Lot #10Level – Hydrostatic HeadCancelledPublished value£37,500
The level transmitter shall be capable of inferring liquid level measurement by means of hydrostatic head in a range of applications ranging from crude sewage to final effluent in wastewater applications and from raw water to potable water in water applications. Instruments will be required for borehole level measurement applications and reservoir depth measurement applications. Applications may include requirements for rod or rope type instrument versions.
Lot #11Level – UltrasonicCancelledPublished value£16,000
Lot #12Level - RadarCancelledPublished value£16,000
Lot #13Level - Open ChannelCancelledPublished value£12,000
Lot #14Electromagnetic FlowmetersCancelledPublished value£25,000
The instrument(s) shall be capable of measuring flow in raw water, partially treated water and final treated water in potable water treatment, and in crude sewage, final effluent and sewage sludge including MCert applications. Instruments are required for chemical dosing applications for a range of chemicals found in the water and wastewater treatment processes.
Lot #15Area Velocity FlowmetersCancelledPublished value£187,500
The instrument(s) shall be capable of measuring flow in raw water, partially treated water and final treated water in potable water treatment, and in crude sewage, final effluent and sewage sludge including MCert applications.
