www.wwtonline.co.uk | WWT | january 2015 | 37 Nuts & Bolts Sourcing products, solutions and services New GPS-X for Hydromantis Hydromantis Environmental So ware Solutions Inc., the lead- ing global provider of water and wastewater simulation so ware and professional modelling ser- vices, have announced the latest release of their flagship product GPS-X ™ Version 6.4. The new version of GPS-X in- cludes new data plotting features, functions for defining variables, a Sankey Diagram generator and a number of new process models. "With this release the users will be able to set up models, run simulations and interpret results quickly and more efficiently", said Dr. Spencer Snowling, VP of Product Development at Hydro- mantis. unit process models for anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), micro- screening solids separation and high rate treat- ment have been developed to further expand the largest collec- tion of unit processes in GPS-X. www.hydromantis.com Aqua Enviro wins funding for sustainable energy work Leading Environmental Con- sultancy Aqua Enviro has been given a £100,000 Govern- ment grant for research and development which could help businesses cut waste costs and provide renewable energy. The company has identified a new process which has the potential to significantly boost the efficiency of an Anaerobic Digestion system known as the microwave hydrolysis process. Aqua Enviro has been coordi- nating trials with the York Biore- newables Development Centre (BDC) and has now received the funding from the Technology Strategy Board. www.aquaenviro.co.uk NIVUS launches NivuLevel 150 NIVUS has introduced a new self-sufficient level measurement system with integrated event con- trol - the NivuLevel 150. Due to its very low energy consumption, the new measurement system provides self-sufficient measuring of level and temperature featur- ing a lifetime of up to 5 years. Operators hence benefit from sensible acquisition of readings at locations with poor infrastructure. nivuLevel 150 can save up to 1 Million readings which can be read out very easy via uSB interface. Thanks to the configurable event control the measurement frequency is adjusted to events automatically. This for example is advantageous for the accurate detection of discharge events on stormwater overflow tanks. nivuLevel 150 consists of a data recording module and a hydro- static submersible pressure probe and can be used in aTEX Zone 1. The pressure probe is suitable for applications conducting clean water as well as for wastewater applications through the use in viscous and pasty media. www.nivus.com Nephnet offers portable turbidity monitoring a groundbreaking new portable turbidity monitor has been developed by Analytical Technology, with the help of PODDS and the UK water companies, which offers continued remote monitoring of water discolouration and better accuracy at lower levels. NephNet is the first battery powered, portable turbidity monitor that gives the same measurement performance as the more traditional fixed monitor, with no compromise on measurement. ATi teamed up with the internationally renowned experts PODDS to develop a monitor that would help safeguard water quality for consumers in this pioneering, forward-thinking project. The new technology offers a string of benefits to help water companies control their mains flushing, including continuous remote monitoring of turbidity; better accuracy at lower levels; fast connection to water mains via hydrants; and wireless communications and alarms. www.atiuk.com Data Comparison Functionality – The measured and predicted values for steady state simulation now can be compared on digital outputs, tabular outputs and bar charts for easy visualization and efficient calibration.
