UCMR3 methods

MWH Laboratories has introduced new methods allowing utilities across the U.S. to proactively address anticipated chemical monitoring needs under the EPA's third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR3). The lab offers methods addressing the EPA's proposed rules, anticipated to affect more than 4,800 public and private utilities across the country. The proposed plan would require utilities to monitor for up to 28 unregulated contaminants.

Free chlorine sensors

The new FCL400 series free chlorine sensors from Sensorex feature amperometric measurement technology. Designed for use in water treatment disinfection applications, these sensors are available in several ranges for detecting ppm levels of free chlorine. Choose the FCL402 for 0-2 ppm, FCL405 for 0-5 ppm and FCL410 for 0-10 ppm of free chlorine. Sensors provide an isolated 4-20 mA output signal. Membrane cap and fill solution are easily replaced to maximize sensor life.

Electromagnetic flow meter

McCrometer has introduced the FPI Mag™ (Full Profile Insertion) Electromagnetic Flow Meter. The new meter is the successor to the company's Multi-Mag Insertion Flow Meter, which is the industry's only multi-electrode hot tap full profile insertion flow meter delivering a continuous total flow profile similar to a full-bore mag meter. The enhanced design of the new meter features additional sensing electrodes for increased sensitivity and is now packaged in a 316 stainless steel sensor body for maximum structural integrity.

Aeration, mixing

The Reliant Water Technologies' Model WQA was specifically designed to operate in shallow (5' to 12' deep) ponds and lagoons to provide aeration and de-stratification with a minimum of energy. This patented water moving and aeration system requires only 5' of water to operate. It continuously moves all the water within a five acre pond or lagoon. The water movement helps to break up the bottom's toxic dead zone, allowing for the ammonia and nitrogen components trapped there to rise and naturally dissipate through oxidation.

Area-velocity flow meter

The new Greyline AVFM-II uses a submerged ultrasonic sensor to continuously measure both velocity and level in open channels, partially full sewer pipes and surcharged pipes without a flume or weir. The sensor is resistant to fouling and corrosion. It can be configured with the standard submerged Velocity/Level sensor, or with submerged velocity and a separate non-contacting ultrasonic level sensor. The meter includes flow rate display, totalizer, three 4-20 mA outputs and two control relays.

Control valves

Singer Valve recently launched 6" and 8" S106 full port rolling diaphragm operated control valves to expand its existing line that currently includes sizes from 10" to 36". The rolling diaphragm design can help reduce water loss and leakage in changing flow systems. The design features a vertical diaphragm that rolls while opening and closing, enabling it to lock the valve in place without any friction. This allows for improved pressure stability from the highest to the lowest flows.
