Steam Traps and Energy Conservation

Only Bestobell Aquatronix can provide a steam trap guaranteed not to allow the passage of live steam for a period of up to 3 years. The Bestobell Delta B is unique and can save you thousands of dollars per year and provide a payback as short as 6 months. But as there is no such thing as a universal steam trap, Bestobell offers a full compliment of technologies to be able to provide the right product for your application.

Bestobell is an Enbridge approved trap survey contractor wherein Enbridge will subsidize 50% of the cost of the survey and any recommended upgrades.

In addition, Bestobell provides condensate return systems and leak detection instruments.

Boiler Tube Leak Monitoring - on line

The Procon leak detection system is designed to detect a steam leak the moment it begins, allowing time to shut down the boiler at an optimum time, such as the weekend. This can result in substantial reduction of repair times and costs with a consequent increase in availability and profits.

Early detection of a tube leak will give financial savings which will easily exceed the initial capital cost of the detection system, even at the first event.

The first system was installed in 1974 and there are over 300 systems installed world-wide.Ø

Analytical Measurements

Sensors and Accessories for pH, ORP/Redox:

Dynaprobes are severe service, robust probes that feature the unique and patented "Ion Traps" which capture and retain contaminating Ions. This prevents sensor poisoning and provides for a longer and trouble free operating life to pH and ORP sensors. A wide range of mounting options are available and all incorporate a temperature sensor for thermal compensation.

Conductivity Sensors and Accessories:

For monitoring water quality for such applications as boiler feed water, etc. Ranges from from 0-20 to 0-1,000,000 micro Seimens, Press/Temp: 250 psig at 200 C,  316 or Hastalloy body.

Sludge and Slurry Valves

RF manual valve design features full center line closure to minimize the stress on the tube, reduce operating effort required and ensure shut-off. Tubes can be replaced without the need to remove the body from the line and the patented Wear Sensor provides advance warning when the should be maintained.

RF valves are build without valve stems, packings and seals that can leak. Their seamless elastomer tube design offers two levels of protection against fugitive emissions. A third level of protection is the valve body itself.

All valves can easily be automated.

aiRFlex is a low cost solution to remote on/off valve actuation and for rough control services. It is ideally suited for applications where process pressure does not exceed 50 psi and air pressure of at least 30 greater than process pressure is available. Ideal for thickener underflow.

RF Valves are the ideal solution to difficult valve applications such as clay or TiO2 slurries, digester blow down, waste treatment, etc

Temperature

Thermal Imaging/InfraRed: Wahl offers the lowest cost high performance thermal imaging camera on the market. Ergonomically designed, this compact instrument features a 160 X 120 detector array for high resolution measurement.

These classic thermometers are designed and constructed for long term industrial service. Palmer still manufacturers FDA approved Mercury filled thermometers, long a standard of measurement in food processing, for use in the pasturization process.

Dial Thermometers: Bestobell Aquatronix offers an exceptionally complete range of thermometers by combining the capabilities of two leading manufacturers.Capabilities include simple low cost industrial models, remote indicating systems, sanitary service, high performance rugged models for severe service, etc.

Handheld Thermometers: Wahl manufactures a complete range of portable temperature probes and meters to suit all requirements. Thermistor, RTD or thermocouple sensing ensures the right price, range and sensitivity to suit any requirement. For process verification and Quality Assurance.

Process Sensors and Transmitters: A full range of temperature probes (RTD, Thermocouple, Thermistor), transmitters and accessories.

Flow

Thermal Mass Gas Measurment: The Fox Thermal Mass flowmeter is the instrument of choice for reliable and accurate gas flow measurement. The instrument measures in standard units without the need for temperature and pressure compensation. Ideal for compressed air, CO2, Natural Gas, etc.

Ultrasonic: The Katronics flow meters are ideally suited to food and beverage process applications. The measurement of flow is based on the principle the sound waves are influenced by a flowing medium. Measurements are made by penetrating the pipe wall with ultrasound and subsequent time differences, frequency variations and phase shifts of the ultrasonic signals are evaluated. The measuring technique has no effect on the flowing liquid. There is no pressure loss in the pipe and no wear on components of the measuring device. The ultrasonic sensors are clamped onto the outside of the pipe, thus eliminating the need to interrupt the process.

Magnetic Flowmeters: The RPmag62 flow meter is suitable for use in many industries including chemical, power generation and distribution, mining, water treatment, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, food and environmental protection. There are no moving parts in the measuring tube and there is no pressure loss. The RPmag62 flow meter has a wide measuring range and is available with a choice of wetted materials and linings to suit a wide range of applications.

Pressure

Transmitters: PSM manufacturers a complete range of pressure transmitters for industrial and OEM applications.

Unique to PSM is their innovative Dual Mode 'ICT' series capacitive measurement cell which uses a ceramic diaphragm which, due to the unique design, is fully protected from overload damage. The iCT utilizes a unique digital processing principle, which employs the varying frequency of the sensor to control the frequency of an oscillator. An embedded micro-controller precisely monitors this frequency to provide a comprehensive range of functions and outputs, all under the user's control.

The iCT provides both analogue and digital outputs and can easily be configured remotely. The transmitter can be programmed with tank profile tables, alarm points, etc, which significantly increases user functionality.

Pressure Gauges: Palmer Wahl manufacture a complete range of pressure gauges to suit any application. From simple low cost models to severe service designs and gauges with contact or transmitter outputs.

Gas Detection

Detcon industrial gas detection products include the use of all six conventional gas sensor technologies. This capability is mandatory in today's complex industrial market. Command of each of these technologies enables us to "fit the correct product to the application", and assure long term service and reliability.
