Valve controller

The Hexacon™ Model II control system quickly closes up to six Eclipse™ actuators on toxic gas cylinder and ton container valves by remote contact switches. The Model II microprocessor system applies 30 foot-pounds of torque for test closures and 50 foot-pounds of torque for emergency closures of cylinder valves.

Air/vacuum valve

The Air/Vacuum Valve from Larox Flowsys automatically exhausts large volumes of air from the system while it is being filled with slurry. When the contamination is being emptied, air displaces the fluid and re-enters the pipeline to equalize pressure. It prevents discharge of the medium to keep your work environment clean and safe. When the system is filled and operating, the fluid lifts the ball until it closes the orifice.

Centrifugal pumps

Vanton’s Sump-Gard® model SGK-2700 thermoplastic centrifugal pump handles flows to 1200 gpm at heads to 200 ft, making it ideal for fume scrubbers and other applications in which caustic and acidic chemicals are transferred. All wetted components are molded of solid polypropylene, PVDF or CPVC to eliminate chemical attack associated with pumping of aggressive chemicals while minimizing abrasion.

Clarifiers

Hi-Tech spiral blade clarifiers offer the optimum in sludge removal and effluent quality. The spiral design moves sludge to the hopper more effectively than a standard scraper style clarifier mechanism. The clarifiers can be fitted with an energy control well and/or a density current baffling system. All features combined help to promote fast settling, quick sludge removal and an overall better effluent. Each clarifier or thickener uses a Hi-Tech cast iron or fabricated steel drive unit, with mechanical or hydraulic overloads.

Remote monitoring

The Aquavx Scout RTU is the gateway to the company’s Advanced Remote Monitoring service. The new panel mounted RTU offers full functionality in a compact package with 10 digital/discrete/pulse inputs, four analog inputs, two relay outputs, and MODBUS RTU support over its RS485/RS232 port. Users can receive real-time alarms via SMS, email, or automated voice telephone call, volumetric flow calculation, historical data, trending, and reporting for less than they would typically pay for a traditional landline based dialer.

Emergency actuators

Robo-Control manufactures battery-operated actuators to remotely open and close hazardous gas cylinder and container valves such as chlorine and sulfur dioxide. The actuators weigh as little as six pounds and mount to the valve independently from existing hardware or dispensers. Each actuator has integral indication for actual valve position and outputs for valve position are available. Some actuators can communicate with an RTU or PLC for SCADA or in-plant control.

Turbidity standards

EPA approval was recently awarded for the new line of primary turbidity standards manufactured by HF scientific. The ProCal™ primary standards are being certified for use not only in HF instruments but in other manufacturer’s instrumentation such as the Hach® 1720 process and 2100 series portables. Soon almost any turbidity instrument will be able to be calibrated using the pre-diluted, factory certified primary turbidity standards.
