement of temperature-corrected conductivity from 0-500 micro Siemen/cm to 0-2000 milli Siemen/cm. The temperature measurement range is from 0 to 150°C with a fast response in-stream stainless steel probe and an internal, slower response probe option not in contact with the liquid.
Guardian Plus CO2 monitor
26 September, 2005 | Supplied by: Anri Instruments & Controls Pty LtdA low-maintenance carbon dioxide (CO2) monitor has been introduced for monitoring and controlling atmospheres in enclosed areas.
Borehole pressure transducer
26 July, 2005 | Supplied by: http://www.controlcomponents.com.au/Gems Sensors' 2400 slim line pressure transducer measures 19 mm in diameter and features triple sealing to prevent water ingress and condensation. The unit is designed for use in water industry applications, such as level measurement in bore holes.
