Cellular-based monitoring device for water facilities The Sensaphone CELL682 system provides 24/7 monitoring of environmental conditions and unattended equipment at remote locations where telephone and Ethernet connectivity are unavailable. The CELL682 system provides simplex or duplex alternating pump control using a level transducer or float switches. The unit can also perform machine-tomachine (M2M) control among multiple CELL682 devices.

“Users can configure up to eight M2M control algorithms per device, so that input conditions on one CELL682 can logically control outputs on another using simple, fill-in-the-blank comparison programming,” said Robert Fusco, Sensaphone’s technical support and service manager.

levels, turbidity, pump status, flow rates, security, power failure and equipment failure. If the system detects a potential problem, it sends alarm notifications to up to 24 voice, text or email destinations. Users can access status information and make programming changes via a web portal.

The CELL682 system communicates via standard cellular networks provided by AT&T or Verizon and can monitor up to 14 critical conditions including tank

In addition, the CELL682 system is sealed in an enclosure to protect it from harsh conditions.

New suite of automated water transfer solutions Select Energy Services, a provider of water management services, recently launched the automated equipment, including pumps and a proportioning system, that responds to operator specifications and changing conditions in real time. AquaLogic water transfer pumps use sensors and programming to operate and maintain desired water flow rates by modulating pressure within the system. The pumps remotely and automatically transfer water by raising and lowering pump RPM based on incoming and discharge water data points that are collected and shared throughout the system. The second element of the AquaLogic suite is the proportioning system, which consists of a large manifold equipped with a programmable logic controller (PLC) and various sensors. With the proportioning system, operators can combine two fluid streams, such as produced water, heavy brine, flowback water, and freshwater to extend the life of water sources and reduce dependence on salt-water disposal wells. AquaLogic combines both streams based on operator specifications and can maintain flow rates up to 100 barrels per minute.

Select Energy Services says that incorporating impaired water into completion operations allows energy producers to save money and time spent trucking water to and from worksites. In addition, the remote, self-monitoring system increases personnel utilization while also reducing costs and the chances of human error or recordable safety incidents. www.selectenergyservices.com

One of the widest ranges from a single process supplier At this year’s Pumps & Valves show in Antwerp, Belgium, in April, manufacturer SPX Flow presented a selection of its wide range of pump and valve solutions with a focus on its APV and Johnson Pump brand offerings. The Johnson Pump brand includes centrifugal, positive displacement, lobe, gear, impeller and air operate double diaphragm (AODD) pumps. Its Combi-system provides modular solutions using common components shared across different models of centrifugal pumps. SPX says the reliability, modularity and flexible design options offered by these pumps ensure high performance with low installation and ongoing maintenance costs.

Johnson Pump products are widely used to transport all types of liquids including clean, aggressive, thin or highly viscous products. They handle fluids as varied as pharmaceutical syrups, resins, oil sludge and chemical acids. Supporting its pumps, it also offers a range of filters for pump protection from debris down to 10 microns. SPX Flow says its APV brand is synonymous with hygienic design and quality in industries including food, beverage, chemical, healthcare and pharmaceutical. It offers a wide range of energy efficient pumps and valves that are designed to ensure reliable operation and high efficiency, according to the company. Hygienic solutions include pumps and valves that are well suited for clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilizein-place (SIP) duties as well as EHEDG and 3A approvals. www.spxflow.com
