Managing water and wastewater systems is no easy task—it takes precision, reliability, and the right tools to keep everything running smoothly. From monitoring aquifers to managing chemical feed systems, proper instrumentation is essential for staying compliant and avoiding downtime. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Ashcroft, a company that’s been a leader in pressure and temperature instrumentation since 1852. Their innovative tools are specifically designed to tackle the unique challenges of the water and wastewater industry, making them a trusted name in the field.
Addressing Industry Challenges
Common Uses of Water and Wastewater Management Systems:
- Aquifer Monitoring: The SL17 Submersible Level Transmitter provides precise measurements of hydraulic head pressure, making it easy to monitor water levels and assess water quality.
- Water Towers: Tools like the GC51 Pressure Transmitter are needed to keep water towers operating efficiently by monitoring pressure levels and ensuring a steady water supply.
- Chemical Feed Systems: Built with durable, high-quality materials, Ashcroft® gauges such as the 1259 and 1279 are designed to withstand aggressive chemicals like chlorine and fluorosilicic acid, ensuring a safe and reliable operation.
Operational Challenges within the Water and Wastewater Management Industry:
- Preventing Clogging: Isolation rings, including the 80, 81, and 82 models, are designed to block buildup and maintain smooth and uninterrupted pressure monitoring throughout the system.
- Protecting Pumps: Use reliable instruments like the 1279 Duragauge® and GC51 Transmitter to monitor suction and discharge pressures effectively and protect your pumps from cavitation and impeller damage.
Selecting the Right Equipment for Your Wastewater Management System
Choosing the right instruments involves evaluating the following:
- Process conditions: pressure ranges, media compatibility, and environmental factors.
- System needs: integration requirements, calibration options, and durability under extreme conditions.
For instance, Ashcroft's Pressure Limiting Valves (PL02) protect instruments against overpressure, while the Safe Quick Release™ (SQR™) feature simplifies maintenance.
Recommended Products for Optimal Performance in Your Wastewater Management System
Pressure Gauges:
- 1279 Duragauge®: Designed for sludge applications.
- T6500: Precision instrumentation for high-pressure situations.
Pressure Transmitters:
- GC51: Suitable for water towers and remote monitoring.
- SL17: Ideal for submersible applications.
Isolation Rings:
- Provides seamless integration with the process while protecting instruments from sludge and chemical corrosion.
Diaphragm Seals:
Protect sensors and gauges from damaging media with options like Flanged or All-Welded Seals.
- Flanged Diaphragm Seals have a bolted connection, making them easier to remove and replace when needed. This is a great option if your system requires regular maintenance or inspections.
- All-Welded Diaphragm Seals are fully sealed, eliminating potential leaks and ensuring a more durable, long-lasting solution. These are ideal for high-pressure or harsh environments where reliability is key.
