El lanzamiento de CRIUS^®4.0 de Pi es un gran salto para la instrumentación del agua.

CRIUS^®4.0, IdC y MCTT

Controlador de instrumentos CRIUS^®4.0

CRIUS^®4.0 es el primer analizador de calidad del agua en cualquier parte del mundo que incorpora MCTT (transferencia de telemetría de cola de mensajes), que es un protocolo de comunicación de IdC (Internet de las cosas). MQTT significa que las comunicaciones entre la nube y CRIUS^® ahora son más fáciles, rápidas y seguras.

MCTT permite que los datos se muevan entre un servidor en la nube y el analizador de forma más sencilla y rápida. Esto significa que CRIUS® puede usar cualquier tarjeta SIM de bajo costo y puede enviar datos continuamente a la nube, lo que significa que los datos están disponibles en vivo para los clientes y las aplicaciones que los usan.

To coincide with CRIUS^®4.0, Pi has also released Control InSite and Data InSite.

Control InSite proporciona acceso remoto en vivo con cualquier configuración CRIUS^® para conectarse a Internet utilizando su módem incorporado o conexiones LAN.

Following on from the success of numerous water treatment plants in the UK and Ireland, Pi is now beginning to offer the CoagSense coagulation controller to other countries in the world in an effort to help water treatment plants become more efficient and effective.

Termozipa Power Station, near Bogota, Colombia, has recently built a new water treatment works to provide clean water to the plant’s cooling towers from the neighbouring river water. Coagulation dosing at the water treatment works will be automatically controlled by Pi’s CoagSense coagulation controller to ensure that the water is treated effectively, helping to improve water quality and optimise chemical usage.

Pi’s Julius Guth commissions coagulation controller in Colombia

Salt Cathedral, Colombia

Pi’s head office contact for Latin America, Julius Guth, recently travelled to Colombia and Mexico to visit distributors and assist with the commissioning of Pi’s first coagulation controller on the continent.

Designed to assist with the monitoring and control of coagulation dosing, Pi’s CoagSense coagulation controller can take in signals from several sensors and in this instance is using:

• The CRIUS^® instrument controller,
• The pHSense pH Meter,
• The TurbSense^® Turbidity Meter and
• The StreamerSense Streaming Current Monitor.

The installation of Pi equipment for such applications is made possible by Pi’s sophisticated Remote Access system which enables 2-way communication with onsite analysers, allowing settings to be adjusted remotely from anywhere in the world.

Julius also spent time with Pi’s distributors in Colombia and Mexico, learning more about their latest projects and visiting water treatment companies. The trip wasn’t all work though! Julius had the opportunity to visit the underground Salt Cathedral in Zipaquirá, known as the ‘First Wonder of Colombia’. This spectacular cathedral is made up of tunnels and expansive caverns carved into the mountainside. Consisting almost entirely of rock salt, the mountain still has an active salt mine alongside the stunning cathedral.

Pi’s head office contact for Portugal and Spain, Daniel Nearney, travelled to Portugal to attend the event and meet with companies who have shown interest in Pi’s products. Izasa’s exhibition stand showcased products that are currently receiving a lot of interest in the Portuguese market, including:

• The CRIUS^® Instrument Controller,
• The HaloSense Chlorine Analyser,
• The TurbSense^® Turbidity Monitor,
• The pHSense pH Meter and
• The CounterSense Particle Counter.

Daniel spent time with Izasa representatives Joáo Paulo (Portugal) and David Aparicio (Spain) at their exhibition stand and was able to assist them with technical advice and product specific knowledge. Daniel also took the opportunity to catch up with representatives from EPAL (Free Public Water Company of Lisbon), who recently purchased several HaloSense systems for installation in their water treatment plants.
When commenting about his trip, Daniel said:

“It was a fantastic opportunity to attend ENEG and meet with customers and prospects based in Portugal. We have been long-standing partners with Izasa, so it’s always good to see them and provide assistance where we can. There looks to be many upcoming projects in 2020 and I look forward to working with Joáo and David to implement these in Portugal and Spain.”

ENEG is a biannual conference for water distribution and drainage companies from all over Portugal. It is the largest event of its kind in the country, and ENEG 2019 was the largest conference in ENEG history.

In February 2019, Pi welcomed Craig Bradshaw from AllPronix for a week of advanced product training at the head office in Burnley, UK. Craig is the product specialist for Pi equipment at AllPronix and is responsible for sales across South Africa.

The training week was very hands-on, providing Craig with practical experience in setting up the analysers and trying out different features. The training involved in-depth tutorials about the CRONOS^® and CRIUS^® analysers including communications, PID settings and remote access as well as sensor calibration procedures for the pHSense pH meter, ConductiSense conductivity meter, TurbSense^® turbidity meter, SoliSense^® suspended solids monitor and more.

Pi’s head office contact for South Africa, Julius Guth, spent the week training Craig with assistance from Wesley Ashworth and Ben Turner from Pi’s Technical Support team. But the week wasn’t all work; Craig also had plenty of fun trying his hand at Clay Pigeon Shooting at The Coniston Hotel and fulfilling his boyhood dream of watching Liverpool Football Club play at Anfield.

Julius said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Craig to our office and we had a great time together. Craig learnt a lot from the training, which will be invaluable when he is working with his customers back in South Africa. We have been partners with AllPronix for over 4 years now, so it’s always good to have a visit from them and provide assistance wherever we can.”

Process Instruments (Pi) have signed a new distributor agreement with EquipSolutions, ensuring a continued relationship for years to come.

EquipSolutions (EQS), based in Illinois, USA, has been serving its customers across all industries as an equipment supplier and solutions provider for many years. The new distributor agreement secures the relationship between Pi and EQS and allows EQS to supply Pi’s SMART and DIGITAL CRIUS^® instrument controller to customers across North America but with their own branding.

The CRIUS^® controller is equipped with the capability to connect up to 4 sensors measuring a range of parameters including chlorine, turbidity, pH and suspended solids. The CRIUS^® can also be equipped with remote access allowing users to access and manage the controller from a PC or mobile, rather than standing in front of the analyser onsite.

Pi’s Sales Manager, Dr. Rob Paramore said: “Pi is at the forefront of the Water 4.0 and Industry 4.0 movement within the water industry and with EQS as a partner, this will allow all companies across North America to benefit from the advancements Pi has made with its SMART and DIGITAL technology”.

Process Instruments (Ireland) has recently supplied several multi-parameter analysers to Murphy Process Engineering Ltd. as part of a disinfection project in the Counties of Carlow, Wexford and Kilkenny.

Tim Harte from Process Instruments (Ireland) Ltd., and Applications Engineer Wesley Ashworth from Process Instruments (UK) Ltd., worked closely with Project Manager Sean Ryle to install the CRIUS^® systems and manage the differences between the sites.

Pi’s CRIUS^® multi-parameter controller is equipped with the capability to connect up to 4 sensors and measure different parameters including chlorine, pH, temperature and turbidity, and is able to connect to 3 more CRIUS^® to accommodate more sensors if required.

The CRIUS^® can output the parameters to a SCADA over Modbus or analogue 4-20mA signals and has the ability to send a flow proportional signal to control chemical dosing pumps including switching between duty and standby pumps.

Tim Harte said: “We’ve supplied instruments to Murphy Process Engineering Ltd. in the past including our auto-coagulation control system, CoagSense. It’s great to hear that the success of these installations meant that Murphy were happy to install our CRIUS^® multi-parameter analysers across a number of their sites. Presently they are moving to the Commissioning phase on these installations. The CRIUS^® is already set up for Water and Industry 4.0, meaning it is perfect for these types of project.”

The Process Instruments Group is excited to have reached the Lancashire Business View Red Rose Awards 2019 finals.

Pi has been shortlisted for two awards at the Red Rose Awards, where businesses throughout Lancashire are celebrated.

• Growing Business Award
  Pi’s growth of 53% in 2018 comes on top of 19.4% in 2017 and 29% in 2016. On a longer timeframe, Pi has shown 1050% growth in 10 years and an average growth of >26% per year over the last 10 years which has resulted from investment in all aspects of the business and specifically our new analysers.
• International Achievement Award
  In 2018, Pi grew its export sales by 34%. Pi doesn’t have an ‘export’ department. Exporting is so integral to everything we do that Pi just has ‘customers’. Some of our customers are in the UK, (approximately 30%), but most are outside the UK.

Pi is looking forward to attending the awards, held at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, on Thursday, March 14th, and would like to take this opportunity to wish our fellow finalists good luck!

In November 2018, Pi welcomed one of their Chinese distributors, Shanghai LIM Mechanical & Electrical Co., Ltd. and one of their customers, HXDD, to the UK for product training.

Shanghai LIM are one of Pi’s largest distributors, specialising in selling OzoSense ozone analysers into the industrial water treatment sectors in China. They have been working with Pi for many years, and Pi have formed a great friendship with Managing Director, Jason Gaojiang Long.

Jason’s visit coincided with Pi’s 20th Anniversary Party, which both Jason and Chenshan (HXDD) attended. As an anniversary gift, Jason presented Pi’s Sales Manager, and Head Office contact for China, Dr. Rob Paramore with a trophy.

Dr. Rob Paramore said: “The training was a great success. In 2 days, we managed to cover all relevant material plus some exciting innovations currently in development. It was also great to have Jason and Chenshan at the party and judging by the amount of time they both spent on the dancefloor, I’d say that the party was also a success!”

Pi is very proud to be a British company exporting to China where, in the water treatment industry, British products are seen to be a high quality and robust option.

As well as the recent 20th Anniversary Party, Pi are celebrating 20 years of working with US company, Chemtrac Inc..

The partnership between Pi and Chemtrac has been fundamental to Pi’s success. Chemtrac is, and has been, a customer, distributor, OEM, supplier and supporter since Pi’s launch in 1998.

Chemtrac was founded in 1985 and is based in Atlanta, Georgia. The company was launched with the introduction of a new streaming current monitor, allowing people to measure coagulation processes in real time, known to Pi’s customers as ‘StreamerSense’. Chemtrac has since grown to include particle counters (ParticleSense), laboratory charge analysers (LabSense) as well as other sensors supplied by Pi.

Vice President and General Manager at Chemtrac, John Clark said: “It’s more than just a business relationship – it’s a trusted partnership. We collaborate with Pi to create better products, better systems and better solutions for our customers. We are in communication with Pi daily, and we try to get together at least a couple of times a year. We share new ideas, technical expertise and practical experiences.”

Jim Evans, Technical Director, flew to the UK to attend Pi’s 20th Anniversary party on behalf of Chemtrac. He said: “It was an honour to represent Chemtrac at the 20th Anniversary celebration. While the event was a black-tie affair, it was not at all stuffy as many formal functions can be. In contrast to the formal attire, the gathering seemed rather casual. I think that this is due to the unique family atmosphere that Pi has created among their employees and in their workplace.”
