Motor and Pump Controls
Badger Meter Dynasonics TFX-5000
The Dynasonics TFX-5000 ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter from Badger Meter accurately measures the volumetric flow of clean liquids and those with small amounts of suspended solids or aeration, such as surface water or raw sewage. It is suitable for water and wastewater applications such as lift stations, booster pump stations and water mains. This meter provides accuracy up to 0.5% and flow rates ranging from 0.07 to 33,000 gpm on pipes as large as 48 inches. Designed to clamp onto the outside of pipes, the meter does not contact the internal liquid, allowing for installation without shutting down operations in new and retrofit applications. It is equipped with an internal clock and built-in 8 GB data-logging capabilities to log flow down to one second. It also pairs with dual clamp-on resistance temperature detectors for Btu energy measurement. 877-243-1010; www.badgermeter.com

Blue-White Industries Sonic-Pro MS6
The MS6 Ultrasonic Chemical Flow Meter from Blue-White uses transit time technology to closely track chemical being dosed from a chemical feed pump into the system. This allows the operator to make certain the proper amount of chemical is being injected. Data advising the exact flow rate being dosed is delivered directly from the MS6 to the SCADA system. The MS6 gives a precise measurement of chemical being fed so that proper dispensing/dosing can be easily verified thus avoiding an overdose or underdose. 714-893-8529; www.blue-white.com

Force Flow Chlor-Scale and Halogen Eclipse
To protect chlorination systems from dangerous leaks, the Halogen Eclipse emergency valve shut-off system instantly closes the container valve when a signal is received from a leak detector, panic button or SCADA. The actuator quickly installs on the tank without the use of any tools and allows manual operation of the valve while in place. During an emergency shutdown event, the system measures the actual torque applied to the valve to ensure that the valve is closed to Chlorine Institute recommended standards and provides remote confirmation that the emergency close operation successfully closed the valve. The Chlor-Scale from Force Flow safely cradles a chlorine ton container while providing critical feed and chemical inventory information. Know in real time exactly how much chlorine has been fed and how much remains in the tank. It can warn of excessive or insufficient feed rates and can be remotely monitored from a PLC or SCADA system. 925-893-6723; www.forceflow.com

Orenco Systems 4-in-1 Controller
The 4-in-1 Controller from Orenco Systems supports numerous electrical configurations and dosing schedules within a single panel.
