Water control system uses fluorescent dyes
The Water Treatment Innovation Platform of global water, energy, and maintenance solutions provider, NCH Europe, has launched aquaDART, a package of fluorescent traced water treatment products and monitoring equipment for accurately controlling the chemical dosing of water systems.
Short for Direct Analysis Response
Technology (DART), aquaDART ‘continuously monitors and adjusts the water treatment programme to ensure that industrial and other large-scale water cooling systems stay free of rust, mineral scale, and microbiological contamination’. The system works in combination with fluorescent dyes to precisely maintain dosing levels within tight control parameters. Each chemical inhibitor used in the dosing regimen contains dyes in trace amounts (ppb level), making it invisible to the naked eye. An in-line fluorometer uses a beam of light to excite the fluorescent dye molecules, causing them to emit light at different wavelengths. Based on the intensity of the remitted light, the system can adjust the feed rate automatically to control the concentration of inhibitor present in the cooling water.
‘Interactive’ website packed with information
C-TEC says its new website is ‘fast, functional, and optimised for enhanced user experience’, and ‘packed with in-depth information on virtually every product’ in the company’s ‘rapidly expanding portfolio of world-class, UK-manufactured life-safety systems’. Marketing manager, Andy Green, said: “We hope customers will love the site’s dedicated support hub – designed to
provide them with 24/7 access to our comprehensive library of sales and technical literature, consultant ‘specs’, training session overviews, help videos, software, BIM and CAD drawings, approval certificates, and more.”
Accessible on
mobile phones as well as computers, the website also features company news, product releases, an exhibition diary, and an interactive staff contact section.
Toolkit for ‘pressing jobs’
As the rise of more modern jointing techniques such as push and press continues, Pegler Yorkshire has launched a combined toolkit that ‘gives installers the right equipment to speed up installations’. Phill Jackson, marketing and business development director, said: “The toolkit provides all the essential equipment for installers to be able to adapt their installation as the job dictates – whether that is via push, press, or a combined approach.” The Pegler Yorkshire Toolkit includes a REMS 3-35 mm pipe cutter suitable for copper, carbon and stainless, 15, 22, and 28 mm jaws, 15-108 mm XPress
copper depth gauge, Tectite Sprint and Tectite Classic Depth Gauge and deburrer, 15 mm multi-layer tube straightener, and 10-28 mm tube cutter for use with PEX and multi-layer tube. In addition, there are demount clips, a mini press tool, spare battery, and dri-slide.
Phill Jackson continued: “Today’s installers are well aware of the benefits that a heat-free installation can bring, and in tune with alternating their methods depending on the job. Many are happy to use a press system until it gets to a confined space, when switching to a push method will simplify things.
