ABB technologies at WWEM 2012
6 Sep 2012
London – At the Water, Wastewater and Environmental Monitoring (WWEM) 2012 exhibition, 7-8 Nov, at the International Centre, Telford, ABB wil present an automated interactive display demonstrating how its technologies can be integrated to help monitor and control water supplies.
On show will be ABB’s Aztec 600 colorimetric and newly launched Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) potable water quality analysers. Using these analysers, operators can establish a quick and accurate measurement of a range of parameters, including aluminium, iron, manganese, phosphate, colour, fluoride and high low and high level ammonia.
The Aztec range incorporates features such as automatic two point calibration, self-cleaning functionality and automatic sample dilution. The inherent product design and auto-calibrating features mean that maintenance is typically only required annually, compared to every three months with some units on the market.
Also on display will be ABB’s MCERTified WaterMaster flowmeter, which features an octagonal flow sensor and ABB’s VeriMaster verification system. Accompanying it will be the latest version of ABB’s AquaMaster electromagnetic flowmeter.
Able to use either solar or wind-powered energy in addition to battery and mains power, the AquaMaster 3 is designed for water billing and leakage applications in virtually any location.It also features GSM-SMS technology, enabling it to be contacted using a PC, or through a mobile phone via SMS messaging, providing operators with instant remote access to accurate flow data.
These products will be joined by ABB’s range of pressure and temperature measurement products for use around water and wastewater treatment processes, plus examples of ABB’s recorder products including the SM500F, claimed to be the world’s first field mountable videographic data recorder.
Capable of being installed anywhere, such as a panel, wall or pipe with no additional cost, the SM500F takes recording out of the control room and offers users localised access to operational data. Its fully sealed IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure provides full protection against water and dust ingress.
Visitors will also get the chance to access ABB’s expertise in online potable water quality measurement by attending a workshop hosted by Jon Penn, ABB’s global product manager for continuous water analysis.
The workshop will focus on the topic of ‘Optimising surface water treatment using online instrumentation’. It will explain how online monitoring and control can help operators to improve the sustainability, cost efficiency and safety of coagulation treatment processes.
