VOTE FOR VEGA IN THE INSTRUMENTATION AND ELECTRONICS AWARDS
This unique combination of certifications, plus performance across harsh environments and all water applications, is why the VEGAPULS Basic Range is already widely used, and continuing to grow as a trusted choice in the UK water industry and beyond.
It’s especially useful where recycled washwater distorts readings — a common challenge now resolved with a single controller.
A simple fix for a widespread issue, with minimal disruption, reduced costs, and strong ongoing performance.
3. SENSOR PRODUCT OF THE YEAR The VEGAPULS Basic Radar Level Sensor Range is the only radar solution in the UK to carry MCERTS Class 1, WRAS, and ATEX Ex ia certifications — enabling use across:
Potable water treatment Wastewater and EDM sites Hazardous or chemical zones
With tens of thousands already in the field, it reduces procurement complexity, speeds up design, and supports everything from sludge tanks to reservoirs. Built with 80 GHz radar tech and no moving parts, it delivers:
Precise, drift-free data Seamless SCADA integration
Safe, compliant clean water measurement
4. INDUSTRY PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR: MARK MCPHAIL (SENIOR SALES ENGINEER, NORTH SCOTLAND) Mark brings a unique blend of technical expertise and charisma that’s hard to miss. With over 25 years in the field, including 16 years with VEGA, he’s built strong relationships, across a range of industries— earning not just new business, but real respect and trust from colleagues, customers and peers alike.
He’s a standout engineer who consistently goes above and beyond—supporting customers across northern Scotland with deep technical insight and a strong work ethic, earning him the trust of operators and engineers in some of the UK’s most demanding industrial environments.
