Pipeline inspection
The new DigiSewer III side-scan system for pipe inspection uses improved illumination and optics to capture sidewall detail with enhanced clarity. With side-scanning, inspection personnel no longer need to detect defects in live video, and then stop to investigate further. Instead, the system captures detailed visual data for the entire pipe at speeds of 35 to 70 fpm, and then presents multiple views (side, forward, thumbnail and virtual 3D) that can be analyzed offline.

Chlorine analysis
The Hach CL17 Chlorine Analyzer uses colorimetric DPD chemistry to monitor water continuously for free or total residual chlorine which is the same method (Standard Method 4500-Cl G) as used for grab samples. This analysis method is not affected by changes in sample pH, temperature, chlorine concentration (within the measurement range), pressure or flow, thus offering more accuracy than other methods in the market today.

Data radio
Control Microsystems, a Schneider Electric company, has released the Trio ER45e data radio, the latest model in the Ethernet E-Series family of licensed radios. The radios are designed to increase IP communication network reliability and coverage while reducing the cost of deployment and ongoing management. They provide both Ethernet and serial connectivity for the most complex and demanding requirements in Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint (Multiple Address Radio) SCADA and telemetry applications in licensed 450MHz band.

Sodium hypochlorite
The OSEC® B-Pak on-site electrolytic chlorination system from Siemens generates a 0.8% solution through electrolysis of brine -- consuming only water, salt and electricity. Due to the low concentration, the system minimizes corrosion and degradation issues typical of higher strength commercial solutions. In addition, the system exhibits lower operating costs than commercial hypochlorite.

Seawater dechlorination
The new Model DCA-23 Seawater Dechlorination Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) is a low maintenance measurement solution that requires no chemicals to monitor seawater chlorine levels accurately in municipal water treatment applications. The single-purpose analyzer monitors chlorine in seawater from 0.0 to 2.00 ppm. It measures the pH, temperature and Total Residual Oxidant (TRO) of seawater and converts them into an equivalent ppm chlorine value, which is displayed to conform with existing conventions.

Chromium detection
ITT Analytics’ WTW and OI Analytical instrument brands offer a range of measurement options for the detection of the hexavalent chromium (chromium VI) in drinking water supplies. The WTW pHotoFlex Photometer offers a simple portable lab while the pHotoLab 6100 VIS research grade spectrophotometer offers flexibility while minimizing bench space. Chemistry test kits are available in a variety of sensitivity levels and meet the current EPA chromium VI detection limits. The OI Analytical DA 3500 discrete analyzer measures multiple analytes (e.g. chromium VI, phosphate, and nitrite) concurrently, allowing samples to be analyzed immediately upon receipt in the laboratory. This colorimetric chemistry analyzer enables drinking water facilities to analyze samples for chromium VI within 24 hours as required by the U.S. EPA.
