Bürkert has expanded the Type MS02 sensor cube for the Type 8905 Online Analysis System. The system can now measure either free active chlorine or chlorine dioxide. The Online Analysis System is a
modular system for fully automatic monitoring of all important water parameters with a single platform. The basic version provides sensor cubes for five parameters: pH value, redox potential (ORP), conductivity, chlorine and turbidity. Measurement of the chlorine dioxide content expands the capabilities of the Online Analysis System to include yet another parameter. The chlorine dioxide sensor makes it possible to continuously monitor and document the concentration and the effectiveness of this method of drinking and process water disinfection. The new version of the Type MS02
sensor cube has been optimised for free active chlorine, and can be selected to measure one of the two disinfectants. It is designed for use in water treatment applications where disinfecting or oxidizing agents are added, and can be plugged into the fluidic backplane of the system during operation.

VEGA has announced its radar-based system has gained MCERTS approval for open channel flow measurement. The system uses the VEGAPULS WL S 61 contactless radar level sensor, which is designed for applications in WTW’s, STW’s, pumping stations, CSO’s, digesters, sludge tanks, open channel flow measurement and telemetry gauging stations. Available from £390, the sensor combines competitive price with globally-proven success, and joins the VEGAPULS WL61 water radar, which already has 40,000 units installed world-wide. Radar is an interesting technology for the water and environmental sector as it is unaffected by sun (temperature change) wind, fog or rain, surface turbulence, vapours, and condensation, which means it is both versatile and reliable. The new ‘S’ version is loop-powered, has 5mm accuracy, 8m range and flexible mounting options. Its Bluetooth set up (via free IOS or Android App for smartphone or tablet) or PC (free FDT/DTM download) provides easy, safe and convenient operation. IP68 (2 bar) submersible housings with 12m sealed cable offer robust protection. Utilising a 10˚ focused beam angle, means it meets the latest EN Level Probing Radar (LPR) standard for open-air use. As well as being standard on the new water radar, Bluetooth can now be supplied as an option on all VEGA
level measurement technologies. This enables fast, safe and convenient set up and asset management using a smart phone, tablet or PC. Also, due to the modular design of the plics system, any level measurement transmitter from this range supplied since it was launched in 2002, can be retro fitted with the latest in set up and asset management communications.

Digi International has introduced a new version of Digi Connect Tank an integrated, cellular-enabled remote tank- level monitoring device designed to manage remote tank assets efficiently using tank level and location data. Featuring integration with the Digi Device Cloud, Connect
Tank allows companies that own or manage large numbers of tanks to optimize their operations by routing fleet and personnel efficiently, reducing fuel costs and increasing supply chain predictability. Connect Tank can be used without the need to purchase third-party monitoring applications, and easily integrates into existing Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) applications. Highlights of this version include: small form factor for
use in a range of tank applications; local configuration and debug interface for configuring cellular interface and viewing device status; an integrated, non-contact ultrasonic liquid level sensor; UL Class 1 / Division 2 rating sensors for hazardous environments; a NEMA 4 enclosure; Self-powered and sleep-enabled sensors for extended battery life; and expanded APIs for integration with enterprise applications.

Morgan Advanced Materials has produced a new type of alumina sensor for high pressure and high temperature water and sub- metering. It has been specifically developed to withstand extreme temperatures, so can be used for heat metering and high
temperature fluid metering. The sensor is said to solve many of the problems associated with high temperature environments, with a focus on reducing thermal drift and zero flow offset over a large temperature range. The sensor is able to help minimise the flow offset because the material has been manufactured to control the thermal properties of both the internal and external structure. This enables the minimum flow rate range to be kept as small as possible, enhancing the overall

accuracy of the reading. The sensor design has been tested up to 100 bar pressure and 150˚C which is said to surpass the current market requirements for heat metering. This is a direct benefit of using alumina in the sensor design, which has minimal expansion properties and offers strength and durability. Due to its thermal stability, the sensor is suitable for the metering of potable water or other fluids, and can be used in food and pharmaceutical environments.

Yokogawa Electric Corporation has released the YTA610 temperature transmitter. Although it is a mid-range model, it has the same dual- compartment housing for the transmitter terminal block and electronics that is used with the company’s high-end models, ensuring good environmental resistance. The release of the YTA610 completes Yokogawa’s revamp of the YTA series. Features of this transmitter include: Dual compartment housing: This
allows it to be installed in locations where it will be subject to extreme temperatures and high humidity. Choice of the latest digital
communication protocols: The transmitter supports the latest versions of HART and Foundation Fieldbus and is compliant with the IEC 61508 standard Improved self-diagnostics and
sensor diagnostic functions: The transmitter includes a variety of diagnostic and prognostic functions. Local parameter setting: Software facilitates the setting of parameters for transmitters and other field devices.
