Monitoring instruments
ITT has announced the introduction of the YSI EcoSense® pH100A, DO200A and EC300A instruments for the measurement of conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, TDS (total dissolved solids), dissolved oxygen, BOD, pH, mV and temperature for the lab or field in environmental and wastewater applications. The instruments feature easy-to-use interface, one-hand operation and IP-67 waterproof case. The new YSI models replace earlier versions of the EcoSense line. YSI was recently acquired by ITT.

Data logger
Onset Computer has expanded its line of conductivity data loggers with the new Hobo® U24-002 Conductivity/Salinity data logger. The new data logger reduces the cost of monitoring conductivity, salinity, and temperature in ocean bays, estuaries, and other salt-water environments while making logger maintenance easier. It features a non-contact sensor to reduce fouling-related measurement errors, easy access to the sensor for cleaning, and a durable Delrin® housing.

Fluorometer
Turner Designs' Enviro-T is a single-channel, in-line fluorometer which provides a 4-20 mA output signal proportional to the relative concentration of chlorophyll fluorescence in the sample water, thereby providing a continuous indication of the algal biomass in the sample water. It installs into a plumbing tee for direct in-line measurements and, when integrated with data collection systems, enables early detection of algal blooms, estimation of algal biomass, and measurement of daily and seasonal fluctuations in the algal community.

Ion specific sensors
The modular S10 Ion Selective Electrode (ISE), Compressor and Analyzer System from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) features the AC10 Air Blast Spray Cleaner designed for sensor self-cleaning and the multi-channel C22 Smart Controller. This flexible system allows process and plant engineers to maintain accurate measurement of multiple common parameters, reduces maintenance cycles and extends sensor life to decrease technician time and reduce plant operating costs.

Venturi flow meters
A line of corrosion-resistant venturi flow meters up to 10 feet in diameter for measuring the rate of flow at all types of water treatment plants is available from Westfall. The company's 2350 Series Venturi Flow Meters are made from fiberglass reinforced 10090 vinyl ester resin and have a stainless steel throat liner and flange. Capable of metering up to 50 mgd flow, the meters are comparable to cast iron flow meters in performance at one-third the cost because they are less expensive to manufacture and weigh considerably less.

Area-velocity flow meter
The new Greyline AVFM 5.0 uses a submerged ultrasonic sensor to continuously measure both velocity and level in channels of any shape. The sensor is resistant to fouling and corrosion. The meter can be configured with the standard submerged velocity/level sensor, or with submerged velocity and a separate non-contacting ultrasonic level sensor. It measures forward and reverse flow, includes a backlit flow rate display, totalizer, three 4-20 mA outputs and two control relays. Intrinsically safe sensors and built-in data logger are optional.

Multi-gas detector
The Ventis MX4 from Industrial Scientific is a small, reliable multi-gas detector. Particularly useful in wastewater settings, users can select a powerful, yet lightweight pump for monitoring in confined spaces, or use the instrument without the pump for continuous personal monitoring during storm and wastewater collection. Additionally, a wide range of sensors are available to ensure safety in a variety of environments.

Microbiological detection
Using a proven enzyme chromogenic substrate method housed within the patented ‘All-in-one' CCA Test Cartridge, the TECTA™ B16 is a bench-top laboratory system for the measurement of E. coli and total coliforms. It replaces the need for a trained microbiologist to prepare water samples or interpret the final test results as it incorporates an on-board incubation system and optical technology to continuously look for the presence of fluorescent markers which indicate a positive microbiological contamination.
