AMI system

Kamstrup AMI is an AMI solution that achieves a high reading performance with minimal hardware investment. The new system from Kamstrup supplies hourly consumption data and analytics to water utilities, enabling water professionals to work more proactively with data. With no external wires, the communication unit is housed inside the meter. This eliminates the risk of disconnected wires and unplanned maintenance costs down the road. With data, water professionals can make informed decisions about budget planning, ways to enhance customer service and take charge in proactively repairing mains and pipes in the distribution network before they become catastrophic incidents.

Mixed-bed exchanger for demineralizing water

Specialty chemicals company LANXESS has developed the Lewatit NM 3367 mixed-bed ion exchange resin to demineralize the water used to charge and top up modern hot water heating systems. The custom-designed mixed-bed system not only prevents scale formation in the parts of a heating system that convey water but also provides lasting protection against corrosion. The specific mixing ratio takes into account the fact that anion exchange resins generally have a lower capacity than cation equivalents. The higher proportion of anion exchange resin ensures a long service life and thus highly efficient demineralization with the new mixed bed.

Fall protection

The new 3M™ DBI-SALA® Comfort Grip Connector from 3M™ Fall Protection improves connecting and disconnecting while providing flexibility to anchor efficiently and comfortably in multiple orientations. Designed and certified to arrest a fall when loaded in multiple orientations, the Comfort Grip Connector features 5,000-pound tensile strength as well as up to 3,600 pounds in transverse and gate strengths. When connected to a vertical or transverse application, such as a pipe, the hand-guard pin shears in the event of a fall to allow the connector to align with the direction of the fall and remain securely anchored.
