Endress+Hauser COS81D dissolved oxygen sensor
The Memosens COS81D hygienic optical sensor from Endress+Hauser measures dissolved oxygen in fermenters and bioreactors used in the food, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, as well as in drinking water and boiler feedwater applications. It can be used in all measuring points from lab fermenters to production processes. The sensor measures dissolved oxygen, gaseous oxygen and temperature with accuracy up to ±0.2 percent. It works in process temperatures from 15 to 280 degrees F and pressures from 0 to 190 psi. The sensor also provides temperature and partial pressure, as well as raw measured values. The sensor connects to a transmitter via a cable that transmits an optical digital signal. 888-363-7377; www.us.endress.com.
Blue-White Industries TFD+ technology
Blue-White Industries’ new TFD+, or Tube Failure Detection, is built in to every FLEXFLO Polymer Pump and is designed to eliminate costly polymer spills and downtime required for cleanup. The technology is designed to detect the presence of oil and water-based polymers in the pump head, which would indicate tube failure. When the TFD+ senses tube failure, the pump automatically shuts off and will energize a relay permitting communications with eternal equipment, such as a backup pump, an alarm or a SCADA system. There is no false triggering caused by condensation or washdown procedures. The pump will not resume operation until the problem is resolved. 714-893-8529; www.blue-white.com.
ClearSpan Fabric Structures design-build solutions
ClearSpan Fabric Structures provides design-build solutions for wastewater facilities, covered sludge beds and more. ClearSpan Hercules Truss Arch Buildings feature high clearances and spacious interiors without support posts to hamper operations. The fabric buildings are outfitted with frames constructed from USA-made, triple-galvanized structural steel that will hold up strong in corrosive environments. Rip-stop polyethylene covers let natural light shine through, eliminating the need for daytime artificial lighting and lowering energy costs. Buildings can be engineered to fit the requirements of the specific location, such as snow load or foundation type. 866-643-1010; www.clearspan.com.
