WHAT'S NEW!
Overcoming
water stress
Given the amount of rain we have
seen recently in the UK and the
large areas of land that have
suffered severe flooding, it may be
difficult to believe that only 2.75%
of all the available water is fresh
water that is fit for human
consumption.
Such crazy weather extremes means
being able to channel fresh water to
where it is needed is becoming
MCERTS for
pH
ABB has achieved MCERTS
certification for its AX400 pH
measurement system. Tested in a
field trial conducted over nine
months on an effluent discharge at
Pembroke Power Station, the
AX400, coupled with ABB's 7650,
7651, 7660 pH sensors, successfully
demonstrated its suitability for use
in treated wastewater, untreated
wastewater and receiving water
applications.
WRAS
approval for
booster sets
One of the key obstacles presented
to consultants and contractors when
specifying potable water booster
sets can often be the water
company's requirement for WRAS
certification to ensure suitable
equipment is installed.As part of its
more of a challenge and by 2025 it
is estimated that 65% of the world's
population will live in water
stressed areas.
However, there are answers
available to these problems and
innovative companies like Grundfos
have developed solutions such as
Demand Driven Distribution that
offers the technology to simply and
significantly reduce these leaks.
This is coupled with other
technological breakthroughs such
as the Grundfos S-Tube.

The achievement of MCERTS
certification means the AX400 pH
measurement systems can be used
in applications such as the power
industry and potable water
treatment.
The 7651 with polypropylene
flowcell and the 7653 with a
reservoir-fed reference electrode are
an ideal low-cost option that can be
readily replaced and installed. Both
systems are highly-suited
throughout the potable water
treatment process.

continuing growth, KGN Pillinger now
holds full WRAS approval for its
variable speed energy efficient AV
and EV range of booster sets.
This certification is in addition to the
full WRAS approval KGN holds for its
UPod Underground Plant Room and
means KGN Pillinger is now one of
the only companies in the UK to
have WRAS certification for both
above and below ground booster
plant.
