New Products
This monitoring platform has
built-in cybersecurity
The Orbit 60 Series (photo) is a nextgeneration
condition-monitoring and
protection platform that collects and
processes data to evaluate machine
health. It is said to be the first intrinsically
cyber-secure machinery-monitoring
platform with a built-in data diode,
which enables secure one-way data
transfer from the device to this company's
System 1 machinery-management
software for proactive monitoring
and diagnostics. This platform offers 80
dynamic data channels, compared to
the industry average of 50, with 1,200
times higher signal-processing power
in a small physical footprint, says the
manufacturer. The Orbit 60 system is
certified to safety integrity levels (SIL) 2
and 3, and is compliant with API 670
standards. - Bently Nevada, LLC, a

New flow and energy meters for
non-invasive measurements
The Dynasonics TFX-5000 ultrasonic
clamp-on flow and energy meters
(photo) are designed for non-invasive,
ultrasonic transit-time measurement
for use in water and wastewater treatment,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) and oil-and-gas applications.
TFX-5000 meters measure
volumetric flow and heating or cooling
rates in clean liquids, as well as those
with small amounts of suspended solids
or aeration, such as surface water
or raw sewage. By clamping onto the
outside of pipes, ultrasonic devices
like the TFX-5000 meter do not contact
the internal liquid and have inherent
advantages, such as reduced installation
time and cost. The TFX-5000
devices are available in two versions: a
flowmeter for water delivery, raw sewage,
cooling water, sea water, deionized
water, water-glycol mixtures, alcohols,
chemicals and many caustic
fluids; and a heating/cooling energy
flowmeter used in conjunction with
dual clamp-on resistance temperature
detectors (RTDs) for temperature
measurement in hydronic processes
and HVAC systems. - Badger Meter,

Turbo blowers added to this
company's product portfolio
This company has added PillAerator
turbo blowers (photo) to its line of
rotary-lobe and rotary-screw blowers.
This action significantly expands
offerings for the water and wastewater
market and other large-flow,
low-pressure applications, including
bioreactors and fluegas desulfurization.
Available with flowrates from
4,700 up to 10,000 ft3/min, PillAerator
blowers feature gas-tight, permanent
magnet motors with active
magnetic
bearings,
integrated
frequency
converters and closed-loop
water cooling. Units are compact and
quiet, and advanced controls offer
full interoperability with SCADA systems.

These new drives feature
enhanced safety functionality
The new Sinamics G120X drive (photo)
is designed for use with pumps, fans
and compressors in many industrial
sectors, such as water, wastewater,
HVAC, irrigation, agriculture and
more. Sinamics G120X has a power
range of 1 to 700 hp (0.75-630 kW)
and can operate in a temperature
range from -4 to 140°F with any standard
motor, including synchronous
reluctance motors (SRM). Sinamics
G120X meets all the latest and upcoming
UL, NEMA and EN/IEC standards
and offers up to 100 kA shortcircuit
current rating (SCCR), ensuring
enhanced product safety and energy
efficiency, says the manufacturer.
The compact design of the G120X
saves space in the control cabinet,
and it has hardware-based built-in
safety functions that are certified to
SIL 3. - Siemens Digital Industries,

New membrane elements tackle
biofouling in desalination units
This company has released the
fouling-resistant seawater Filmtec
SW30XFR 400/34 membrane element
for reverse-osmosis systems.
This new element has been specifically
designed to address biofouling
in seawater reverse-osmosis (SWRO)
