HIGH RESOLUTION RADIATION TOLERANT LENSES
R
esolve Optics is now supplying HD (1080p) resolution radiation tolerant lenses optimised for the new generation of radiation hard CMOS cameras designed for monitoring nuclear reprocessing and power generation plants. The desire from nuclear plants for clearer and brighter images to enable them to better monitor their facilities and processes has accelerated the move from expensive, lower resolution tube
cameras to higher resolution CMOS based cameras. Drawing upon over 2 decades of serving the nuclear industry - Resolve Optics is now able to also offer radiation tolerant lenses that can produce clear, sharp images free of the strong yellow tint that traditionally has been a limiting issue particularly when used on colour sensors.

TITAN ENTERPRISES’ NSF-APPROVED 800-SERIES TURBINE FLOW METERS PROVIDE LOW- COST SOLUTION FOR PHARMACEUTICAL AND MEDICAL INDUSTRY
P
recision flow measurement is a critical tool for the Pharmaceutical and Medical industries, where processes require the precise control of liquid flow rates. Titan’s NSF-approved 800-series turbine flow meters are ideally suited for applications where both food-grade hygiene and precision flow measurement are required, such as those seen in dispensing and accurate batch delivery systems for ingestible pharmaceutical products and additives. Titan’s NSF-approved 800-series flowmeters, certified under NSF/ANSI
169 as equipment for food products, are designed for precise metering of low viscosity liquids - water, water-soluble chemicals, drug coatings for example. These mini turbine sensors provide a low-cost dispensing solution giving reliable, high performance over 6 flow ranges from 0.05 to 15 L/min. The 800-series flow measuring devices have totally non-metallic NSF-approved wetted components that ensure safe dispensing of ingestible materials.

GENESIS™ MULTIPHASE DETECTOR THE BIRTH OF A NEW TYPE OF LEVEL PROFILER
W
ith the growth of TDR based level instrumentation, there is an emphasis on expanding the use of TDR into multiphase applications where mainly high-priced profilers or multi-probe arrays exist today. Magnetrol’s Genesis Multiphase Detector is a Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)-based, 24 VDC level detector designed to accurately define and quantify the various layers in multiple interface level measurement applications. Encompassing a number of significant developments from Magnetrol’s progressive engineering team, this innovative level detector can deliver a full interface profile of a vessel with performance which surpasses many of the more traditional technologies.
Utilizing patented “Top-Down” and “Bottom-Up” signals, along with advanced level detection algorithms, this single device can be used in a wide variety of interface applications ranging from very light hydrocarbons to water-based media. For example, Genesis can be used to define the multiple interfaces in a separator vessel (sandwater- emulsion-oil-gas) with exceptional precision and can even determine the magnitude of any emulsion layer.
Multiphase level measurements exist throughout the process industries and are particularly relevant in the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical sectors due to the value derived from effective water and hydrocarbon separation. While level instrumentation has come a long way in measuring liquids of all varieties, multiphase level measurement is often considered the greatest challenge in process control.
This detector, like other Magnetrol devices, is designed to maximise ease of wiring, configuration, and viewing of the versatile graphic LCD display. Despite the fact that there has been considerable effort by instrumentation manufacturers to measure multiphase levels, only now is there a cost- effective TDR-based multiphase level detector capable of widespread adoption. Radiometric and nucleonic technologies can profile multiphase media conditions, potentially without intrusion into the process vessel; however, they come with high upfront costs, regulatory burdens and increased safety requirements.
Genesis builds upon the proactive diagnostics found in Magnetrol’s Model Eclipse 706 GWR in order to actively monitor build-up on the probe; enabling operators to streamline maintenance and reduce downtime. For more information on Genesis please email
