pH, ORP transmitter

The Burkert transmitter Type 8202 is a compact and modular device specially designed for measuring the pH or ORP value of fluids. The transmitter houses a replaceable and standard 120 mm pH or ORP probe screwed in a sensor holder with an integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor. Due to its modular and standard design, customers are now allowed to use any standard pH electrode from the numerous suppliers available. The compact transmitter has integrated PT1000 temperature sensors incorporated for required temperature compensation; the electronics of the Type 8202 can transmit both temperature and the desired analytical value simultaneously.

In-line analyzer

The ChemScan® mini oP in-line analyzer is suited for sequestrant monitoring where combinations of Poly and Ortho-Phosphate are used. It provides reliable and accurate analysis of the ortho-phosphorus fraction. The device has been designed from the ground up to minimize maintenance requirements, including large ID sample tubing to eliminate plugging. It only needs quarterly service for reagent change out.

Gas shutoff

Halogen Valve's Terminator emergency shutoff system sequentially closes 150 lb. cylinder valves containing toxic gas in less than five seconds when activated from remote sensors and switches. The operator is then required to correct the condition before manually reopening the valve to restart the system. The Gemini controller has a self-contained battery system that operates the motorized closing mechanism even during a power failure. The latest Fire Codes recognize and approve the shutoff system in lieu of scrubber treatment systems.
