Collection of SCADA & process control products and services.

Pressure transducer

The new Heise® Model HPK compact pressure transducers, offered by Ashcroft, are available with a choice of pressure and electrical connections. The HPK offers either current or voltage outputs to indicate readings from vacuum through 20,000 psig and absolute ranges to 150 psia. All welded stainless steel construction ensures durability and media compatibility, while an advanced sensor design delivers long term stability and ±0.15% F.S. accuracy. Each pressure transducer is authenticated with a nine-point NIST traceable calibration report. Ashcroft Inc.www.heise.com

Valve control

Singer Valve's Multiple Process Control Panel series (MCP-TP) has the ability to monitor multiple processes and remotely control a dual solenoid control valve based on system conditions. The control panel can function as a simple single loop controller (eg. pressure reducing, flow control, level control) or as a multiple loop controller (eg. flow and pressure, or reducing and sustaining). It reads transmitted signals and energizes the dual solenoid pilots on a Singer control valve. Singer Valvewww.singervalve.com

Peristaltic pump switch

Blue-White® has been awarded a patent for its new Peristaltic Pump Safety Switch. The switch stops the pump when the front cover is removed, and the pump will only operate in maintenance mode (a set RPM) while the front cover remains off, protecting the operator while routine pump head maintenance is performed. This patented safety feature is included on all Blue-White Flex-Pro® and ProSeries-M™ Peristaltic Metering Pumps. Blue-White Industrieswww.blue-white.com

Turbidity analyzers

Triton TR8 Turbidity Analyzers from Electro-Chemical Devices can be used to monitor turbidity in filter backwash systems to optimize plant efficiency. Turbidity is used to monitor the progress of the cleaning, and when the turbidity returns to a value near the turbidity of the clear well water the backwash cycle is stopped. The analyzer operates over a wide measurement range with output available in multiple units: 0.000 to 9999 FNU, or 0.00 to 3000 ppm, or 0.0 to 3.0 g/l, or 0 to 20 percent. The sensor features an error rate of less than 5 percent of reading with repeatability greater than 1% percent of reading. Electro-Chemical Deviceswww.ecdi.com

Ortho-phosphorus monitoring

Reduce chemical costs and meet concentration targets with a ChemScan mini oP for ortho-phosphorus monitoring of sequestrant feed control. A choice where blended phosphate based corrosion inhibitors (poly plus ortho-Phosphate) are used, the monitoring device features a long life LED light source and large I.D. sample tubing to reduce maintenance requirements.

Pump station control

Greyline Instruments has published a brochure on its new Hybrid PSL 5.0 model designed for lift stations, wet wells and storage tanks. The brochure describes the new level controller, which features a new Dual-Technology sensor capability for redundant level monitoring. The controller includes a non-contacting ultrasonic sensor and users also can connect a loop-powered pressure sensor for redundant sensing in applications with foam or grease. The PSL 5.0 will continuously recalibrate the pressure sensor and switch automatically back and forth from ultrasonic to the pressure sensor as required. Greyline Instruments Inc.www.greyline.com

Pump system management

Grundfos Remote Management is an internet-based telemetric system that provides operators with timely information about their pump systems. When an alarm occurs or a value triggers a warning limit the system will send an alarm SMS or email to a mobile phone or computer. Managers can plan on-call schedules months in advance. The schedule determines who is to receive alarms at any given time of the day or night all year round. From a PC, a Smartphone, or a Tablet PC anywhere the recipient can log on to the system and determine the course of action to be taken. Grundfoswww.grundfos.com/water-utility

Monitoring software

Exele Information Systems has announced the release of TopView® 6.14 and the TopView Mobile Web App. The web app provides access to TopView alarms and all monitored data values from mobile devices. Support for any platform with a modern browser allows phone, tablet, and desktop access to tag data and alarms. Users can monitor alarms and data values, acknowledge alarms, filter by alarm category, and even examine tag details. The app runs within the mobile browser but appears and operates like an installed mobile application. Exele Information Systemswww.exele.com

Flow monitoring

Primary Flow Signal offers solutions for accurate open channel and sewage flow measurement in water/wastewater facilities. Its PFS-HN nozzle is designed for open channel flows and provides accuracy even in excessive pipe slope conditions. Configuration of the PFS-HN also allows the nozzle to manage high velocity flows - handling open channel, sewage, or sludge flows. It is a self-supporting solution that can be used for a wider minimum to maximum flow rate range. The accuracy of the device is +/-2.0% of max rate. It can be used with a number of secondary readout devices. Primary Flow Signalwww.primaryflowsignal.com

Transmitter, controllers

Jumo dTrans pH/CR/AS 02 are compact and modular transmitters/controllers that are highly flexible (for example three slots for optional boards) and capable of performing a wide range of tasks. The quality of this series is ensured by production on fully automatic production lines and a final 100% inspection. The extensive spectrum of pH and ORP electrodes, conductivity sensors and accessories allows adaptation to every measuring task. The transmitters feature 4-20 mA and 0-10v signal input for sensors with a standard signal output, such as free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone and hydrogen peroxide sensors, level probes, and pressure measuring instruments. JUMO Process Control Inc.www.jumousa.com

Chemical scale

The IBC Tote Scale™ from Force Flow allows operators to accurately monitor polymer used in the dewatering process when being fed from IBC type totes. Simply place a tote on the platform and monitoring begins. Systems prevent over and under feed conditions and also enable the documentation of amount fed. The scales are available with the advanced Wizard 4000® Digital Indicator, the SOLO® G2 or the Century® Hydraulic Dial. Force Flowwww.forceflow.com
