South East Water and Anglian Water are a pair of British water utilities that sought to determine whether water quality could be used as a tool to provide information regarding bursts and leaks. Syrinix addressed this very concern with its PIPEMINDER product. The latest evolution of PIPEMINDER allows it to be connected to water quality … Continued
In parallel with propeller meters, straightening vanes and flow straighteners have become a significant component of flow calculation in the agricultural industry, and with an important purpose. Flow straighteners and vanes, usually mounted close to flow disturbers or in short straight-run applications, minimize swirl and assist propeller meters in achieving a precise flow reading. With … Continued
As a bacteria, legionella may cause legionellosis, better known as the type of severe type of pneumonia called Legionnaires’ disease. If left untreated, it can become fatal. Legionella has greater chances of growing industrial buildings where water becomes stagnant, especially ones that may be empty. It can even resist the effects of chlorine, reinforcing the … Continued
