Two new products available from AMS Instrumentation & Calibration offer convenience and simplicity.

The Plug-n-Play TC-80 Total Chlorine Analyser from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) offers simplified water monitoring and treatment processes, easy installation and less maintenance, according to the company.

The TC-80 Analyser monitors total chlorine in drinking water, rinse water, cooling water or other fresh water samples from 0.05 – 20 ppm chlorine as the standard range or 0.005 – 2.000 ppm with the low range sensor.

The TC-80’s advanced panel mount design includes built-in flow control, which eliminates the need for complicated pressure regulators and rotameters.  

Built-in automatic pH compensation also removes the need for expensive reagents to reduce maintenance and life-cycle costs.

The TC-80 features a panel mount design that incorporates a constant head flow control device, a pH sensor, a chlorine sensor and ECD’s T80 analyser/transmitter  mounted on a PVC panel.

In other news, AMS Instrumentation & Calibration has released the Triton TR6 Turbidity Sensor, also from ECD.

The sensor measures turbidity or suspended solids and can be combined with ECD’s two-channel C22 Analyser to monitor pH, ORP, DO, conductivity, pIon and more.

The new Triton TR6 Sensor measures turbidity or suspended solids in four selectable dual ranges featuring pre-set low and high ranges from 0 to 4000 NTU. Its sophisticated optical IR sensor emits a beam of 850 nm (near infrared light) into a water sample where it is scattered by particles suspended in the water.

The amount of light reflected back to the sensor by the particles is correlated to the turbidity or suspended solids present in the water.

The flexible Triton TR6 Sensor provides turbidity measurement in milligrams per litre (mg/L), parts per million (ppm) and percent solids to volume depending on the size, shape and composition of the suspended solids in the water.

Turbidity measurements (NTU, FNU) are calibrated to the specific user application environment with standards such as Formazin, StablCal or SDVB beads.

Designed for demanding environments, the TR6 Sensor is temperature compensated to achieve accuracy of up to two per cent of reading or 5 NTU (whichever is larger), features a drift rate of less than one per cent per month, and operates at pressures up to 50 psi.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
