Arsenic analysis
ASA distributes on-line and portable metals analyzers from Lab21 Environmental. The analyzers can provide real time on-line monitoring of heavy metals including arsenic. Applications include monitoring wastewater discharges to minimize the risks of exceeding consent limits, monitoring river water to immediately identify any sources of heavy metal pollution, monitoring drinking water to protect from potential metal contamination and improving process control through real time feedback. The analysis technology employs Anodic Stripping Voltammetry, which is well proven with some installations running in excess of 12 years. The electrode analysis system has removed the need for any elemental mercury, significantly minimizing potential contamination risks and disposal costs.

Pressure transmitters
The new Ashcroft® GC51 and GC52 gauge and differential pressure transmitters offer an economical alternative to network process transmitters when a digital protocol is not required. The design features an ultra-compact NEMA 4X/IP65 enclosure measuring only 2.65" in diameter. Stainless steel wetted parts accommodate either wet or dry media. The GC51 is available in ranges up to 0-7500 psig and the GC52 offers D/P ranges up to 400 inches of water. A built-in LCD backlit display and a 4-20mA output provide both local indication and remote signaling. The company’s GC series transmitters are ideal for measuring fluid levels in tanks, water towers and across differential pressures membranes in water purification systems.

Screen diagnostic system
JWC Environmental has added a new feature to its line of fine screens with the development of the Monster Blind Diagnostic System (MBDS). This patent pending feature detects the percent blinding factor of a screen and notifies plant operational staff about screen performance. An optional feature, the system can also control additional cleaning steps, such as hot water spray wash or automatic brush adjustment to improve the screen’s operating efficiency. It detects and alerts operators to situations such as heavy solids loading (grease), the need to adjust the cleaning brush (if utilized), or the need to replace spray nozzle(s).
