MCERTS accredited monitoring equipment, loggers and software are required to ensure reliable and accurate monitoring compliance of a given site. MCERTS also mandates independent audits to ensure best practice is followed and all monitoring equipment and installations are appropriate to the site conditions.
“Directives for handling municipal wastewater require continuous monitoring of wastewater flow,” explains Neil Butler, Detectronic’s Managing Director. “Sewage Treatment Works are dependent on flow measurements to control plant operations. Incorrect flow measurements could influence the plant’s operation and lead to potential environmental or legal consequences. Likewise, businesses required to monitor trade effluent must comply with MCERTS if it is stated in their consent license.”
Continues Neil: “Making sure that you have the right monitor in place for your site is imperative. OurMSFMMCERTS S2.5T system delivers on all levels across a wide range of applications and offers complete peace of mind when it comes to compliance.”
The MSFM MCERTS 2.5T doesn’t require weirs or flumes and automatically adapts to changes in production and intense weather that can affect the flow rates. When tidal water or groundwater infiltrates the sewer water, as well as the additional water volume, the change in the water temperature is detected by the integrated temperature sensor.
Next generation processing technology provides on-board flow calculation. This feature can be used to provide accurate flow proportional sampling. An alarm is triggered to send a pulse to an automatic water sampler once a predetermined volume of water has passed.
Data can be recorded between 1 minute and 1 day. Logged data is transmitted hourly, daily, weekly or monthly via 2G, NB-IoT, LTE-M1 at programmed intervals to DetecData, a user-friendly, multi-
language, secure web portal which users can access anywhere at any time. It takes the data received from the MSFM MCERTS S2.5T and turns it into actionable information.
Concludes Neil: “We’re excited to offer another great option to help customers stay compliant and keep an eye on their wastewater through continuous flow monitoring.”
Innovative NavStar light system set to revolutionise highway work safety
After attending Utility Week in May, Glanville CCTV Manager, Dave Middleton and SHE Advisor Hollie Cushion were impressed by a remarkable light system that improves safety and reduces the need for traffic management during nighttime highway work. This innovative concept involves small flashing discs that are placed on top of traffic cones with automatic switch-on and flash mode sequencing, enabling quick setup and operation. These lights are set to greatly enhance the visibility and safety of teams working within the highway during out-of-hours (OOH) shifts.
In the past, OOH Traffic Management teams relied on compact flashing bulbs atop traffic cones. However, the NavStar system from NightSearcher takes things to the next level. Encased in a convenient and self-charging compact case, the system even auto-sequences itself to create a specific light pattern around the work area. The setup process is seamless; simply take the
