  • Evoqua’s MitiGATOR™ mobile systems are designed to provide rapid response to customers who have contaminated potable water.

    The MitiGATOR system can be configured specifically for local water chemistry at various sites, including:

    • Municipal Drinking Water Systems
    • Military Bases and Housing
    • Drinking Water Wells
    • Surface Water

    Applications

    Evoqua’s MitiGATOR™ mobile systems are designed to provide rapid response to customers who have contaminated potable water. The MitiGATOR system can take advantage of tight spaces in all weather conditions, making its self-contained climate-controlled interior effective in any region.

    Evoqua’s MitiGATOR system can connect directly to the source water. The influent runs through a vessel system with media chosen specifically in response to the water's chemistry. The water leaving the system will meet treatment goals.

    Installation, Startup and Operation

    The MitiGATOR units are shipped as insulated trailers with two bag filters followed by six media vessels, with plumbing and instrumentation. The enclosed trailers require minimal field assembly and site connections.

    Evoqua can provide a total service package that can integrate the MitiGATOR trailers with additional water cleanup systems to include interconnecting piping, and automated temperature, pressure, and flow monitoring. Evoqua’s team of expert operators are OSHA-trained and capable of providing onsite system operation and maintenance.

    Evoqua's mobile MitiGATOR system can be provided as a stand-alone treatment for contaminated water or as part of a fully integrated treatment system.

  • PHCbi brand’s 19.5 cu.ft. (554 L) pharmaceutical refrigerator with adjustable shelving and forced-air circulation help helps ensures uniform temperature control from 2°C to 14°C. The sliding glass door design minimizes air loss and supports easy access in high-use environments. A microprocessor controller and OLED display feature excellent visibility and intuitive operation utilizing control buttons that provide convenient, yet secure, user commands. Refrigeration temperature can be displayed in 0.1°C increments, and the minimum and maximum temperatures within the previous 12 and 24 hours are displayed. Audible and visual alarms with adjustable setpoints warn of deviations from setpoint temperatures, and all alarm conditions are displayed and recorded. A password-protected control interface assures operational security. Natural hydrocarbon refrigerants and inverter compressor technology deliver quiet, energy-efficient performance with fast recovery. ENERGY STAR® Certified.

Instrumentation
The science of measuring and controlling variables is termed instrumentation. As the name suggests, the process involves using a wide variety of instruments. These are classified as any device that can measure amounts that are physically quantifiable. These instruments do not have to be extremely complex in design. For example, the ruler is an instrument to measure distance, and a simple thermometer measures temperature.
Instruments specific to petrochemical processing include platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s), P/I Converters, many types of level meters, chromatographs, and continuous gas analyzers. These instruments are essential to the day to day instrumentation at petrochemical plants, as it is impossible to gauge to the necessary extent by estimation alone. Human error is inevitable, but an instrument can easily be calibrated or replaced.
Now that you understand the definition of and tools used in instrumentation, you should also understand the necessity of it. Temperature and pressure meters serve to ensure that the environment stays safe for both the chemicals being processed and the employees of the plant. Heat is a very well-documented activator in chemical reactions. If the temperature rises to unusual levels, this could spark an undesired chemical reaction that could prove catastrophic. The flow meter must measure how much oil is leaving the refinery, as it is a very volatile substance. Analytical instruments, such as the chromatograph, analyze the chemical make-up of the refined oil. This allows for the opportunity to make sure that the chemical make-up is correct, giving evidence that the process was correctly completed at all stages of refinement.
