Stormwater screening
CDS Technologies uses a non-blocking, non-mechanical screening process to remove and retain floatables and solids from stormwater and combined sewer overflows (CSOs). The system captures and retains 100% of floatables and more than 90% of all sediment as large as course sand. When sorbents are added, the unit also will capture 80% to 90% of free oil and grease found in stormwater. Once captured, debris cannot escape. CDS units have no moving parts and a small footprint.

Endress + Hauser offers the Deltapilot S DB 53A hydrostatic level transmitter for continuous level measurement in wet wells, lift stations, reservoirs, and water remediation. The unit features a Contite measuring cell that is water tight and condensation-free. Hydraulic amplification of the measured signal makes the level transmitter less sensitive to grease and buildup than comparable units. The stainless steel measuring cell tube, along with the Hastelloy cell diaphragm, makes the unit suitable for aggressive media applications. The fully programmable unit operates with 4-20 mA HART® electronic inserts, with linearity and continuous temperature compensation of the fill fluid.

Remote data sensor
The DPR-21 from Telog Instruments collects data readings from a pressure-reducing valve without vault entry. It combines small size, easy installation and Windows® software support. The DPR uses two sensors, one installed in a fitting on the input and one installed in a fitting on the output of the PRV. The sensors measure water pressure once every second, enabling the customer to capture a PRV malfunction. A compact NEMA 6 enclosure houses the data collection equipment, which retrieves the data via a watertight RS-232 connector at the top of the enclosure.
